Marmite Chicken
I now realise that I love food that most people dislike, such as eggplant, bitter gourd, okra and ....marmite. But frankly speaking, these food win my heart because they have stronger flavours and really good to go with rice.
I follow pigpigs' recipe, without the chili flakes and sesame seeds. We love it a lot, can literally lick all the sauce. Now I left with the entire bottle of marmite looking for next recipe to use it again.
Courtesy from pigpigscorner:
700 g chicken pieces
1/3 cup water
1 tbs honey
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp Marmite
2 tbs Marmite
1 tbs honey
1 tbs light soy sauce
1 tbs Shaoxing wine
A dash white pepper powder
Mix chicken pieces and all ingredients for marinade together, leave to marinate for at least one hour or even better overnight in the fridge.
Heat up a bit of oil in a pan.
Add marinated chicken pieces, stir fry until lightly browned on all sides.
Add water, honey, dark soy sauce. Stir to mix. Leave to simmer until sauce thickened and very little sauce left.
Stir in 1 tsp or more Marmite to taste.
Season to taste.

Hey, I'm with you in this sense! I'm not a fussy eater. I love eggplant, bitter gourd, okra and Marmite/Vegemite!!! HAHA! So, Marmite chicken is definitely one of my favorite dishes of all time. Gotta make it someday, too, for sure! Not now lar ... My family is still in the midst of relocating. So, the new kitchen is rather messy. I haven't been cooking and baking for close to a month. Haiz ...
However, don't stuff petai into my mouth ... I detest the veggie though I know it's good for us. =P

Orlando Science Center's exhibit halls feature a vast array of exciting interactive experiences! Learning has never been so fun with these hands on educational exhibits. From down to earth explorations in natural science to the high-tech world of simulation technology, everywhere you look, you'll find educational and entertaining opportunities to explore, experiment, and discover.
Traveling Exhibits
The Orlando Science Center is home to some of the most exciting traveling exhibits in the country. When these exhibits are in town they are only here for a limited time, so don't miss the opportunity to see them!
Exhibit Halls
As great as our traveling exhibits are, there are some exhibits that are the staple of the Orlando Science Center. NatureWorks will have you up close and personal with some of nature's most fascinating reptiles. At DinoDigs, you'll step back into the prehistoric age. Discover the dynamic forces and systems that shape our Earth, as well as other planets in Our Planet, Our Universe. Explore such concepts as electricity and magnetism, lasers, soundwaves, and nature's forces in Science Park. No visit to the Science Center is complete without a trip to KidsTown, an interactive world dedicated to our smaller explorers.
Science Live! Programs
What's the difference between a great visit to a Science Center and a memorable visit? Live programs. Our exhibits are designed to inspire curiosity and exploration, our Science Live! programs are designed to bring the exhibits to life. Whether it's a show in the Digital Adventure Theater or a one-to-one interaction with a volunteer at the Crosby Observatory, our live programs create the kind of impact that can last a lifetime.
Science Stations
Looking for little more "hard science" in your next Science Center visit? Look no further than the Science Stations located throughout the facility. Science Stations are a cross between exhibits and live programs in that they're exhibits that typically include a live program to truly bring the experience to life. Science Stations provide an in-depth look at their respective subject matter in an entertaining way. Be sure to check your program schedule to see which Science Stations are conducting demonstrations on the day of your next visit.
Crosby Observatory
The aluminum-domed Crosby Observatory atop Orlando Science Center houses Florida's largest publicly accessible refractor telescope. This one-of-a-kind custom-built telescope, along with several smaller scopes, are available at selected times for solar and night sky viewing.

"An essential element in developing improved corrosion control and management practices throughout the national infrastructure is better education of the nation's engineers." - Committee of Assessing Corrosion Education of the National Research Council (2009).
The corrosion crisis in America is growing faster than we can fix it. Corrosion endangers our nation's safety and economy, causing broken infrastructure, oil leaks and even one-half of power outages. More than one-fourth of the bridges in the country are structurally deficient due to corrosion.

Q:I received a sample of Prince, and loved it. I do often suffer from ingrown hairs and some shaving irritation bumps, and Prince seems to be a pretty solid product for those issues. Keeping that in mind, how does Dirty compare?Asked on 5/14/2013 by Naomi-omi-omi from Isla Vista, CA
1 answer
A:Prince is our most luxurious shaving cream, and is made with fair trade cocoa butter instead of shea butter, which is a little bit lighter.

