Comments about Nike Men's Hypervenom Phantom FG Low Soccer Cleats:
It has a great feel, is skin tight yet super comfortable. Not the BEST support, but no blisters even without being broken in. They lasted about six months of rough use. I sent them back to nike and got a second pair for very cheap given the tearing of the upper. Great buy, I recommend for someone truly serious about soccer.

Comments about Nike Men's Hypervenom Phantom FG Low Soccer Cleats:
Had this boots on grass field 11x11 tournament. Buy this if you want to feel like playing with socks over cleats. I know the trend is to have boots feeling like your barefooted, but this one had no feel of protection or cushion on the upper and no feel of cushion over the cleats. I play mid forward and besides increased agility from its lightweight, i lost accuracy on my passes and free kicks. My feet hurts after every game and the toe box being wide allowed some unwelcome sliding of my feet. Very poor comfort. Will return this boots. Not for me.

Comments about Nike Men's Hypervenom Phantom FG Low Soccer Cleats:
I got these boots two months ago. I live in Arizona and weather gets up to the 120 degrees. I went to a tournament in San Diego, Ca (much cooler weather), and used them in a turf field, the ground got so hot from the plastic turf that the glue from the sole started melting and the boot started to come apart, imagine if I used them in a turf field in Arizona. My feet were too hot inside. I tried to take them back to store to get new ones, and they refused, I was told to contact NIKE., I had to pay shipping and handling, for the replacement, Good boots for winter season.

HawkMan and I have already told you what they gain; good publicity.
God forbid a company doesnt do something for good PR while doing something good in the processes. I guess that all the work MS is doing on patent reform is just garbage and all for PR as well to then. Thanks for explaining that to me. Anything a company does good is just for PR. Got it.
And thats all I have to say. Lots of hate/assumption. Moving on.

For much of the East Coast, the old saying rings true: spring is a lion before it's a lamb. From the Northeast down through the mid-Atlantic, weather conditions are anything but sunny in March. But luckily, there's a pilgrimage that's become tradition for many Right Coast school kids. Hop in the car, hit I-95, and pull up to the beach in Central Florida in a day or less, depending on your departure point. That leaves you plenty of time to soak up the Space Coast's balmy weather (that routinely sees glassy mornings, much often than in the fall) and maybe even a lingering north swell or an early season tropical treat (if the two combine, you're really in for a treat). From Cape Canaveral (hence, the name 'Space Coast') to Sebastian Inlet you'll find a variety of different waves and scenes. For example, there are the bustling boardwalks of Cocoa Beach and Indialantic, the quiet stretches of shore on Patrick Air Force base and south Melbourne Beach, and the revered peaks of Sebastian and coquina reefs of RC's. There's no better place to thaw out come springtime on the Eastside. Just bring a fishing pool and a beer coozy in case you get skunked.
Get there: $300-$500 for gas (round trip), depending on your car and the ping ponging price of fuel.
Wave Consistency: Spotty but hopeful.
Spots: Patrick Air Force Base, Indialantic Boardwalk, Sebastian Inlet.
Boards: Small wave, fish, longboard, kayak.
Localism: While you'll never get a wave at First Peak, at the majority of big name spots you'll find mostly Southern hospitality and blissful kooks. Or look around and find your own empty spot—there are plenty of them.
Danger: Almost non-existent in the crime department. But watch out for mosquitoes, other assorted insects that bite, extraordinary sunburns, deadly lightning storms, and the "men in grey suits," to name a few of the numerous natural threats.
Lodging: Reasonable (40-$75- for shared rooms) in motels and hotels; book ahead as things fill up fast, including the campsites (which are reserved a year out).
Party Scene: Have you seen any of the Girls Gone Wild videos?

Anderson walks on water while RH wades in poop!
Anderson walks on water while RH wades in poop!
As you mentioned Chris's submission game is lightyears ahead of chael's, but you didn't credit that his overall striking is far superior to sonnen as well.
I still think Anderson wins, but Weidman is the best opponent he's faced in 5 years, without any doubt in my mind.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
Here's my two cents on this most anticipated Anderson Silva fight of all time (for me).
The fight starts standing. Wediman is going to take the center of the Octagon and inch ever closer to Anderson. Mind you, this is the first time in Anderson's career that he is not going to enjoy a lengthy reach advantage. That is HUGE for a guy that likes to take the first few minutes to find his timing and range. Weidman is going to be able to throw strikes from outside the pocket as well as Anderson. Weidman's strikes don't have to be as accurate as Anderson's.
Weidman puts the pressure on Anderson early and often, using a variety of fakes and strikes to set up takedowns. Weidman doesn't have the power double of Chael, but he doesn't need it either. Chael isn't nearly as adept at hiding his takedowns and thus needs to rely on his power double.
Weidman gets Silva to the ground. What happens next is anyone's guess. My guess is that Weidman earns a TKO stoppage in the first round. I don't think Anderson gets submitted unless he eats a really good shot or two and finds himself dizzy.
But lets just say that Silva defends well and makes it to round two. His best chance of victory in my eyes is to land a very powerful strike that Weidman simply doesn't see coming (like a knee to the face during a takedown attempt). Otherwise Weidman has the right tools to make rounds two through five look like the first. And he isn't going to get hail-mary submitted like Sonnen did.
Besides, why does that even matter? Even if Sonnen had won that first fight, he failed his drug test. Result would have been overturned. Sure some records would be different but Sonnen wouldn't have earned a UFC belt.
"I don't want them to like me, because when I'm in the ring, punches fly to the face. It is not a tenderness time. I am not falling in love. And he knows that when the fight starts I kick faces."
"I think you should be able to kick in the head, its a fun thing to do."
Daniel-son style crane kick victory for Silva.
A tiger never loses sleep over the opinion of sheep.

Anderson Silva:
Best Fighter on the planet.
Chris wins this.
I am a Anderson fan but I think Chris has what it takes to win it.
I like both guys so I just want a good fight.

