Magical Madrid
Sexy, sophisticated and oozing exuberance, Madrid is not just a city; it's a way of life. Madrid is Spain's wild child who ignores all curfews. Maybe that's because of the late-night tapas bars and clubs, which make Madrid a premier party city. Or maybe it's because the Madrileños' day is based around the afternoon siesta. Whichever it is, once there you will find yourself embracing both – particularly the siesta, because you'll need all your energy to take in all that Madrid has on offer.
Madrid's draw cards are countless: exceptional art galleries like the Museo del Prado and the modern Centro de Arte Reina Sofia house some of the world's most significant artworks by Spanish legends like Goya and Picasso. Emerging from its dark past under Franco's dictatorship, Madrid's beautiful Plaza de Neptuno, Plaza Mayor and Plaza de la Villa are a spectacular reminder of its riotous glory days and provide the perfect backdrop to the rows of touristy restaurants and bars that line the plazas.
Madrid is not only the capital of Spain, it's also its heart and soul. From barhopping to bullfighting, Madrid has so much culture and history and fun and passion and sheer sex appeal that it will exhaust even the most intrepid traveller.
Madrid's Top 10
10. El Rastro is Madrid's largest outdoor market, squashed between Plaza Mayor, La Latina and Puerta de Toledo. |
5. Gran Via is the main shopping boulevard, with theatres, great architecture and even better shopping. |
9. Juan Carlos I Park Madrid's honorary park, dedicated to King Juan Carlos I, now has modern art and sculptures throughout. | 4. Palacio Real The Royal Palace is the largest in Europe (which is really saying something), and has stunning stonework grounds. |
8. Palacio de Cristal is a beautiful glass and ceramic palace overlooking the lake in Retiro Park. |

2. Centro de Arte Reina Sofia The Sofia has an impressive modern art collection, including works by Dali, Miro and, most famously, Picasso's Guernica. |

Madrid Local
Madrid is made up of 21 individual districts, known as barrios, each with its own distinctive character and personality. But consistent throughout is the Madrileños' sense of fun – and whichever barrio you are in, the rising sun means the party is just getting started.
Salamanca is Madrid's designer district, full of beautiful people. This cramped barrio, with its narrow streets focused on the Puerta del Sol is Madrid's exclusive shopping spot. The main street, Calle de Serrano, abounds in fancy boutique shopping for die-hard fashionistas. But scratch Salamanca's superficial surface and you'll find some of Madrid's best-kept foodie secrets, with intimate and sophisticated tapas bars hiding in secret pockets in the neighbourhood.
El Barrio de Salamanca offers a wonderful array of architecture, high art and culture. But don't worry, like every good barrio in Madrid, the nightlife will probably be more memorable. Being a university town, students cram the Plaza Mayor on weekends, turningthe stunning square into an outdoor party zone.
Otherwise known as Barrio de Las Letras, the 'district of letters' is the historical epicentre of Spanish literature. It inspired Don Quixote, one of the first novels ever written, and author Miguel de Cervantes' house is a serious drawcard for literary buffs.Huertas has an historic, old-world Spanish charm. It will see you swooning to jazz at an ancient sherry bar before heading to see a Flamenco show. Weekends in Huerta up the ante, and the barrio turns into a party neighbourhood, with fashionable crowds heading out to the many clubs and bars.
Chueca is the liberal and lively setting of Madrid's busy gay scene. Just off Gran Via, the narrow streets of Hortaleza, Infantas, Barquillo and San Lucasare packed with 20-something-year-old party animals making the most of the tapas, wine and bars, and some decidedly risqué-looking haunts.
It's a great place to eat, drink then party the night away with the locals in a haze of red, red wine. The main square of Chueca is cluttered with chairs and tables of outdoor cafés during summer – perfect to soak up the sun and the Spanish way of life.
Barrio Malasaña is like the cool, slightly more responsible older sister of Chueca. It has a laidback and alternative approach to partying, with casual cafés and grungy student bars displaying all the character without the hefty price tag. By day, get amongst Plaza Santa Ana's vibrant scene of bars, restaurants and vintage fashion stores surrounded by some spectacular architecture. By night, barhop your way around Plaza Dos de Mayo to sample the best of Madrid's underground dance scene.La Latina
La Latina is one of the most picturesque parts of old Madrid, with beautiful plazas and churches, as well as some of the best tapas bars in the city. La Latina acts as the wind down zone between all the party barrios of Madrid, where locals nurse hangovers the best way they know how – with more cerveza (beer) in the squares and streets of La Latina.