The Book of Exodus
The book of Exodus tells the tale of Israel's liberation and birth, and of the beginning of God's covenanted nation.
By Rabbi W. Gunther Plaut
We Also Recommend
Excerpted from The Torah: A Modern Commentary, with the permission of UAHC Press.
Exodus is the book which speaks of the physical and spiritual birth of Israel as a nation. It contains the stories of enslavement and liberation, of revelation and wanderings, of belief and apostasy; it is the repository of fundamental laws and of the rules governing national worship. It has two settings, Egypt and the wilderness of Sinai, and its timeframe is the latter part of the 13th century B.C.E.
A Continuation of Genesis
It is important to see the book as a continuation of Genesis, which we described earlier as a tale of beginnings and of God's disappointments (see "Introducing Genesis"). After many trials and disillusionments, God chooses a particular people whom in time to come He will make His allies and helpers. He selects Abraham and Sarah as the ancestors of this nation‑to‑be, and the rest of Genesis is the story of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their families who will be the physical and spiritual forebears of the peofople Israel.
During a severe famine Jacob and his children and grandchildren migrate to Egypt. They leave Canaan behind, the land which God had promised them as their permanent inheritance. Their fate will be now forged in a strange land, amidst a people who will turn from welcoming hosts into a nation of oppressors. It is at this point of change that the Book of Exodus begins it will tell of the fashioning of Israel, the people of God's choice, the nation that God needs.
History and Faith
The tales of Genesis were a mixture of myth, legend, distant memory, and search for origins, bound together by the strands of a central theological concept. With Exodus, the Pentateuch enters the realm of history, albeit not history in the modern sense. The latter describes events which are rooted exclusively in the human realm; the former depicts the will of God as the hinge on which human events must turn. In that sense, Exodus is history grounded in faith. Thus, the escape of the Israelites from Egypt may be said to represent history in the accepted, contemporary meaning [though many scholars questions whether even this much took place historically]; that this was brought about by divine interference, and was so experienced by Israel, gives the tale of liberation an additional faith dimension.

2 questions. First, I am looking closely at 6mm PPC brass for my 9x39 project. It has all the attributes I need in a case, and it will save me fire-forming the brass, which to me is too costly and time-consuming to justify. Thinking about it, my 9x39 could be described as a 9mm PPC due to the case design and heritage (based on Russian 7.62x39 cartridge). The PPC gives me greater powder capacity since it is wider at the shoulder. If this works, it will provide a relatively affordable source of brass for my project. I was looking at 6.5 Grendel brass but it is more expensive than the 6mm PPC I've found. It would be better because it is already .5 mm closer to 9mm, meaning less stretch on the mouth. I really don't think 6mm > 9mm will be an issue for me.
I have found a "case resizing die" but I don't understand it. Here it is:
Does this resize the case to be WIDER at the shoulder? Or does it resize the mouth from .311 to 6mm/243 size? The description implies it resizes the case, but I can't see that in my mind. Does it force a ram down the mouth to straight-wall the brass, then size the neck?
Can someone explain how I would go about sizing the tapered 7.62x39 cartridge to the straight-wall 6mm PPC size WITHOUT fire-forming the brass?
Second Question. 6mm PPC brass sources. I've found this source for $40/100 and I'm wondering if it may be found cheaper someplace else:
Any other sources?

The Design Review Board will hold both a work session and public hearing on Tuesday discussing, among other things, outside paint for the new Mellow Mushroom restaurant.
The work session will be held at 5:30 p.m. in room 204 in the Municipal building, located at 214 Park Ave., and the hearing will be held in chambers at 6:30 p.m.
Mellow Mushroom, which will open at the former location of the West Side Bowery at 151 Bee Lane in The Alley, is requesting approval from the Board for repair and painting of the brick veneer with a four-color choice.
"Mellow Mushroom did receive approval for everything they presented in the Board's last hearing, aside from the paint colors," Susan French, city planner, said.
During the last public hearing, the Board recommended approval and replacement of all storefront windows with aluminum frames and tinted glass, addition of the new painted aluminum awnings along Park Avenue, the removal of all canvas awnings, the construction of a new covered patio shelter which can be closed during inclement weather and the addition of a new, translucent resin-panel recessed entry structure with LED lighting.
In other business, the Board will look at demolition and new construction of a home located at 121 Chesterfield St. N.W. for St. John's United Methodist Church, review three tax incentive applications during the work session and applications from the Carriage House Inn during the public hearing.