The artists whom prefer to perform in Panama range from legendary bands like Metallica and Journey to such renowned singers as Elton John, Raphael, Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan, José Feliciano and India. Alongside the incomparable Panamanian salsa singer, Rubén Blades, these are just some of the musical ambassadors that set up their stages on canal land.
Instrumental music also has its place in the country and put on a series of concerts. The annual Panama Jazz Festival invites local and international artists to create a rich fusion of rhythms. In additition to performances by the Panama Symphonic Orchestra, classical music is played during the Alfredo Saint-Malo Music Festival of Panama.
Concerts in Panama are typically held at the Figali Convention Center on the Amador Causeway, in the Anayansi Theater, and in the Las Islas hall at the Atlapa Convention Center. Other nightspots have provided performance spaces, such as Havana Panama and the National Theater in Old Town, Latitude 47 on Uruguay Street, and the Bora Bora nightclub in the Zona Viva on the Amador Causeway.
A wide range of activities await you in Panama, where you can enjoy the best music in one place.

The theme for National Family Caregivers Month 2010 is "Reach Out for Help". National Family Caregivers Association encourages family caregivers to reach out for help all the time, but now the message has extra meaning and is particularly important.
This year is the 10th anniversary of the National Family Caregivers Support Program; the very first piece of federal legislation to create a nation-wide program specifically to assist family caregivers. Under the auspices of the Administration on Aging, the program has helped over half a million family caregivers to date. Getting help begins with recognizing that you need it, then asking for it, and accepting it when it is offered. It isn't necessarily an easy thing to do, but it definitely is a really important one for family caregivers wanting a better quality of life for themselves and their loved ones.
Another reason for family caregivers to reach out for help now more than ever is because we are all swimming in rough economic waters. Many programs that have existed at the state and community level have either been cut back or eliminated all together. Family caregivers need volunteer help from their family, friends, and neighbors to ease the burden. The spirit of volunteerism is alive and well. Family caregivers can take advantage of this by reaching out for help with the day-to-day chores of life – making a meal, taking your car in for service, or just picking up a bottle of milk when needed.
So celebrate National Family Caregivers Month 2010 by helping family caregivers reach out for help and being there to provide it when asked.
In 1994, NFCA began promoting the celebration of family caregivers during the week of Thanksgiving. President Clinton signed the first presidential proclamation in 1997. Every president since then has also issued an annual proclamation showing appreciation for family caregivers. With interest growing in family caregiving issues, National Family Caregivers Week soon grew into National Family Caregivers Month. Every year, NFCA coordinates National Family Caregivers Month as a time to thank, support, educate and empower family caregivers.
What you may not realize is that each year, an army of volunteers across the country works tirelessly to shine a light on the efforts of family caregivers. Many of NFCA's volunteers secure proclamations from their governor, mayor, state senators and others, recognizing and appreciating the work that family caregivers do. These leaders and volunteers will be recognized; amplifying caregiver voices, keeping the work of family caregivers in the spotlight, and fulfilling one of NFCA's core messages: Speak Up for Your Rights!
For more information, tips and techniques for family caregivers visit www.thefamilycaregiver.org.
You can join the effort: Reach out to your elected officials – call Jane Cortez at 248-358-1186 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to get the sample proclamation and simple details, and to discuss volunteering for the Caregiver Community Action Network in your area. Together, our voices will ensure that your work as a family caregiver is appreciated.
Read the presidential proclamation for National Family Caregiver Month 2010 signed and issued by President Barack Obama.
This article was written by the National Family Caregivers Association, which educates, supports, empowers and speaks up for the more than 65 million Americans who care for loved ones with a chronic illness or disability or the frailties of old age. NFCA reaches across the boundaries of diagnoses, relationships and life stages to help transform family caregivers' lives by removing barriers to health and well being.

Sorcerer Socks
Also found in:
♠ Knee Highs ♠ DreaM Stockings ♠ Halloween ♠ Stripes ♠ Made in the USA ♠ Autumn ♠ Geeky & Nerdy ♠ Plus Sized ♠ Cosplay
Wizard school spirit! No magic spell could create socks as spellbinding as this. Four varieties for four types of wizard; whether you are brave, cunning, studious, or loyal, you'll definitely be the best-dressed young sorcerer in class! Made in the USA.
Approximately knee-high, about 16 inches from heel to top. The feet are small (women's shoe size 6-9), but larger feet will be comfortable in them, too. Thanks to the stretch, you'll hardly even notice if the heel is on your arch.
Both top cuff and calf stretch to 17 inches.
Additional Info: These socks pair perfectly with the Sorcerer Sleeves!
Regarding the Dark Blue & Silver vs. Bronze decision: it was simple - we do not have any bronze nylon yarn and our manufacturer had to add three new colors of yarn to their stock just to add the three other socks, which is why they arrived months after the originals! We chose the film version for the Blue/Silver socks, as the film offers the visual representation of the uniforms.
The current batch of Dark Blue and Silver is a bit lighter-weight than the other colors, so be aware of that if you buy them!
Fiber Content: 90% nylon, 10% Lycra®.
These should be washed in cool water and dried on low heat or they will shrink (even without a shrinking spell)!

Ravenclaw house colors are blue and bronze. No trollolloll . . . just kinda bummed.
I really love the sorcerer socks but I was wondering if you ever thought of making knee highs of these? I have curvier calves and crew socks never stay up for me but knee highs typically work fine. :)
I am interested in 40 of these. Any discount for this large an order?
would it be possible to get these for wider calves? this plus size hufflepuff would love a pair, but 17 inches is very most likely too small :(
As a hardcore fan of the books and movies, I love these. However, I don't understand the Hufflepuff ones: the main colour should be yellow and the two stripes black, following the logical pattern of the others houses. Is it possible to have them reversed?
Er...The person who commented on the inverted state of the Hufflepuff socks is correct- the colors are yellow (main) and black (secondary). The black is thought to represent iron. Sorry, I had to!
hello, just contacting you to ask if and when you'd possibly get some more of these in dark green and silver/grey? I'm a slytherin who wants to show some house pride on her legs... thank you!
Am officially out of room for socks. Overflowing. You know what that means... Time to start tossing underwear.