Every Sunday morning, the massive outdoors El Rastro flea market becomes a human washing machine of bargain-hungry Madrileños, shopping for second-hand clothes, books and arts and crafts. Visit the Basilica de San Francisco El Grandeto see fantastic frescoes, including one by Goya.
Madrid Food & Drink
Make the most of siesta time, because dinner isn't served before 9pm at the earliest. Just a tip – avoid a restaurant if its menu is in more than five languages.
Churros Not a restaurant, but the national delight – available pretty much everywhere. Fried doughnut-like strips are dunked in a deliciously thick, hot chocolate. Seriously yummy! |
Cafe De Oriente's outdoor terracehas great views across to the Palacio Real and Teatro Real, making it the perfect place to dine before or after a show. |
Zalacain Elegant, romantic and Michelin-starred. Try an aromatic fish dish or the pigeon salad. The wine cellar has around 35,000 bottles of local and imported wine. |
La Castela One of the best tapas bars in Madrid. Quality, seasonal produce is used to create little masterpieces on the plate. If you're stuck deciding on what to go with – don't be. It's all good. |
Casa Lucio A non-descript wooden entrance leads you into a cosy dining room. The flavours of the traditional Castilian food will have you jumping up and down inside. | Botin is the oldest restaurant in the world, dating from 1725. Almost three centuries later, the atmosphere remains vibrant. You must try one of the cochinillos (oak-fired pork). |
El fogón de Trifón Generous lashings of red wine and fresh prosciutto off the bone. Not a bad way to start at this boutique restaurant. Try the fried blood sausage or the bull's tail for something delightfully different. |
Taberna El Rincón de Goya Enormously popular with Madrid's beautiful people, it has a good variety of fresh, tasty tapas. Sit back and have a glass of wine with the noisy locals and enjoy. |
Cava Blanca is much more reasonably priced compared to its gastronomic compañeros. An immaculate white dining room allows the bold Spanish food speak for itself. Try the crawfish fritters and mushroom risotto. | La Terraza del Casino is not in a casino, but an exclusive dining room, with a two-star Michelin rating (which justifies the expense). The degustation menu is created by El Bulli legend, Ferran Adria. |
Madrid Events
Carnaval marks the week before Lent by dressing up and taking to the streets, bars – anywhere really – for a wild party. The festivities start at Plaza Mayor, followed by a parade down Paseo de la Castellana. Mid-February.
Bullfighting season starts in March and continues weekly until Octoberat the Plaza de Toros Monumental de Las Ventas.If you can look past the animal cruelty, you will see Madrileños cheering on their favourite bullfighters.
Dos de Mayo (2 May) commemorates Madrid's bloody retaliation against Napoleon's troops in 1808. It is now the Madrid's official holiday and festivities kick off at Plaza Dos de Mayo.
Madrid's patron saint, San Isdiro, is celebrated a week before and after the official day, San Isidro's Feast Day (15 May). Concerts and street flamenco shows fill the streets till the early morning.
The Festival de Otoño en Primavera (Festival of Autumn in Spring – a slightly bizarre concept, but no stranger than 'Christmas in July' in parts of the southern hemisphere) showcases some of the world's best performing arts at the Teatro de la Zarzuela, Teatro Albéniz and Teatro Madrid, the Círculo de Bellas Artes. Mid-May to mid-June.
The San Antonio de la Florida festival celebrates the 13 June feast day of San Antonio, the patron saint of seamstresses (hey, they need looking after, too!). Street parties take hold of the Paseo de la Florida in the Parque de la Bombilla.
The PhotoEspana is dedicated to photography and the visual arts and features exhibitions, workshops and talks in various museums from 1st of June up to the 24th of July.
Don an eye patch, a peg leg and a parrot and head to the Vallecas district in July for Spain's largest pirate-themed water fight, the Batalla Naval de Vallecas.
The Verbena de la Paloma Festival is held each August in the La Latina. It features some of Madrid's most popular pastimes; drinking, dancing, singing – and then some more drinking.