Comments about 14 in. Electric Chain Saw (3/8 in. - 0.050 in.):
I, like many active 65 year olds, continue climbing the trees on my property, wearing arborist harness and using climbing ropes and devices. I cut some firewood each year from the dead wood I relieve my pin oaks of and other 'fall' bounty. I've used gas powered chain saws for nearly forty years; my favorite a Johnsred that served me well for nearly twenty years. I'm using this Makita as the second electric I've owned. The first came from a local BigLots and though clearly inferior in nearly every way, it too served to assist me in small ways for two seasons. The Makita is (by my account) a solidly-built tool that (so far) is serving me quite well as I move from trunk to tree limb to trunk 30-50 ft in the air. I've opted for a 12/3, 100 ft electric cord (heavy to lift but can easily be tied off on any stub with plenty of slack to reach as far as needed). Its 11 pounds are very well balanced and (with good cutting practices) any one-handed operation is subject to minimal kickback. The 14" bar and chain (for me) are also clear assets up in trees. Whether at limb or trunk I can more easily maneuver this saw in tight quarters than I could saws before now. If performance continues as it has begun, I can imagine this saw being an active part of my stewardship efforts for many seasons to come.

Comments about 14 in. Electric Chain Saw (3/8 in. - 0.050 in.):
Enjoyed using this chain saw, and even with slightly awkward weight distribution of the unit, felt in total control. It cut thru everything very easily and with more power than I expected.
The only small hitch was ensuring the direction of the chain was correct, as the manual was not overly clear and the picture didn't portray the chain teeth very well.
BUT, VERY happy with the performance so far, and no need for a gas one now....
Best Uses
Comments about 14 in. Electric Chain Saw (3/8 in. - 0.050 in.):
Bought this saw for residential demolition of timber framed structures, this saw is faster than a saws-all, but don't hit any nails...good power and reasonable weight to power. The spare parts list regarding the chain is inadequate, however I was able to find at [@] using an Oregon chain cross reference guide.
Best Uses
Comments about 14 in. Electric Chain Saw (3/8 in. - 0.050 in.):
I bought this saw so I could cut up logs for turning anytime without upsetting the neighbors by running my Stihl gas chain saw. I expected a lighter and smaller saw. This is a serious saw that cuts nearly as well as my Stihl saw but it also weighs about as much and is nearly as large. If you want a very light saw this is not you saw.
I had a problem with the automatic chain oiler right out of the box. I had to completely disassemble the saw to get it working. Turned out the oil feed tube was kinked, apparently not assembled correctly.

A North Augusta woman was arrested and charged late Thursday night with armed robbery after police say she held up an Augusta Rite Aid store.
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office said Angelica Monique Rouse, 20, of 28 Castelina Drive, approached the assistant manager in a front office as the store was closing around 11:50 p.m. Police say Rouse, armed with a knife, demanded and received an undisclosed amount of money and exited the store.
Deputies responding to the incident were able to apprehend Rouse and one of her alleged accomplices, Nicholas Cordell Mason, 19, of Central Avenue in Augusta. Police say the two were apprehended on the 500 block of Chafee Ave., located directly behind the Rite-Aid.
Police say they then learned of a third accomplice, De'Michaels Glover, 20, of Shadow Ridge Drive in Augusta. Police said Glover is an employee of the store, was working at the time of the incident, and had conspired to commit the robbery.
All three suspects were arrested and booked into the Richmond County Jail, each on the charge of armed robbery.

Technical report Frank / Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität, Fachbereich Informatik und Mathematik, Institut für Informatik
- 7
- A partial rehabilitation of side-effecting I/O : non-determinism in non-strict functional languages (1996)
- We investigate the extension of non-strict functional languages like Haskell or Clean by a non-deterministic interaction with the external world. Using call-by-need and a natural semantics which describes the reduction of graphs, this can be done such that the Church-Rosser Theorems 1 and 2 hold. Our operational semantics is a base to recognise which particular equivalencies are preserved by program transformations. The amount of sequentialisation may be smaller than that enforced by other approaches and the programming style is closer to the common one of side-effecting programming. However, not all program transformations used by an optimising compiler for Haskell remain correct in all contexts. Our result can be interpreted as a possibility to extend current I/O-mechanism by non-deterministic deterministic memoryless function calls. For example, this permits a call to a random number generator. Adding memoryless function calls to monadic I/O is possible and has a potential to extend the Haskell I/O-system.

A water main break on Woodside Plantation Drive left approximately 30 residences without water, and a boil advisory is in effect for the impacted area, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety. It is recommended that residents boil their water for 24 hours after the restoration of service.
The area affected by the water main break includes Hemlock Drive and Hemlock Court from Woodside Plantation Drive to Dewberry Lane. A utility crew is on the scene working to restore service.