SHALIMAR — The new owners of Shalimar Pointe and Country Club credit a change in management style and attitude for its booming business.
"We're trying to respond to what this community wants in a golf course," said club board member Edwin Watts. "We're going to respond. That's going to be our business model, and right now our business model seems to be working."
Jim Szabo, the club's general manager, reported 193 golfers on the 18-hole course Friday morning — again.
"For the last two weeks we've been averaging this many every day that it didn't rain," Szabo said. "Our revenue is up 60 to 70 percent."
All this at a golf course, Szabo reminded, that was two weeks away from being bulldozed and turned into housing development.
In June 2012, Shalimar Pointe residents learned that developer Scott Meyer had contracted to buy the golf course from then-owner Meadowbrook Golf and was considering building as many as 200 homes.
Homeowners, 107 of them, reacted by ponying up the money needed to persuade Meadowbrook Golf to sell to them. They formed a company called Preserve Shalimar Pointe LLC to manage the deal.
The sale was completed in November.
What has evolved since then is a three-tiered management coalition comprised of the Shalimar Pointe Homeowners Association, Preserve Shalimar Pointe LLC and golf club members, Watts said.
The groups are focused on fixing up the property, wooing back golfers and making golf at Shalimar Pointe fun.
"There is no better golf course around here. All that was missing was treating people really well," Watts said. "The attitudes have totally changed from the management team that was here before."
The golfers are returning to Shalimar Pointe even while major renovations are under way. The clubhouse is being remodeled "from one end to the other" and "from floor to roof," Szabo said.
"We've started on the west end where the pro shop used to be and we're working our way to the other end," he said.
"But we're always going to have something open," added Watts.
The renovations should be complete in about two months, Watts said. At that time there will be a grand opening so the public can see all that has taken place.
In the meantime, visitors don't seem to mind the work in progress.
"People aren't complaining," Szabo said. "They're happy to see the ambience out here."

Cape Point
Visit the most South-Westerly tip of Africa
Cape Point, the most south-westerly tip of Africa, is a spectacular sight, covered in endemic fynbos and home to breathtaking bays, beaches and rolling green hills and valleys, just 60km outside of Cape Town.
The Cape of Good Hope
Cape Point falls within the Cape Floral Region, a World Heritage Site, and is the most southerly point within the Good Hope section of Table Mountain National Park. The Cape Floral Region is one of the richest areas for plants in the world – it is home to nearly 20% of Africa's flora.
Spend at day at the Point
Plan a picnic in the park or on the beach, hike or mountain bike, have lunch in the delicious Two Oceans Restaurant (bookings essential; +27 (0)21 780 9200) high above the crashing waves of False Bay, or simply catch The Flying Dutchman funicular to some superb lookout points over the Atlantic Ocean.
Apart from the spectacular view, you'll be able to see the most powerful lighthouse on the South African coast, which helps guide ships safely through perilous waters that have seen to the end of many a vessel.
Wildlife at the Point
Look out, too, for pelagic birds of which there are a large variety, zebra, eland, and the many species of reptiles and small mammals. Chacma baboons are common here, especially at the point itself. Don't be tempted to feed the baboons and rather stay well away, as they can be aggressive.
Visitor's Info
Cape Point is open daily and is a must-see. Enter via the access gate to the Cape Point Nature Reserve. The reserve is open from 06h00 to sunset in summer and 07h00 to 17h00 in winter.
Ticket prices
Tickets cost R110 per adult and R50 per child. It is not necessary to book beforehand.

Cango Caves
29km from Oudtshoorn, at the head of the picturesque Cango Valley, lies the spectacular underground wonder of the Klein Karoo - the Cango Caves. Situated in a limestone ridge parallel to the well-known Swartberg Mountains, you will find the finest dripstone caverns, with their vast halls and towering formations.
Southern Suburbs
The Southern Suburbs are a tourist's delight. The area, which stretches from the slopes of the Table Mountain range to the False Bay coast, offers natural attractions and a vibrant nightlife.
St James
Just a little further on from Cape Town's well-known Muizenberg beach is St James. Home to a cluster of well-known and oft-photographed bathing boxes on the beach, St James is a picturesque area that offers beachgoers respite from the westerly wind.
Llandudno and Sandy Bay
Only 18km from the Cape Town city centre, an arc of fine white sand gives away the secluded location of one of Cape Town's most beautiful beaches, Llandudno.
Macassar Dunes Project
The Macassar Dunes Project is located on the Cape Town coast adjacent to Macassar and Khayelitsha and is bounded by the Eerste River, Baden Powell Drive and False Bay.