Madrid's International Jazz Festival has featured legends like Chick Corea and Dizzy Gillespie in the past. Catch shows at Teatro Fernán Gómez and Teatro Circo Price. Late-October to November.
When To Go
Summer (June to August), is perhaps the best time to see Madrid. Temperatures are between 16 and 31°C (70-88°F), with long sunny days and no rainfall.
Spring (March to May) sees plenty of sun and only occasional rain, plus comfortable temperatures that peak at around 22°C (72°F).
Winter (December to March) is the low tourist season, so it can be a good time to visit if you don't mind the rain, freezing cold (we're talking temperatures below zero!) and snow.
What To Miss
Avoid eating in the major squares like Plaza Mayor. The restaurants there are mostly tourist traps, with overpriced food that has been horribly bastardised to suit Western tastes. Instead, buy a bocadillo at a nearby deli and head back to enjoy the plaza without the ludicrous expense.
Lavapiés has a reputation for drawing some dangerous bohemian types on weekends – so keep obnoxious tourist chanting to a minimum to avoid running into any danger.
Pickpockets prowl all the popular tourist haunts. Especially the crowded El Rastro flea market, Puerta del Sol and, of course, the metro.
Getting Around
Walking is the best way to see Madrid, but the public transport is easy and efficient and a good way to rub shoulder with the locals.
Madrid's metro is very fast and so easy to use. Single fares cost €1, but a 10-trip ticket or Metrobus is available and can be used on both trains and buses.
Buses in Madrid are efficient and reliable – and cheap.
Taxis are fairly inexpensive in Madrid and can be picked up at any street corner. They do have a reputation for ripping off tourists, so make sure it's metered or you negotiate a fair price before travelling.
Leisure & recreation
Madrid is a shopper's paradise, with some of the best shops in Europe selling just about everything you can think of. Small, quirky antique shops mix with large department stores, as well as colourful and vibrant markets, so there is a shopping experience here to suit everyone. Salamanca is Madrid's up market 'golden mile', and definitely a place to exercise your credit card to the max. Chueca is packed with designer stores, while Rastro attracts tourists and locals alike for its antiques, jewellery, and second hand stalls.
The nightlife in Madrid is legendary with bars, theatres, cinemas and nightclubs which stay open until the early hours. Early risers will not appreciate the late hours which are the norm - most people only head to the nightclubs at around 1am.
General Information
As one of the most expansive and populous travel destinations in Europe, frenetic Madrid is a top-notch city for tourism. Home of the Gran Via, Prado Museum and Real Madrid football, the cosmopolitan capital of Spain welcomes millions of visitors every year.
In addition to the city's considerable worth as a vacation paradise, the actual Community of Madrid, one of seventeen autonomous areas in Spain, is replete with charm beyond the urban confines of the capital. Made up for the most part by Madrid city, the community of 6.2 million people is within the literal geographic heart of the country. As such, the area contains the beautiful Guadarrama mountain range and scenic Lozoya Valley. With campgrounds, picnic spots, national parks and ski resorts, visitors who need a respite from the hustle bustle of Madrid will appreciate the proximate towns outside of the capital. Even a cursory tour of the Community of Madrid is a momentary and welcome breath of fresh air from the museums and nightclubs.

Girls enter puberty between the ages of 8-14. Boys enter this stage between the ages of 9-14. When this stage is late, it is called delayed sexual development.
This condition can be caused by:
Factors that may increase the chance of delayed puberty include:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
One common symptom for both boys and girls is shortness in height. Other symptoms by gender include:
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your child's milestones and growth record will be reviewed. An x-ray of the left wrist bones may be taken. This will help to assess if bone development is normal for your child's age.
Your child's hormone levels may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
Images may be taken of your child's bodily structures. This can be done with:
There is often no treatment for those who are healthy and just starting later than their peers. They will continue to be monitored.
Other treatment depends on the cause. For those who have a chronic underlying disease, treatment is aimed at the specific condition. After the condition is treated, puberty often begins on its own.
For others treatments may include:
Sex hormones will help begin sexual development. They may be given to those with chromosomal abnormalities. This can include Turner syndrome or Klinefelter syndrome. Hormones may also be given to teens who are severely delayed or overly stressed by their lack of development.