John and Joanne Dworsky raised a son and are expecting their first grandchild, but they continue to open their hearts and home to children through KidsPeace's foster care program.
Since the Lehighton area couple became foster parents in 1997, they have had six long-term placements and a handful of respite cases. Three children got adopted from their care, and many still keep in touch. Joanne said she always wanted to be a foster mom, but when she broached the subject with her son when he was growing up, he wasn't receptive to the idea.
Once he was in graduate school, the Dworskys took in their first child. Since they had one child of their own, they've found they do well with longer-term placements of one child at a time. But they have accepted some respite cases, where children stay for up to about a month to give other foster families a break. Though they have traditionally taken in teenagers, Joanne laughed when she recalled the time they got two 2-year-olds for a couple of weeks and she and John scrambled to keep up with them.
They have seen children from a variety of backgrounds – some have been abused, others have parents in jail, many have never been taught basic hygiene or study skills. But there is one thing the Dworskys have found all children need – structure.
John said many of the children were told for years that they were stupid or would never amount to anything, so he and his wife make it their mission to encourage each child to live up to his or her true potential.
"You can be anything you want to be as long as you're willing to work at it," he tells them.
While the children are in their care, the Dworskys make them feel like a part of the family. This may take the form of interacting with their teachers, taking them on outdoor adventures, doling out chores or making sure they have proper clothing.
"Most of them come with a plastic bag full of stuff, and half of it doesn't fit," John said. "They don't have much of their own identity."
Joanne has found that every child, no matter the age or gender, loves helping her in the kitchen.
"I think they just like anything that's one-on-one," she said. "When they think they're doing something good, they just light up."
John says the toughest part is often dealing with biological parents who don't show up for arranged visits. Joanne acknowledges it can also be difficult to remember the children are with them on a temporary basis. She makes sure to never show her emotions when it's time for a child to leave them.
"The whole idea for us was to treat them the way we treat our own child. So when you bring them in, they deserve everything you can give them," she said. "The most meaningful thing I get out of it is that when the kids leave here, they've experienced a happy, safe home and they see they deserve it. I've planted a seed and somewhere down the road, they'll see that."
Right now, the Dworksys are serving as foster grandparents once a month for a 13-year-old girl whose grandparents live on the West Coast. Both laud their KidsPeace caseworkers and say they'll continue taking in foster children as long as they're able.
"For me, foster parenting has just given me a lot of joy," Joanne said.

It's rather high-waisted. When you put it on the hips it will go up anyway, but the length is perfect (for person who is 5'8 like me). Generally, I'm satisfied with this skirt.

Small business is big business in West Virginia. As we prepare for the biggest shopping season of the year, I encourage you to support your local businesses by shopping small on Saturday, Nov. 24. Set between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday is an opportunity for you to invest your hard earned dollars back into your hometown and to promote the importance of small businesses in your community.
In West Virginia, more than ninety-six percent of our state's employers are small businesses-contributing to the strength of our local economies. Behind each of our small businesses is an entrepreneur with a dream. Many of these men and women turned their dream into a reality with assistance from the West Virginia Small Business Development Center. Today, these entrepreneurs work alongside their dedicated employees to offer customers from near and far unique products and personalized service.
The dedication of Main Street West Virginia to revitalizing our historic commercial districts helps preserve our past while helping today's businesses contribute to the unique character of our hometowns. Main Street Morgantown will mark its second year celebrating Small Business Saturday with unique local shops and special attractions, including free photos with Santa, musicians and drawings for prizes. Main Street West Virginia and the Small Business Development Center know the value of homegrown businesses, and that's why they, too are supporting Small Business Saturday.
As you give thanks this holiday season, I encourage you to keep in mind your local West Virginia small businesses. After all, what you spend in your town stays in your town-strengthening your community and helping ensure a brighter future for your hometown and all of West Virginia.