Private Schools - FAQs
Definition of a private school:
- What is a Private School?
Section 1002.01(2), F.S., states a "private school" is:
- …a nonpublic school defined as an individual, association, co-partnership, or corporation, or department, division, or section of such organizations, that designates itself as an educational center…
- …includes kindergarten or a higher grade or as an elementary, secondary, business, technical, or trade school below college level…
- …or any organization that provides instructional services that meet the intent of s. 1003.01(13), F.S…
- …or that gives pre-employment or supplementary training in technology or in fields of trade or industry or that offers academic, literary, or career training below college level…
- …or any combination of the above, including an institution that performs the functions of the above schools through correspondence or extension, except those licensed under the provisions of Chapter 1005, F.S.
- A private school may be a parochial, religious, denominational, for-profit, or nonprofit school.
This definition does not include home education programs conducted in accordance with s. 1002.41, F.S.
- What is an "umbrella school"?
The term "umbrella school" is sometimes used to refer to a private school offering distance programs or services to enrolled students. If students are registered with a private school listed in the Florida Private Schools Directory, they are considered private school students, not home education students, regardless of where, or by whom, they receive instruction.
- How can I locate information regarding private schools in Florida?
The Florida Private Schools Directory is a database of information submitted by private schools. The database is intended to provide "a service to the public, to governmental agencies, and to other interested parties" and not to "regulate, control, approve or accredit private educational institutions." s. 1002.42(2)(h), F.S. As such, the Department of Education does not verify the accuracy of the data submitted pursuant to the annual survey and inclusion of a school's information in the database does not imply approval or accreditation by the Department of Education.
- Does enrolling my child in a private school satisfy the compulsory attendance requirements?
Yes. s. 1003.21(1)(a)1., F.S., states that all children who have attained the age of 6 years or who will have attained the age of 6 years by February 1 of any school year or who are older than 6 years of age but who have not attained the age of 16 years, except as otherwise provided, are required to attend school regularly during the entire school term. Private schools as defined in s. 1002.01(2), F.S., satisfy the requirements for attendance according to s. 1003.01(13), F.S.
- Is there a requirement for length of school year in private schools?
Yes. Rule 6A-1.09512, F.A.C., provides the following criteria:
- One hundred eighty (180) actual school days determined as prescribed by Section 1011.60(2), Florida Statutes, or
- A minimum of one hundred seventy (170) actual school days and the hourly equivalent of one hundred eighty (180) actual school days, determined as prescribed below:
- Kindergarten: Five hundred forty (540) net instructional hours.
- Grades 1-3: Seven hundred twenty (720) net instructional hours.
- Grades 4-12: Nine hundred (900) net instructional hours.
- Does the Florida Department of Education license private schools?
No. The Department of Education does not have jurisdiction over private schools. Legislative intent not to regulate, control, approve, or accredit private educational institutions, churches, their ministries, religious instruction, freedoms, or rites, is explicit. The owners of private elementary and secondary schools in Florida are solely responsible for all aspects of their educational programs.
- Do private schools have to be accredited?
No. In Florida, private schools are not accredited by the state. Additionally, the Florida Department of Education does not officially recognize any of the various agencies that accredit private schools. Contact the private schools and accrediting agencies to determine the accreditation status.
- Do private schools have to hire certified teachers?
No. The owners of private elementary and secondary schools in Florida are solely responsible for establishing duties, qualifications, and salaries of faculty and staff.
- How do I know if a private school is legitimate?
Since private schools in Florida are not regulated or accredited by the state, the Department of Education is unable to determine the legitimacy of a school. You have the right and the responsibility to select the appropriate school to meet your child's learning needs. The Choosing a Private School in Florida Web page can help you to evaluate your private school choices to see if the needs of your child will be met.
- Do private school students have to take the FCAT or other standardized tests?
Student assessment, including the administration of standardized tests, is based on the decision of the owners and individual policies of private elementary and secondary schools. There are no state requirements for regularly enrolled students of private schools to take the FCAT or other standardized tests. McKay Scholarship and Florida Tax Credit Scholarshipstudents have the option to request to take the FCAT or other state wide assessments. Florida Tax Credit Scholarship students in grades 3 through 10 are required to take the approved norm-referenced assessment offered by their private school
- Are private school transcripts or diplomas approved by the Florida Department of Education?
No. The owners of private elementary and secondary schools in Florida are solely responsible for establishing academic, graduation or promotion requirements. It is wise to check with the prospective college, university, or employer to determine whether or not diplomas and transcripts from a specific private school will be accepted.
- Do private schools have to follow a certain curriculum?
No. Content and comprehensiveness of the curriculum are solely the responsibility of the owners of private elementary and secondary schools in Florida.
- Will credits from a private school transfer to public schools in Florida?
Rules 6A-1.09941 and 6A-1.09942 , F.A.C., set the criteria for accepting credits from private schools.
- If a private school closes, where can I get a transcript or copy of a diploma?
The owners of private elementary and secondary schools in Florida are solely responsible for student records content, retention, transfer, and release. According to s. 1002.42(3)(b) and (c), F.S., all private schools that close should transfer information contained in student records to the local public school district superintendent or transfer records to that private school system or association of which they have been a member. Private schools that close should notify the Department of Education of the date of transfer, the location of storage, the custodian of records, and the number of records stored.
If the Florida Department of Education is not notified as to the location of records, they are considered lost. The Department of Education does not have any means of retrieving lost records.
- If I withdraw my child from a private school before the end of the year, can I get a refund?
The owners of private elementary and secondary schools in Florida are solely responsible for establishing tuition, fee scales, pupil expenditures, and refund policies. Check your enrollment agreements carefully.
- Does the state pay for any private school costs?
There are two state school choice scholarship programs that have been established to provide Florida parents and students with educational options to attend a private school: The McKay Scholarship Program for students with disabilities, and the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program for children of families with limited financial resources. Please visit the Florida Department of Education McKay Scholarship and Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Web pages for more information on opportunities they provide.

Since getting your muscle car to carve corners and rip up autocross events has become the hot new thing, we wanted to explore one of the more common questions: "How big of a sway bar do I need?"
First of all, let's explain what a sway bar is. A sway bar is a suspension component used to reduce body roll during a cornering situation. It does this by tying the left and right lower control arms together with two pivot points on the frame. When the left and right suspension assemblies cycle together, the sway bar just pivots on the frame bushings and doesn't do much. It's when the left and right assemblies move independently that the sway bar is engaged, like when throwing the car into a corner. During a cornering situation, the outside suspension assembly is compressed up into the wheelwell while the outside assembly extends down. Since the bar is tied to the frame and to each control arm, the bar gets put into a twist and tries to equalize compression and extension in turns, thus keeping the car flat.
Armed with the basics of what a sway bar does, we are going to get into our testing. We had Super Chevy publisher Ed Zinke bring out his super-clean '64 Chevelle convertible as the test mule. The car features Global West suspension front and rear. It rolls on 15-inch Rally rims with P215/60R15 tires set at 33 psi at all corners. The car had a factory front sway bar and no rear bar.
We also invited suspension guru Doug Norrdin from Global West Performance and asked him to bring an assortment of sway bars for Ed's car, along with all that suspension knowledge stuck in his brain. Norrdin brought two different front bars and two different rear bars for comparison. To keep the driving consistent, we had our in-house West Coast hot shoe "Quick" Nick Licata pilot the car through the 420-foot slalom. Now that you know the parameters of our test, read on to see the results.

News Detail
Kent State College of Nursing Sponsors "Brave Miss World"Posted Apr. 2, 2013
BRAVE MISS WORLD is a film about Linor Abargil, an Israeli beauty queen, who was raped two months before being crowned Miss World in 1998. Ten years later, she's ready to talk about it – and to encourage others to speak out. Now a globe-trotting victims' advocate, Linor encourages people to stand against sexual violence by putting an end to their silence.
She travels to speak with teens in South Africa, where girls are statistically more likely to be raped than educated. She visits Princeton and UC Santa Barbara, where women describe a campus culture that fails to take assaults seriously.
From Cleveland's Rape Crisis Center to Hollywood's living rooms, Linor is met with emotional support. Yet when she attends a celebrity rape trial that hits too close to home, she suffers a breakdown. In searching for something to ease her pain, Linor turns to Orthodox Judaism.
For victims of sexual assault, the journey toward wholeness never ends; still, Linor Abargil, the BRAVE MISS WORLD, continues her unflinching efforts to keep the nightmares at bay. (In English and Hebrew and Italian with subtitles)
Kent State University nursing faculty have done extensive research in the areas of rape and relationship abuse. BRAVE MISS WORLD is an inspiring story and sheds light on how many victims never report rape. By speaking out, she encourages and empowers others through her travels as seen through this documentary.