Other medications may be added to sex hormone replacement medications. They may help increase height in children and young adults with constitutional delay of puberty.
Counseling may be suggested for adolescents who are struggling with the delay. This may help the child cope with social pressures.
Your child's height, weight, and sexual development will continued to be monitored. This will help determine if any treatment has been effective.
Most causes of delayed sexual development cannot be prevented. To help reduce the chance, make sure your child maintains a healthy lifestyle. This includes making sure your child is eating well and getting nutrients. Make sure any underlying illness is treated.

Scores of Cleburne County residents filled the Cleburne County Nursing Home's cafeteria on Thursday to learn about potential privatization of ambulance service for nearly 15,000 county residents (Photo: M. Dean Smith)
HEFLIN - During a heated board meeting attended by nearly 100 residents, the Cleburne County Hospital Board passed a temporary budget which prevents the sale of ambulance service to a private company. The budget was drafted four days before the meeting and presented in the eleventh hour by the hospital board's most recent appointment Tracy Lambert. "Give me six months and if it doesn't work I'll stand up here and I'll tell everyone that I'm a failure," Lambert said of his budget proposal.
In March of last year the board hired Ralph Mitchell, a consultant from the Birmingham-based Administrative Services LLC, to evaluate the ambulance service's operations. Of the options available for the ambulance service, Mitchell recommended outsourcing services to a private company to correct any budget shortfalls experienced by the hospital board.
A presentation by Northstar EMS Inc., a private Tuscaloosa-based company, was scheduled for the meeting. The Northstar EMS presentation never happened, however, once Lambert took the floor and presented his budget. "We've cut this down to an $864,000 total budget," Lambert said. Cleburne County EMS originally requested $948,000 according to Lambert. "That's over $80,000 in savings," he said.
Lambert expects that $80,000 savings to keep Cleburne County's ambulance service running at the same level of service. Most of the savings comes in the form of scheduling changes for employees, particularly unscheduled overtime, which will cut about $7,000 from last year's budget.
Cleburne County EMS Director Keith Roberts said he has been involved with ambulance service since 1989 and has been aware of budget shortfalls since taking charge three years ago. "When I gave the alarm a few months ago a lot of people dove into action," he said. Roberts said he did not agree with a private company replacing the Cleburne County EMS for fear the quality of service would not match current operations. "Fixing me and fixing my operation is the solution," he said.
Advanced EMT Jeremy Hoffman said despite the changes he is thrilled that a budget was passed and outsourcing was avoided. Hoffman knew that changes would have to be made with staffing in order to rescue the struggling service. "I'll stand behind the changes that have to be made," Hoffman said.

Really dug the pilot episode. It didn't blow my mind and I didn't expect that anyway. It's a tv show and those expecting theater movie quality and scale are just....well idiots. That's not to say that you can't just not like it.
I like the fact that I know it takes place in the Marvel cinematic world. As trivial as that may appear to some I like that and it's one of my old peeves with the Nolan films for example.

Report: Mariners might pursue Hamilton
Seattle looking to spend money in free agency
Published On: Nov 15 2012 05:36:02 AM PST
Mariners president Chuck Armstrong told CBSSports.com that the team, led by general manager Jack Zduriencik, is still setting its course for free agency.
"We are going to have more money to spend," Armstrong said. "And we do need offense."
The Mariners ranked at the bottom of the American league this past season in numerous hitting categories, including battling average, total bases and runs.
Armstrong said Zduriencik "hasn't given me a proposal yet, so I can't gauge our level of interest yet" on Hamilton.
Hamilton hit .285 with 43 homers and 128 RBI in 148 games last season, his fifth with Texas.

DERBY–Some athletes slow up their pace in the off-season. Some join travel teams and play sporadically, maybe twice a month with a few practices thrown in to keep the players sharp. Members of the North Country Wrestling Club (North Country Wrestling Team during the season, as the club got back its' varsity status last season) prefer to take a different approach. Instead of less, they prefer more. As in five days a week, and we are more than three months away from wrestling season and over a month away from the next tournament on the schedule.
ORLEANS–The Annual Ranger Give & Go Basketball Camp is in full swing at the Don Harter Memorial Gymnasium. The camp is run by the Lady Rangers head coach Mark Tinker, and has been going steady for nearly a decade. "I started the camp when I took over the Varsity program here because I felt we needed something for the feeder program and I up and started it." The camp is open to both boys and girls, and is split into two age groups; Campers in grades 3 through 5 attend in the morning and 6 through 8 in the afternoon.