Whether it's for the deal or just the thrill, shoppers turned out in droves for Black Friday — some earlier than others.
Rob Fagan, along with his wife Paige and mom and dad, Linda and Robert Fagan, all of Crestview, lined up in front of Best Buy in Destin at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday — almost 38 hours before the doors were to open at midnight Thursday.
"I'm here for the 55 inch high def 3D TV," Rob said. "It's a 1,000 dollars off."
This wasn't Fagan's first time to stand in line for Black Friday.
"I've done it seven years in a row, but this is my first time to be first in line," he said.
Besides the TV he was looking to take home a 27-inch computer monitor and maybe a tablet or laptop.
The Fagan family was in line almost 12 hours before they were joined by anyone else. And at 6 o'clock Thursday evening, there were only six people in line. But by 10 p.m. the line was wrapped all the way down the front of Pet Smart, Office Depot and Thomasville Furniture and down the side.
"We came to keep each other company," Rob's mom said.
His dad, Robert, said they had done the Black Friday standing in line thing a couple of times, "but hope this is the last."
Although they were in line when most folks were sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner with their families, they didn't miss out on the meal.
"We had Thanksgiving dinner brought in from Niceville … we just tailgated," Rob said.
When it's all said and done, however, Rob said, "I'm looking forward to watching football and the University of Miami win."
The Gainer girls of Crestview got to Best Buy about 4 p.m. Thursday and were looking to snag a laptop and TV.
"This is our first time," Rachel Gainer said. "We're espresso coffee-ed up and ready to go.
Joining Rachel, Brittany and Angela Gainer was their friend, Louis Hernandez.
"I figured I might as well try it out one time," Louis said. "It may be the first and last time."
As for the Houston family of Destin, who were way back in the line, they were not losing heart.
"I've done this the last five or six years," said Melissa Houston, who was joined by daughters Delancey and Rylee and husband Lance.
"It just kind of gets you in the spirit," of the holidays, Melissa said. "It gets you ready," Delancey chimmed in.
"It's like going to a ball game kind of fun," Lance said.
For Daniel Roman and Nathan Cook of Destin it was their first time to venture out on Black Friday eve.
"This is our first camp out," Roman said.
Cook was looking to get a TV, laptop or I-pad.
"I want to have a huge TV for football and basketball." And by 11:15 p.m. he had his voucher for a 65-inch TV.
Haesol Jung drove all the way from Troy, Ala., for a chance at a television.
"This is my second time to do this," Jung said. "It's a lot of fun and you get a chance to buy something for a really good price."
Tracy Dibenedetto of Destin says she spends weeks planning out her shopping spree for Black Friday.
"I even have a back-up plan for things that don't work out," she said. "I got here at 9 p.m., which seems like it was about five hours too late."
Nevertheless, she was in it for the 50-inch Toshiba television.
Across the street at Bass Pro Shops, where the doors were not to open until 5 a.m. on Friday, Ken Mitchell of Ponce de Leon claimed his spot in line at 7:30 Thursday evening.
"I'm always afraid they'll run out of stuff," Mitchell said, bundled up his lawn chair.
He was looking to buy a shotgun and maybe some clothes.
"I've always avoided this … I used to be smarter than this," Mitchell said.
Joining him in line was Trevor Herman of Pennsylvania who was here visiting family.
"I'm here for the smoker," he said, noting it was about half price.
"I don't get the thrill … I'm here for the deal," Herman said.

A baby carrier is an important purchase, since the safety of your baby depends upon it wherever you go. They are also super convenient for new parents who are trying to adjust to their new life and schedule with an infant. Babies love carriers because it allows them to snuggle up close to mom or dad, while parents are still able to get chores done around the house and run errands wherever they need to go. Arms quickly grow sore from toting around a little one, and carriers help you to give your tired muscles a break.
Baby carriers originated with a front-loading version that is both classic and extremely popular today. In these carriers, baby can face either inward or outward toward an adoring public just waiting to say hello. This style is especially popular with new dads, as it is simple and convenient. They can usually hold babies up to 25 pounds, and are manufactured by a variety of brands. Baby Bjorn has long been known for its great front carrying potential, and many parents swear by their products.
The backpack carrier is a newer idea, and is perfect for parents who love the great outdoors. Durable and able to withstand the elements, these baby carriers usually feature a metal frame, a shade or canopy, and plenty of padding to keep your baby comfy during picnics and hikes. While these usually aren't ideal for newborns, babies can use them up to 40 pounds. Want something both stylish and organic? Try the ERGO Baby Organic .
One of the newest and trendiest type of carrier is found in the form of sling baby carriers. Moms especially love these as they easily hold baby while breastfeeding away from home, as well as providing that special closeness continuously by allowing infants to snuggle close. Boppy Carry In Comfort Dual Support Sling is a great choice in the sling line, as it equally distributes baby's weight and can even support newborns. With special zippered pockets, you can stash small items such as pacifiers and burp rags while your little one goes along for a ride. Parents will love the bonding moments that come out of this close fitting sling, and babies will feel safe and sound.
No matter what type of baby carrier you buy, check to make sure it is machine washable and able to fit into either your diaper bag or some other storage space. The best baby carriers are the ones that make your life more convenient - not more of a hassle.

Spanish immersion school to open this fallWritten by Danielle Stanton | | firstname.lastname@example.com
When they were young, speaking Spanish outside the home was akin to speaking a dirty word. Robert Torres, the executive director of the Northwest Ohio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, grew up one of 13 children in Swanton: "All I knew was Spanish. It was sink or swim," he said. His brothers couldn't pick up English and struggled. All of them learned to hide their culture and to feel ashamed of their heritage.