The additional parts needed are gears, pins and beams. There's a new forum that discusses where to find parts.

The site FAQ refers to moderation tools, available to users who've earned more than 10,000 reputation:
What are these tools exactly?
First off, see: the Access to Moderator Tools privilege description.
It's mostly just lists. I just recently became a member of the +10k club. Allow me to enumerate all of the views available.
Each view is found in one of five categories: links, stats, close, delete and flags. There is also a tab for the same review view that is available to users who have yet to reach 10k. When you click on the tools option in the header, stats is the first category opened. It contains general lists:
The close category has views relating to questions that have been or are being closed or reopened:
The delete category has views relating to questions and answers that have been or are being deleted or undeleted:
The flags view shows posts flagged low quality, not an answer, or off-topic. There are 2 paragraphs of text describing what you should do, which is to look at the flags and decide if you need to add your own flag vote to the flagged post, close it, or dispute it.
Several pages contain a set of links to additional information in the footer:
For the stats, close and delete views, they are filtered by time span which is choosable by the user. The options are "30d", "14d", "7d", "2d" (default) and "today".
Users with 10k reputation can also:
These lists help us see where intervention might be needed: where edit wars are going on, where new tags with typos have been made, which questions are spam, etc. They don't really give us any new power other than to delete questions the rest of the community has already decided doesn't belong on the site.
In the top bar where you have the Logout, About, and FAQ options, there is another one added called Tools.
Basically the tools are just lists of items for different criteria.
Some examples:
Once you hit 10k, it is almost a bit of a disappointment because you expected more powerful tools, but they serve their purpose, I suppose.

Legendary Chef Julia Child introduced the whisk (or whip, as she called it) to Americans in the 1960's*. Until then, most of our mothers and bubbies used a fork... likely a dinner fork, to mix, combine and beat. But, as most everything dear Julia recommended, American cooks became fans of the whisk, and learned to use and appreciate this multi-tasking tool that can aerate, whip, beat, emulsify, deglaze, and mix.
However if you have recently shopped for a whisk, you have likely discovered that there is a huge assortment of shapes, sizes, designs and materials. The world of whisks has come a long way since Julia whipped it into our lives.
So let's become whisk savvy. KosherEye has worked (ok- played) in our kitchens with several whisks, provided to us by Rösle, a company, which offers a variety of stainless steel and/silicone whisks, crafted for an assortment of uses. But understanding which whisk was best for which task, was a learning experience, a fun one at that.
A bit about Rösle: Rösle makes a variety of excellent kitchen tools and cookware. These whisks are all made of durable 18/10 stainless steel, that won't react with foods, and are dishwasher safe. Some shapes are available with a silicone coating as well. And, they all have a lifetime guarantee.
From the Rösle whisk collection:
Balloon Whisk/Beater - The robust handle in combination with flexible, densely positioned wires; suggested for mixes of thick or semi-liquid consistency, especially for whipping cream and egg whites for meringues, soufflés and cake batters.. This whisk incorporates air and body into foods, and according to Gourmet.com is the whisk that Julia Child made famous. It is suggested for recipes that call for combining dry ingredients, like flour, salt, and baking powder or baking soda: It distributes and helps break up any large bits, often eliminating the need for sifting. Many say that if one can only have one whisk, this is the one.
Flat Silicone Whisk - The flat shape of this whisk is especially suitable for stirring small quantities, and is heat resistant up to 500°F. This whisk's loops are arranged in a flat pattern so that they cover the large surface of shallow fry pans or roasting pans—perfect for mixing roux's, pan sauces and gravies.
Jug Whisk - This whisk, similar to a balloon whisk but more slender, is ideal for whisking in narrow containers and glasses. Food and drinks can be quickly and easily stirred. Suitable mixing most liquids, including shakes and salad dressings.
Twirl Whisk - This flexible spiral shape moves up and down and facilitates airy beating of mixes, reaching the base and all corners of a narrow container. It is especially suitable for processing small quantities of liquids such as sauces, dressings and gravies.
If you are planning to buy only one whisk – which whisk should it be? The experts are mixed on this. Some suggest the balloon whisk; others the jug whisk, and some couldn't live without their egg whisks. Our thoughts: Think about why you need a whisk, and select the one that best suits that job. Most are very versatile. Or, of course, you can buy them all! Click on the whisk below to buy Rösle whisks:

*AND NOW... a treat for you dear readers. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and watch Julia cooking up a dairy cheese soufflé with her wire whip.