It has been a busy summer at Dunlavey's Black Belt Academy, owned and operated by 7th Don Master Rick Dunlavey – highest ranking Master in the Northeast Kingdom. More than 40 of his Tae Kwon Do students participated in the Derby 4th of July Parade. The float, provided and driven by Gosselin Water Wells, held a host of Dragons (mostly aged 3-6) while the Tigers, adult students and family members, marched alongside. The students wowed the crowd with Kibon One throughout the route. Later in July, the school moved to a new location at 292 Shattuck Hill Road in Derby.
Thought you were competing only in a Triathlon? Wrong. We had an open water swim going on and we had some very, very strong swimming going on in Lake Seymour. We may not have had the wherewithal to recognize you at the Award Ceremony, (our woodal machine broke down and we didn't have the times available yesterday afternoon). But all of you Aqua and Ollie and Swim Only participants were also in a swim competition (whether you knew it or not), and we are proud to announce the winners of the 3.5 mile Seymour Swim AND the 1.75 mile Seymour Swim.
Wrongway Joe Kurtz finds his way to being the top Aquaman, Laurie Hugg Threepeats, Daniel Soucy and Michelle Patrick claim the Ollie, Johnny Appleseed a/k/a Speedy Petee and Kristen Skulte take the Sprint. The Fresh Corn by Lee and Crew, The Crazy Good Music by Reckless Breakfast, and the wonderful good spirit everywhere were OUTSTANDING. Making it all happen: The battle hardened, IROC Staff and Hearty Volunteers (including another return by Julie Gunn), The Seymour Flotilla, and Lake Salem Association, ADA Flaggers, and the many, many wonderful sponsors of The Kingdom Summer Games 2012
NEWPORT–The North Country Heat Invitational Baseball Tournament took place this weekend at Gardner Park and the home team did not disapoint, going 4-0 to win the event. "The tournament went really well," said Heat Coach Mike LaCourse. "We got to see some new players that played with us that we may see next year at the high school. It was a good opportunity for the players to be in different roles and in a different environment."
The North Country 15-U Heat will be hosting two teams this weekend for their summer baseball invitational tournament. The team will be looking to rebound from last year's tourney in which they bowed out in the semi-finals. All games will be played at Gardner Park starting at 10:00 on Saturday morning and going through until Sunday evening. There will also be a home run derby Saturday evening at 7:00.
DERBY–The staff at IROC is getting ready for Saturday's 5th Annual Kingdom Triathlon and Seymour Swim. "We are expecting around one-hundred and fifty people this year," said Sue Engel. The event draws people from all over the United States and internationally as well. Staff members spent Thursday gathering materials in preparation for Friday's jaunt around the NEK to set up for the event. There will be an early registration and sign in at IROC Friday from 1:00-7:00 PM and the "Crazy Nuts Dinner" that evening from 6:00-9:00 PM at the Eastside Restaurant.
NEWPORT–Respect. It was the first word that came to my mind when I entered Deslandes Blue Wave Tae Kwon Do Academy studio. Master Christina Deslandes was working with a student when I arrived, and there was no fooling around. The youngster was focused, going through his workout with a business-like attitude rarely seen in a child of his age. But at Blue Wave that is the norm, not the exception. Students at the Academy learn the five tenets, courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control and indomitable spirit.

Overview: Smartphones and tablets are everywhere. Most companies allow employees to use personal mobile devices to access corporate data, but they typically have very little visibility into which employees are accessing corporate data and what kinds of devices they're using.

Tell Us Your Good News!
By Rebecca Teti
Let's try something different this weekend and share some good news with each other. Have an answered prayer, a nice moment, a joy, a good deed you witnessed to share? Or just something you are grateful for?
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
The floor is yours for any good news you have to share.
Watching my 2 yr old granddaughter this morning. My grand children are an amazing blessing!
A friend has been praying to Our Lady of Perpetual Help to heal her marriage & her relationship with her in-laws & she has seen some wonderful & amazing things happen. This friend is a revert to the Faith & has really grown in her new-found relationship with our Blessed Mother. Thanks be to God for answered prayers & for Mary's motherly intercession!