The discouragement they felt in the 1960s and 1970s is changing as today's second- and third-generation Spanish speakers experience a resurgence in Latino pride. That new sense of self-worth can't be more evident than in the new Spanish immersion school set to open this fall at 1850 Airport Hwy. in South Toledo.
Toledo SMART Elementary School (TSES) for grades K-2 is a bilingual-multicultural Spanish-Latino charter school, serving families in South and East Toledo. A charter school is an independently operated school funded with taxpayer money. Students at TSES will have a full day of school and buses will drop them off at their doorstep.
Bilingual teachers have been recruited from a qualified pool across the city and nationwide, Torres said. They will teach a core curriculum of math, science, reading and language arts, including extracurricular activities. The school will begin with K-2 and then add grades in the coming years, Torres said.
The desire for such an immersion school goes back about 10 years. And local demographics show the need is there. Thirteen percent of Toledo's population is Hispanic and children make up 25 percent of that number, Torres said.
"The community has been talking about doing a Spanish immersion school for a very long time. It's usually talked about then tabled, talked about and tabled. There's always members who have tried to keep it going," said Linda Alvarado, executive director of the City of Toledo's Board of Community Relations.
Alvarado has studied and researched Latinos in education for several years. Her findings are startling.
Though she did not have statistics, Alvarado has found that Hispanics have the lowest graduation rates and the lowest completion rate for bachelor's degrees. Researchers have found a definite gap in achievement levels.
"We can't get them through the pipeline," she said.
Her diagnosis begins with the womb, Alvarado said. Many Hispanics lack prenatal care and then children are often not put into preschool. When they do reach school, the fact that they come from a Spanish-speaking home becomes a hindrance. Parents, because they don't speak English, are less likely to get involved in their child's education.
This can cause Hispanic children to downplay their heritage. TSES school administrator Maria Gonzalez, a native Spanish speaker, said that to this day her grandchildren will only speak Spanish with her and to no one else.
Despite the lingering shame, Torres and Gonzalez stressed the advantages of being bilingual. The biggest advantage is in the business world where many companies are recruiting bilingual workers. They said if you strengthen your Spanish skills, your English skills will sharpen as well. That goes for all subjects, Gonzalez said.
"They told me (30 years ago) not to speak Spanish at home," Gonzalez recalled. "They were ignorant. [At TSES] the kids can feel comfortable talking to staff members."
Torres and Gonzalez hope the school will be a welcome mat for immigrants coming from Spanish-speaking countries.
"We're creating an example of how to invite immigrants," Torres said.
America was founded and built by immigrants, Gonzalez said.
If you turn on the TV or listen to the radio, Hispanics are represented today in great numbers, they said. Communities celebrate holidays like Cinco de Mayo and the Hispanic presence is felt.
Gonzalez has been visiting Hispanic families around Toledo to recruit their children to TSES for the fall opening. She has been building trust, she said. The parents have a lot of pride and are excited about the new school.
The goal of TSES is to "improve the education outcome of Latino students," Torres said. In 2010, the Hispanic dropout rate in Toledo was close to Cleveland's — about 70 percent. It's that statistic that organizers are hoping will improve when students are immersed at a young age.
Torres used existing immersion schools in Dayton and Columbus as his guide in structuring the new school, but called it a "community-wide" effort.
"We don't want others to go through what Robert went through and what I went through," Gonzalez said. "We are not part of the problem; we are part of the solution."
Maria Rodriguez-Winter, the interim executive director of the Sofia Quintero Art and Cultural Center in South Toledo, was amazed when she traveled to visit her husband's family in Switzerland and Germany where everyone spoke English and family members spoke three to four languages.
And when she travels to Mexico, she visits with friends who speak Italian, French and English.
We live in a multicultural, multi-lingual world, she said, and the United States is sometimes viewed as "parochial" in that we don't speak more than one language. She sees the new immersion school as a step in the right direction.
"It's a fabulous program. I am a strong believer in teaching our kids more than one language," she said. "The younger they start the quicker they learn and the more they retain. The more they are able to communicate outside this country from a social and political and business perspective [the better]. It is our responsibilities as parents and community leaders to educate our children the best way we can, so I think it's a positive step in Toledo. And for our population to think that English is the only language that can be spoken is a very parochial way of thinking."
Guisselle Mendoza, executive director of Adelante, a Latino community resource center, knows firsthand the challenges of being a Spanish-speaking person in an English-speaking culture. She was an immigrant from Nicaragua and had to learn English in the United States. She lived in Miami for a time and then moved to Toledo.
She agreed the community needs a school like TSES that can break down the barriers for Hispanics. She said often at public schools, if an event or a parent-teacher conference is scheduled, the notice is sent to parents in English. She believes the new charter school will help bust those barriers.
"My position as executive director of Adelante is to serve our community and our community needs a school where our needs are met in regards to language barrier and transportation," Mendoza said. "Unfortunately, our clients have not received certain services in the private and public [sector] and even charter schools. This charter school, I think it's their goal to serve the needs [of Spanish-speaking persons]."
Two new Spanish immersion Head Start programs will begin in the fall that cater to preschool-age children.
Brightside Academy on Lagrange Street is currently working with TSES, Torres said. The Spanish program at Brightside will serve children from birth to age 4 and will act as a precursor to children entering TSES, he said.
Toledo Public Schools (TPS) will also open a Head Start classroom with a bilingual teacher dedicated to 4- and 5-year-olds who are Spanish-speaking. As at TSES, the classroom is also open to English-speaking learners.
Rumors that TPS will open an entire school this fall dedicated to Spanish immersion are false, said Jim Gault, executive transformational leader and director of curriculum for TPS. However, the district is looking into creating a Spanish immersion program by the 2015-16 school year, he said.
"We believe there's a need. We know there's a need in Head Start; as far as district-wide and covering an entire school, we don't have the answer for that yet," Gault said. "We're going to look at the feasibility of having a program. … We're not going to rush into this. We're going to do it right. We're going to make sure, if we do this, it's quality."