Benjamin D. Sommer joined the JTS faculty as professor of Bible in July 2008. Previously, he served as director of the Crown Family Center for Jewish Studies at Northwestern University, where he had taught since 1994. Dr. Sommer has been a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, at the Tikvah Center for Jewish Law and Civilization at the New York University School of Law, and at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem. He has served as a visiting faculty member at the Department of Bible of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and at the Brite Divinity School in Fort Worth, Texas. He has received fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies and the Yad Hanadiv/Berakha Foundation.
Dr. Sommer's research focuses on the history of Israelite religion, literary analysis of the Bible, and biblical theology. An overarching concern of his scholarship involves the close and manifold relationships between biblical thought and later Jewish theology or, to use the Hebrew phrasing, between Torah shebikhtav and Torah shebe'al peh.
Dr. Sommer's second book, The Bodies of God and the World of Ancient Israel (Cambridge University Press, 2009), received two major honors: the Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion (Textual Studies Category) from the American Academy of Religion, for the best book in religious studies focusing on textual analysis published in 2009; and the 2009 Jordan Schnitzer Award from the Association for Jewish Studies, for the best book published in the years 2006–2009 in biblical studies, rabbinics, or archaeology. The book addresses perceptions of divine embodiment in ancient Israel, Canaan, and Assyria, and how these perceptions reappear in later Jewish philosophy and mysticism. The AJS Prize Committee described Sommer's book as "an original, wide-ranging and accessible work of scholarship . . . a cross-cultural tour de force" and wrote that his "thesis has implications for understanding not only the theology of ancient Israel but also the theologies of its surrounding world, whether in Mesopotamia or the Levant, as well as those of rabbinic Judaism and Christianity." The AAR Prize Committee also used the phrase "tour de fource" to describe the book.
Dr. Sommer's first book, A Prophet Reads Scripture: Allusion in Isaiah 40–66 (Stanford University Press, 1998), was awarded the Salo Wittmayer Baron Prize by the American Academy of Jewish Research for best first book on ancient or medieval Judaism in 1998. Among other honors, he was the first recipient of the André Ungar Scholarship from Temple Emanuel in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey.
Dr. Sommer is the editor of the Psalms volumes of the Jewish Publication Society Bible Commentary series and is writing the first book of that five-volume set. He is also working on a book, Artifact or Scripture? The Jewish Bible Between History and Theology, which is under contract to Yale University Press in the Anchor Bible Reference Series. This book will examine whether the Bible, understood as the ancient Near Eastern document it is, can be relevant to modern Jewish thought.
Dr. Sommer serves on the editorial boards of Prooftexts: A Journal of Jewish Literary History, the Journal of Biblical Literature, and the Society for Biblical Literature's book series Ancient Israel and Its Literature. He has received fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies and the Yad Hanadiv / Beracha Foundation. Dr. Sommer has been a visiting faculty member at various institutions, including Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the Shalom Hartman Institute, the Spertus Institute, the Brite Divinity School at Texas Christian University, and the University of Chicago.
Dr. Sommer has long been active as a lecturer and scholar-in-residence, teaching rabbis, Jewish educators, and laypeople in a variety of settings in the United States and Israel.
Dr. Sommer grew up in Temple Emanuel in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, and attended JTS's Rebecca and Israel Ivry Prozdor High School from 1978 through 1982.
He and his wife, Jennifer Dugdale, have three children, who attend the S.A.R. High School in Riverdale, the Solomon Schechter School of Bergen County, and the Temple Emet Preschool in Bergen County.

Part 1 - About Prim-ost
Many years ago we received an anonymous request from one of our customers:
I found your website and I am wondering if you have a recipe for a Norwegian cheese my Grandmother used to make. My mother said it was called Prim-ost, a light beige in color and very sweet. She thinks it was made of milk with rennet? I would be very interested in the recipe.
Our response in the "Customers Looking for Recipes" section was as follows:
This response sat undisputed on our website for years until we recently received this note from Louise Kent in Denmark:
I am from Denmark and my grandmother was Norwegian. Prim-ost is a Norwegian cheese, as well as Myseost. But Myseost is a hard cheese and Prim-ost is a cream cheese. It is not the same.
Prim-ost is sweeter than Myseost. Myseost can be bought in different types. The mildest one is made from cream, the middle one is half cow milk and half goat milk, and the strongest one is all goat milk.
Just wanted to tell you because I'm a big enthusiast when it comes to this Norwegian specialty.
Part 2 - About Mysost
Mysost is a Norwegian cheese made from caramelized cow's milk whey, often the whey left over after making traditional curd cheese. When made with goat's whey, the cheese is called gjetost. They are unusual--not what you'd necessarily expect when someone tells you they are serving you cheese. Both cheeses are smooth, sweet, sour, salty, slightly brown--and deliciously different.
The recipe calls for only two ingredients. We purchased a couple of quarts of whey from our dairy farmer, combined it with a little cream, and put it on to heat. (If you prefer, you can make it with only whey, although your cheese will be slightly grainier.) You can certainly use your own whey--that made after draining yogurt to make yogurt cheese will even work. I don't think it is particularly easy to find commercial whey, however.
We brought the whey up to a full boil then turned down the heat a bit. After several hours (4 for us, but sometimes as much as 12 hours) at a gentle boil, the whey had reduced to a fudge-like consistency. After beating it severely, we cooled it in its pan over a bowl of iced water and poured it into a little buttered glass bowl.
Mellowing in the refrigerator for 24 hours helps the flavor of mysost. But I couldn't wait:
Part 3 - About Gjetost
Last summer I helped in the kitchen of a local retreat center when they were hosting a Sons of Norway Norwegian camp. It was there I tasted a goat cheese called Gjetost. There are different spellings as well as names for this cheese. The Norwegians place it on bread (just a very thin slice) along with raspberry jam, and it was delicious! I determined then and there I was going to learn how to make it.
The lady that introduced me to it stated that the process needed both goat and cow milk, but I have since discovered there are three cheeses that can be made: whey from just goat milk, a combination of goat and cow milk whey, and whey from only cow milk. Our goats are dry now, so I will use cow milk until our goats are milked again in the spring.
I found a recipe on the Fankhauser cheese website, but it seemed hard to follow. About a year ago I purchased Ricki Carroll's book, Home Cheese Making, and found the recipe in there. I had lots of questions after reading her recipe, but forged ahead and made a batch.
Mysost (another name is Primost) is the result of taking the whey byproduct from making cheese and slowly boiling it down to where it caramelizes and thickens. Cream is added towards the end of the process, but that's all there is to the ingredients. This whole process has taken me from 6 to 12 hours. I can see why it's recommended that a wood cookstove be used instead of a conventional stove top -- that's a lot of electricity!
The first time I made a batch the end result was grainy, but that has only happened one other time and I think I've cooked up 5 batches. Each batch has given us approximately 30 ounces out of about 7 quarts of whey. Jim, Peter and I enjoy it on toast for breakfast, along with our homemade raspberry jam. It's easy to make if you have the time to spend in the kitchen close to the stove.
Part 4 - More about Whey Cheeses
All this inspired us to do some further research about these cheeses:
Apparently, in 1863, a 17 year old home cheese maker in Norway had the idea of adding cream to whey, bringing it to a boil and reducing it into cheese. She created a brown cheese which everybody liked.
She was able to sell it and it is actually said to have saved her valley financially in the 1880's. When she was 87, in 1933, the King of Norway gave her a medal for her invention. To this day, 25% of the cheese consumed in Norway is Brunost (brown cheese).
Through the years, many variations of her cheese were developed, including:
Ski Queen brand Gjetost - Made from half cow's milk, half goat's milk. This is the mild form most of us have tried here in the U.S.
Prim - Made from cow's milk with sugar added. This is boiled for less time than all other kinds.
Ekte Gjetost (real Gjetost) - Made from goat's whey. This has a darker color and richer flavor than Ski Queen brand Gjetost.
Flotemysost - Made from cow's milk whey, enriched with cow's milk cream.
Gudbrandsdalsost - Made from both cow's and goat's milk (10 to 12 % goat's milk). This is the most popular form in Norway.
Mysost - Made from all cow's milk whey. In Norwegian, "myse" means "whey" and "ost" means "cheese."
In our book, Home Cheese Making, there is a recipe for Mysost (p.150) and a recipe for Gjetost (p.151). We think Prim-ost is made the same as Mysost, but boiled for less time so that it remains spreadable. If anyone has an actual recipe for Prim-ost, please share it with us. We do love our brown cheese!