My good news...my sister's surgery went well. Her skull flap is back in place and she's feeling good. Now she's off to phase 2 of intensive rehab. God is so good! Thanks for your prayers!
So happy to hear the surgery went well, Amy! Thanks for coming back to tell us. Thank you, gene & Patricia!
Great news Amy! My good news is much less dramatic. My son, after having a wonderful vacation on Cape Cod (during which he had a perpetual smile on his face 24 hours/day), was very well behaved on the long drive home. The vacation was a lot of work for mommy and stressful due to the heat (although the ocean was wonderful), but it was worth it to see how much joy it brought him.

Communication Center
The Grinnell College Security Communication Center is located at 1432 East Street on the corner of 10th Avenue and East Street. The Communication Center is staffed 24 hours a day, every day. The department currently employs one Technical Support Assistant II (Dispatch Center Coordinator) and three (3) part-time call-in dispatchers and numerous part-time student dispatchers. All of our operators are trained to handle emergency situations. The Communications Center is supervised by the Director of Campus Safety & Security. The Communications Center is responsible for the following:
- Receiving incoming calls for assistance from the college and community.
- Maintain and operate the Security dispatch center.
- Dispatch Security Officers and other emergency services to locations needed.
- Operate the after hours campus telephone information system.
The communications operator is normally the first point of contact a person has with the Grinnell Security Department. When a call for service is received, the communications center operator is responsible for obtaining the caller's call back number, and the location and nature of the call. The operator should also obtain any information that will assist the responding Security Officer with the investigation of the incident. The coordinator of the Grinnell College Communications Center is Denise Bennett. Please direct any questions concerning the communications center to her.
Driver Training
Please contact Denise Bennett at the Campus Safety and Security Office, 269-4600, to sign up for the course. The objective of this course is to help you improve your ability to read and respond safely to potential collision-producing situations. Since this is not a lecture course, your participation and contributions throughout will be the keys to its success. By watching the video presentations, interacting with others in the class, and incorporating the skills into your daily driving, you will reduce your chances of becoming involved in a collision.
Enterprise Cars
The Enterprise regional manager believes they can provide better service, plus operate more efficiently, if the Grinnell office is closed and all rentals would come out of the Marshalltown office. The Grinnell office has only been open for 2 – 3 years, and before that time, the vehicles were delivered from the Marshalltown office.
Beginning Monday, March 18, when making Enterprise reservations online with trips originating from Grinnell, you will need to select Marshalltown from the drop down menu. Their office staff will get the online reservation and automatically know the vehicle needs to be delivered to the Grinnell College Security office.
The Marshalltown Enterprise phone number is: 641-752-1000 or 1-800-257-1136.
Safety Escorts
The Grinnell College Escort Service (Safe Rides) will escort you anywhere on the campus or within the city of Grinnell.
Staff members with the Campus Safety and Security Department will walk or drive you to and from your destinations on campus or within the city of Grinnell. The escorts carry two-way radios providing direct communication with the Dispatch Center.
Call the Grinnell College Campus Safety and Security Department at extension 4600 (on-campus) or at 269-4600 (off-campus).

Women's Self-Defense Class
The R.A.D. program is the worlds largest women's self defense program in the country. There are over 5000 certified instructors in 29 states and Canada. The program has been taught at more than 100 colleges and universities and has trained over 250,000 women since 1989. RAD program offers a free lifetime return and practice policy honored throughout the United States and Canada. Classes are offered through Grinnell College Safety and Security Office.
Our Instructional Objective:
"To develop and enhance the options of self defense, so they may become viable considerations to the woman who is attacked."
Awareness & Risk Reduction We teach risk reduction techniques that can be used at home, work, out and about, at your vehicle, as well while traveling or dating. We teach the importance of being aware of your surroundings and how that alone can be a deterrent to aggression. Self defense: We teach the principles of good defense and striking so women have several options when confronted by an aggressor. Women experience how to deliver an effective strike to vulnerable areas of the aggressor. The basic self-defense tactics are easy to learn, retain, and employ. Simulation: Women are then given the opportunity to experience an attack in a controlled setting. Instructors wear protective equipment that allows women to use the trained techniques at full power. The R.A.D. program is a 12-hour course usually divided over a two or three day period. Contact the Security Office at 269-4600 for more information or you can visit the R.A.D national website at: www.rad-systems.com
FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENTS Class sizes must be at least 5 participants and no more than 25. One class has 5 days of instruction up to 9 hours mandatory plus 3 additional hours are optional.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION If you are interested in setting up a class; please contact instructors by clicking on their names below. Please remember that the minimum class size is 5 in order to hold the class. Please remember this is a closed class for particpants only. Other self defense courses are given throughout the year. These courses are advertised during the college term.