Audrina Patridge: The Hills' Producers Want to Bring the Show Back! But Would She Return?
Is everyone ready to head for the hills again?
The Hills star Audrina Patridge told Ryan Seacrest's radio show that The Hills creator Adam DiVello, along with other producers, have been reaching out to her about possibly filming new episodes of the MTV reality show.
"I talked to Adam a few months ago, and I ran into one of the other producers at The Grove [in L.A] right before Christmas, and they did talk to me a little bit about it, how they'd love to do it," she explains.
"I just asked them, 'How would that work?' Because now everyone has such different lives and such different things going on."
So would Audrina be willing to sign up, if and when the new version of the series came together?
"It would be fun to do but I don't know how it would work," the former Dancing with the Stars contestant says. "The producers would really have to come up with something."
But would this really happen? We all know that Spencer and Heidi would presumably return at the drop of a hat, and Lo, Whitney, and Stephanie would probably be game as well. But it doesn't seem like Lauren would want to return to reality TV anytime soon, and we're also unsure if Kristen Cavallari would want to either, now that she's a mom.
As for now, we're just going to hope that the rest is still unwritten.

The COC Ensemble Studio — founded in 1980 with a generous continuing grant from Imperial Oil Limited and with assistance from the Government of Canada — is Canada's premier training program for young opera professionals.
It provides advanced instruction, hands-on experience, and the practical career development skills necessary to succeed as a self-employed artist in a highly competitive international environment.
The Ensemble is chosen through a national audition process. Members of the Ensemble Studio receive a blend of advanced study and practical experience. In this one-to-three-year program, singers receive vocal, theatrical and practical career development instruction.
Their practical experience includes understudying major roles, the annual Glencore Ensemble School tour, special Ensemble Studio chamber productions and a special Ensemble Studio performance of a COC mainstage production as well as roles in COC mainstage productions.
Apprentice stage directors, conductors and vocal coaches participate in the preparation of the company's mainstage productions, as well as School Tour performances and Ensemble Studio productions.
On November 25, 2014, the Canadian Opera Company's fundraising gala Centre Stage takes place at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, featuring the competitive vocal showcase of the COC's Ensemble Studio Competition. The Ensemble Studio Competition features singers from the final round of auditions for the COC Ensemble Studio, Canada's premier training program for young opera professionals, competing for cash prizes ranging in value from $1,500 – $5,000.
Competing before a public audience, finalists in the Ensemble Studio Competition perform from the mainstage of the Four Seasons Centre, accompanied by the internationally acclaimed COC Orchestra conducted by COC Music Director Johannes Debus.
The competition was launched in 2011 by COC General Director Alexander Neef to showcase the opera talent the COC had scouted from across the country and create a public platform for celebrating the future of opera in Canada. For more information about the finalists and winners of Centre Stage, please visit our competition page.
Since its inception, more than 180 young Canadian singers, opera coaches, stage directors and conductors have acquired their first professional operatic experience through this program.
Graduates include such well known singers as Isabel Bayrakdarian, John Fanning, Robert Gleadow, Ben Heppner, Joseph Kaiser, Allyson McHardy, Jessica Muirhead, Wendy Neilsen, Gidon Saks and Krisztina Szabó.
Successful stage directors include Brian Deedrick, Tom Diamond, Roman Hurko and Maer Powell.
At the inaugural Centre Stage Ensemble Studio Competition in 2013, three singers – Karine Boucher, Jean-Philippe Fortier-Lazure and Iain MacNeil – were selected out of the finalists to join the 2014/2015 Ensemble Studio. They will be joined by pianist Jennifer Szeto.
The Ensemble Studio program is designed to serve as a bridge between academic programs and the professional world of opera. Applicants must display exceptional talent, have extensive operatic training and a thorough musical education.
Auditions take place every fall in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and New York. The final stage of the audition process is the Ensemble Studio Competition on November 25, 2014.
For more information contact the COC's Ensemble Studio Administrator at 416-363-6671 or send an e-mail.