Music Review: From yesterday, Peter Yarrow confronts todayBy Jim Lowe
Staff Writer | April 08,2013Saturdays reunion of Peter Yarrow and Robert De Cormier at Rutlands Paramount Theatre, was more a Happening than a concert and a particularly poignant and joyful one.
It was the Vermont Symphony Orchestra Choruss annual concert and De Cormier, its founding director, invited his old friend and colleague to join them in Songs of Freedom. Yarrow became friends with De Cormier when the renowned choral conductor was music director of Yarrows legendary folk trio, Peter, Paul and Mary.
Yarrow is one of those rare entertainers who can make an audience feel that everything is personal. He delivered what could be some very pointed political statements about racism, global warming, war and greed. But from Yarrow, it came across with gentle caring and the joy of sharing humanity.
Saturdays most poignant moment was a tossup between two songs with Yarrow and the VSO Chorus. Tender joy overcame the hall as Yarrow and the chorus shared Puff the Magic Dragon with half a dozen youngsters, including an infant in her fathers arms. He invited them all to come up on stage and he also pointed out that, contrary to rumors, the song is really about dragons and childhood fantasy.
Much tougher, but no less tender, was Dont Laugh at Me. Yarrows folk song that sees bullying from the victims point of view and takes it to its unfortunate end all delivered with gentle kindness.
Now in his 70s, Yarrow has a warm and expressive tenor voice that certainly puts colleague Bob Dylans to shame. The music, which Yarrow ably accompanied on guitar, is in traditional folk style, warm and engaging. Yarrow invited the most-willing audience to join in for Peter, Paul and Mary hits like Blowin in the Wind and If I Had a Hammer.
De Cormier and the fine VSO Chorus also performed some much more complex arrangements of traditional songs, from De Cormiers of Yankee Doodle to Aaron Coplands take on two folk songs, Zions Walls and the tender The Promise of Living, conducted by Dawn Willis, the VSO Choruss assistant conductor.
Burlington baritone Erik Brookes was the soloist, joining De Cormier and the VSO Chorus, in a number of songs celebrating the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation. In another of the concerts most poignant moments, Brookes, with simplicity, clarity and warmth, led them all in De Cormiers powerful arrangement of the Civil Rights anthem We Shall Overcome.
As Yarrow pointed out from the stage, it was as if Peter, Paul and Mary had been channeled to enjoy their new friends.

The USB port on the speaker is only capable of providing power and charging the battery. It cannot be used for audio input. For that one must use the audio jack or Bluetooth. So the answer to your question is no.