Allen Park � They�re promising to call each other out now, without prejudice or pretense.
And that serves a dual purpose as the Lions begin again, with a new coaching staff hounded by the same, stale skepticism.
For one thing, presumably, it�ll save the rest of us the trouble if � or when � things don�t go right. For another, it�s a big part of what seemed to be missing the past two seasons as a talented roster failed to live up to expectations.
All that promise we saw in the playoff breakthrough in 2011 for the Lions was left battered and broken by the fourth-quarter failures and late-season collapses and the seemingly blameless decision-making � on and off the field � that ultimately spelled the end of Jim Schwartz�s five-year tenure in Detroit.
Now it�s Jim Caldwell�s turn, and unlike most of his predecessors, he starts from a position of strength, with a talented roster that is, as veteran center Dominic Raiola reiterated Sunday on the eve of training camp, �built to win right now.� Caldwell has said much the same, starting from the day he was introduced as the Lions� new head coach in January.
That pronouncement undoubtedly rings hollow to a fan base that�s been through this far too many times � even more than Raiola, who is beginning his 14th NFL season with his fifth head coach. (His sixth, actually, if you include Dick Jauron�s interim stint back in 2005.)
But it does set the right tone, at least.
No excuses
Because it says there�s no wiggle room here. Win, or they�ve failed. And if it�s anything but the former, we�d better not hear any excuses. We�d better hear an honest appraisal of why, starting with the coaching staff and the �cornerstone� pieces everyone in Allen Park keeps pointing to as the biggest reasons for optimism.
Illusory injury reports are one thing. Caldwell helpfully explained Sunday defensive end Ziggy Ansah will be back on the field �whenever the Lord says that he�s healthy and healed.�
But insulating some players from criticism � something Schwartz and his staff were rightfully accused of doing, most notably with quarterback Matthew Stafford � is another. And when asked if those days are over, Raiola replied frankly Sunday, �Yeah, you could say that.
�I know he does treat everybody the same,� he said of Caldwell. �He�s not afraid to single somebody out.�
As long as that applies to everybody � and by the sounds of it, it has this offseason, with Stafford and other entrenched starters put on the spot in team meetings � that�s a positive step.
Of course, it�s easier said and done now than in September when the games count, something Caldwell himself acknowledged Sunday. But the coach insists what his players have seen is what they�ll get � and then some.
�They don�t know me that well at this point,� he said. �They have a decent feel for me, but they don�t know me. Just like I don�t know them. � Things don�t get real tight during the offseason, right? It�s kind of the honeymoon. But when the season starts, it�s a little bit different. Things get a little bit more intense.�
Signs of improvement
So does the scrutiny, of course. Particularly for Stafford, whose erratic play down the stretch last season helped seal the Lions� fate. It wasn�t all on No. 9, obviously. But of his 14 turnovers in the final seven games, too many were unforced errors. And too often that fact seemed to get glossed over by Schwartz and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan.
Take that last-minute interception in the loss to Tampa Bay, for example. Sure, it came off a third-down drop by Calvin Johnson, but lost in the postgame analysis was the fact Stafford missed a wide-open Joique Bell on the other side for an easy first-down gain or possibly even the winning touchdown.
Same goes for some of those botched shotgun snaps in the snow in Philadelphia. Or the forced throws in the Monday night loss to Baltimore. And so on.
For now, Caldwell says he has been �impressed� with the progress Stafford has made in picking up a new offense � no easy task, to be sure. The quarterbacks reported early for camp, along with the rookies, in order to get a head start after more than a month away from the training facility.
�But he did not miss a beat,� Caldwell said of Stafford. �He�s a very smart guy. You can tell he�s worked at it. � And in every facet, I could see improvement � footwork, accuracy, timing, command of the offense, all of those things. So now we get a chance to see if he can put it all together.�
And if he doesn�t? Well, then we�ll get a chance to see � and hear � if the coach really means it.
�The guy has been around Peyton Manning,� said Raiola, noting Caldwell�s extended time in Indianapolis with the five-time league MVP. �So I think Matthew knows what his expectations are. And Jim will call him out, no different than anyone else. Or (offensive coordinator) Joe Lombardi will call him out. And that�s a good thing. That�s accountability.�
And for this team, as it begins another chapter, that�s where it has to start.

Homemade Granola Bars
21 comments:
I just made these and mine are not holding together, wanting to crumble????? Any thoughts as to what I did wrong??
ReplyDeleteRepliesTammy, I am sorry to hear this! A couple of others have commented, so I'm going to make an additional note in my post. I am using ingredients I am getting in China at this point, so perhaps my cereals are a bit different? I would cut back on the dry ingredients, or bump up the amounts on your Peanut Butter and Honey mixture. That should solve your problem!
Me too TammyF, Mine won't stay together either. I followed the directions. I only used 2 cups of Rick Krispy's instead of 2 1/2 cups. So my dry ingredients were slighlty less. Need help!
ReplyDeleteRepliesAck! Sorry Joyce... I have not had this problem in the many times I've made this recipe. If cutting back has not helped you, then I would suggest you need a bit more on the peanut butter and honey mixture. I would bump up those ingredients and make sure your dry ingredients are well coated (but not overly coated) before transferring to your pan.
DeleteI would reduce to time cooking. Pull just as it starts to boil. The mixture needs to be carmelly when cooled. But if cooked too long it will cause it to crumble.
I made these and they are super tasty but only about half of them stayed formed. :/ The other half we are eating as breakfast cereal. Which is great as well! I would like to figure out what I need to do to make them hold together so I can make them in the future! I followed the recipe. And used old fashioned oats... Any suggestion? What type of oats do you use?
MeghanRepliesMeghan, I am so sorry to hear that. I am not sure what the problem might be for you. I have made these several times, using different oats (quick cooking and regular), different cereals too... and always have had them work. I would suggest, however, that if it is crumbling that the ratio of syrup to dry mix needs to be increased. If you try this recipe again, don't put in as much cereal and/or oats... mix it up with the peanut butter syrup and see if you can add more. That, OR I would bump up the amount used in your honey, sugar, peanut butter mixture to make a bit more to cover your dry ingredients. Hope this helps!
Hi Tammy, I tried the recipe tonight - they are delicious! Unfortunately had to omit the cinnamon due to an allergy. Mine are a bit flimsy but I'm thinking maybe I didn't let my honey and sugar boil hard enough? Next time I will try to let it come to a hardier boil...but I also added a tbsp of coconut oil so that could have done it to me too! Adds a yummy flavor though :) LOVE the sprinkle idea...think my kiddos will go for that hands down ;)
ReplyDeleteAnother recipe I read said to firmly press the mixture so it compacts and does not crumble, then let cool completely. I tried this with the ones I made and seemed ok, but I may have pressed them too thin so next time I may try for thicker bars in a 9x9 or 8x8 instead of a 9x13. I'm going to try this recipe next.
ReplyDeleteRepliesI did make these and were less crumbly than a previous recipe I made. The dish I used was actually still a 3qt baking dish, but it's shorter than a regular 9x13 (I think it may be deeper instead of longer). I took out about 1/2 cup or so of the dry mixture and pressed firmly into the pan. I don't know if it was possibly the peanut butter that helped hold it together more so than my previous recipe without it, or if the other variables helped as well.
I made these, just now! However, I am vegan and used agave. If you use agave instead of honey, it does have a higher water content. I also used vegan chocolate chips, old fashioned oats and no flax, just didn't have any. Also due to an allery, I used sun butter!! I think a key here is to press them firmly to hold them together. Quick cooking oats will absorb more liquid (faster) than old fashioned.

A shower that takes place over an extended period of time. This longer shower is usually for the purpose of masturbation. Masturbation during a long shower is extremely convenient, because the person taking the long shower has lubricants ready, it is harder to be heard under the sound of the water, and the cleanup process practically takes care of itself.
Hey James, don't get too excited and slip during your long shower.