When God Has Other Plans
After 14 years as director of Campus Ministry, God called Father Rick Wilkinson, CSC, to a new role within Holy Cross this summer. Here are two homilies from his final summer at Our Lady Queen of Peace Chapel.
July 1, 2012
Father Rick announces his departure to the St. Edward's University community.
"Do not be afraid. Just have faith." These words of Jesus are sometimes the only thing we can hang on to. Fear and faith met this past week in rain-drenched Florida and scorched land from too many forest fires the count. Fear of the unknown and the uncontrollable forces of nature once again exposed our human vulnerability. Fire and water uncovered our false sense of security and reminded us that we are not as in control as much as we think we are.
"Be not afraid. Just have faith," has been my mantra these past 10 days. As many of you have heard, I will be leaving St. Edward's early in August. From June 11–21, the United States Province of Holy Cross Priests and Brothers had what we call a "chapter." The chapter was made up of 60 Holy Cross Priests and Brothers who were elected to represent more than 475 members here in the United States, East Africa, Chile, Peru and Mexico. The chapter is the highest authority of a province. One of its responsibilities is to select new leadership for the next six years. One of the first decisions of the new provincial superior was to ask me to be his vicar (which means vice provincial). I accepted. My primary responsibility is personnel issues. I started this new ministry of service to my brothers in Holy Cross at the close of the chapter — June 21 at 11:48 a.m., Pacific Time.
This was a difficult decision. I am honored by the trust placed in me, but the change also leaves me in fear and trembling. It is the sort of challenge that forces one to do his very best and then just have faith.
I have been here for 14 great years. I love Austin, and St. Edward's has won my heart. I had hoped to be here for a few more years, or at least until the chapel was renovated. God has other plans. I hope I have served you well, and you need to know that you have ministered to me in many, many ways.
These have been difficult and confusing years to be a Catholic — difficult for those of us on both sides of the altar. Like the woman in [today's] Gospel, both our beloved church, as well as our great nation, are hemorrhaging badly. The equality Paul spoke of does not reflect our reality in the church or in our nation. Those who have much, whether it be money or power (and they usually go together) have more, and those have little have less. Reaching out to the poor has somehow gotten buried by scandal, abuse of power and narcissistic entitlement.
The woman in the Gospel is a model of what our Church and nation desperately need. She had always lived with little and now had nothing. She had heard of Jesus' power to heal, his compassion for the outcast. Maybe she had heard of his sensitivity to women. Perhaps she had been told that he was not a stickler to the Judaic law, which would declare her unclean and impure. But she had to take that leap of faith and reach out for Jesus. And she did, with a touch of faith and the hope for healing. Jesus felt her touch and he realized his healing power was being shared.
There is a similar power of Jesus when we gather around the altar, just as the crowds gathered around Jesus. We come as believers. A few might come out of a sense of obligation; some come in desperation and some in gratitude. We all come with who we are. We all come to touch Jesus, to reach out and be healed and nurtured, strengthened by the very core of our faith: the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. In reaching out for Christ we are reminded that we, too — all of us — are the Body and Blood of Christ. In today's Gospel, Jesus not only breaks down the barrier of gender, but he also teaches us to never stop reaching out to God and one another.
Reaching out is often the best we can do. These Gospel stories teach us that no matter who we are or what condition our life is in, Jesus remains the great healer, the consoler who offers new life even when everyone else sees darkness and fear. This will be my ministry to my brothers in Holy Cross. Please pray that I grow in compassion and wisdom always ready to reach out to those in need.
Following the model of Jesus, we find that when we practice compassion to others, we not only lift up the fallen, but we lift up our own spirits. When we bring healing to the suffering, we find healing for our own brokenness. We not only restore dignity and hope to the dying, but we restore a sense of hope and purpose to our own lives. By our baptism, we are christened to be men and women with hope to bring, for in it is in our practice of compassion and healing of others that we find wholeness, compassion and healing ourselves.
And Jesus is there, always urging us, "Do not be afraid. Just have faith."
July 29, 2012
Father Rick gives his last homily at St. Edward's.
Earlier this month, I had a chance to spend a couple of days with my dad in New Hampshire. Saturday night he asked me if I wanted to go out to dinner or stay in and have lobster. I am not sure why he even asks that question anymore. My response was, as it always is, "Dad, that is a no brainer." By the way, my dad is doing great. He turned 89 on July 1. His project this summer was to scrape, sand and paint the garage. When I asked why he did not simply hire someone, he answered, "Then what would I have to do?"
But back to the lobster: The seafood market only had two-pounders. That's a lot of lobster meat but really not a problem if you are a Wilkinson. And you would never think of sharing them; no, each person has to have his own. Halfway through, though, we decided we had eaten enough. The leftovers would be lobster rolls the next day. Growing up, we always had leftovers in the refrigerator. My family even put in a second refrigerator in the garage. Leftovers can be either a feast, like the lobster, or rather unpleasant, like the pecan roll that nana would bring from Florida every spring that sat [in the fridge] as a reminder until we threw it out the next winter.
Did you realize that leftovers have a theological meaning? During my [recent] retreat, I reflected on the past 14 years here at St. Edward's. As I reflected on my transition and read the readings for today, I returned again and again to the words of gratitude and abundance. The leftovers in the readings are a sign of the abundance, which is to say there is more than enough. And if God provides the food, the meal becomes a sign of God's kingdom.
Abundance is part of our normal situation of life; we are used to leftover foods, too many clothes and, for me, too many books. Abundance may be normal for us, but it is extremely abnormal. Most of humanity throughout history has lived at a bare level of subsistence. There are still vast populations where there is rarely enough to eat, let alone to have leftovers. Food is scarce, and life is precarious. For many it has not changed much at all from the time of Jesus.
For this reason, food in abundance symbolized the gift of God. To have more than what was needed, to have extra, was a grace, a gift of overwhelming generosity. In my own life, I consider myself to be extremely graced by abundance — not so much of material things but by people like you who have both nurtured and challenged me to be a deeper man of faith and a grateful priest.
I once described my life as "ordinary with extraordinary moments." I have been extraordinarily blessed throughout my ministry to be a part of communities that have made me feel at home in the church. Maybe that is why I try to do the same with everyone who joins us at Eucharist. Being Church today is not easy for the thoughtful, prayerfully discerning and committed Christian. The lack of ease has nothing to do with one's theology and where one stands in relationship to Church teaching. It has everything to do with people who are made to feel like leftovers, rather than the main entrée of God's abundant kingdom.
Jesus is recognized in the act of feeding the crowd, and there is no mention of anyone being excluded. The Gospel says Jesus was testing Phillip, but Jesus fed the crowd because that is the only thing he could do. You feed the food-hungry with bread and you feed the God-hungry by making them part of God's kingdom, especially in the Eucharist.
I have been and always will be grateful for the community of faith here at St. Ed's for our welcoming presence at Eucharist. That is not always easy in a Church that has increasingly closed the windows that opened in Vatican II. I share your frustration with our Church that invests 25 years on liturgical reforms and even longer trying to cover-up its own moral lapses and abuse. You have been empowering at times to preach from the Gospel the respectful truth that sin pervades our Church, as much from an institutional disconnect and fracture as to the modernism that seems so threatening to the hierarchy. This community is a nurturing one in that when we gather for Eucharist on Sunday morning, we bring our desire for God to the altar and to one another. This Eucharistic community is challenging in that we dare stride into the difficult tensions of faith and reason, and even the mucky waters of faith and religion.
Many of you have been very affirming of my ministry and presence at St. Edward's. I would be remiss not to also recognize, affirm and express my gratitude for your ministry and presence in my life. I end with my prayer for you all. It is what I have to constantly remind myself of:
- Pray. In prayer be truthful, gently, with yourself and with God. Let God be truthful, gently, with you. Seek God in everything you find.
- Believe, even when it feels the fire of faith is going out. Like any relationship, faith takes hard work and lots of forgiveness and trust.
- Don't give up on the Church, please. For you dissenters out there, the Church needs you. Like any body, the Body of Christ is complex and sometimes ill.
- Trust. Believe in divine providence because at the end of the day, when we have done our best, we can only give it over to God.
- Practice humility because God is God and we — you and I — are not. Anyone who claims to know the will of God with certainty will be humbled by their own foolishness.
This has been a wonderful gig, and I am richer for having been a part of your lives. You have fed me well, and I have tasted the goodness of God in your witness to the Gospel. I leave with an abundance of blessings for having shared life and faith with you. I am grateful for your goodness, kindness, support and for many extraordinary graces you have given me, which I trust will give me strength and much needed faith in the times ahead.