As Ashe County's aging population continues to rise, new services (like 2-1-1) have fulfilled a set of five-year goals established in 2008 to serve senior citizens in the area.
"Our aging population continues to grow, and the need for services becomes greater and greater," said Patricia Calloway, the executive director of Ashe Services for Aging (ASFA).
To guarantee Ashe County is equipped with the necessary services for the area's aging population, the Ashe County Aging Leadership Planning Team was formed. The team included public officials, service providers, the medical community and older adults.
In 2008, the team compiled a report for the county called the "Ashe County Aging Plan," which highlighted several county needs.
Using a methodology including surveys, community meetings, focus groups and interviews, the Aging Leadership Planning Team identified 10 initiatives for Ashe County.
Rather than focus on all 10 initiatives, four were selected for immediate action from 2008-2013. They included: information and assistance, assistance for caregivers, transportation, and housing. These four initiatives were selected because they address urgent/critical needs, and are doable.
The information and assistance initiative was recently fulfilled with the establishment of the 2-1-1 service, a universal telephone number for human and social services.
The goal of this initiative was to make sure community members know what services and programs are available and understand how to access them in order to live an independent lifestyle.
Focus groups and surveys from 2008 revealed that many people do not know about available services or how to access them. The 2-1-1 service is a one-stop-shop for information about local services.
Another initiative accomplished by the Aging Leadership Planning Team was for Ashe County's family caregivers to have access to a wide range of supportive services.
According to the N.C. Division of Aging and Adult Services in 2008, at least 80 percent of the long-term care for older adults is provided by family caregivers. Some 1.7 million adults in North Carolina are caring for an older disabled person; more than 28 percent of the population.
The High Country Family Caregiver Foundation offers training and information to family caregivers in the High Country, and those services have been expanded to Ashe County through the Ashe Expansion Committee.
Also, a support group for family caregivers is being offered at Forest Ridge Assisted Living, and another support group is planned for ASFA, according to Calloway.
In addition, special BBQ lunches for caregivers are planned for July 18 at Riverview Community Center and July 31 at ASFA. These "family caregiver appreciation lunches" welcome any caregivers in Ashe County.
"Events like that are examples of ways we try to help family caregivers in Ashe County," said Calloway.
Another important initiative from the Ashe County Aging Plan was accessible transportation to improve mobility, employment opportunities, and access to needed services for all persons without transportation.
Information gathered in 2008 revealed that affordable and accessible transportation was one of the top concerns expressed by community members, especially those living in outlying areas of Ashe County.
"Lack of transportation during evening and weekend hours was notable. The cost of out-of-county transportation is a barrier at times to receiving medical services," read the Ashe County Aging Plan.
"We do work with the transportation authority," said Calloway. According to her, ASFA provides shuttle tickets for several Ashe residents.
Also, ASFA provides transportation through their own services, like the adult daycare service. ASFA also provide home delivered meals and home aid services to assist seniors without access to transportation.
Affordable housing was the final initiative highlighted in the aging plan.
The goal set in 2008 was for Ashe County residents to have information and access to quality, affordable housing regardless of income. Also, that residents have access to housing programs to assist with needed repairs and maintenance for low income and moderate income residents.
"With current housing and land costs, many residents cannot afford housing or do not have information or access needed to become homeowners or renters," read the aging plan.
"We haven't made a lot of progress as far as housing is concerned," said Calloway.
"When this was developed (the aging plan), we were at the height of the market," said Calloway. However, she said prices in the housing market have decreased over the last five years, making housing more affordable.
Aside from setting goals, the Ashe County Aging Plan also calculated how much the county's population will age over the next 17 years.
The research compiled in 2008 indicates the following:
-As of 2008, 46 percent of Ashe County's population is over the age of 45.
-As of 2008, 24 percent of the population is over the age of 60.
-By 2020, Ashe County is expected to rise to fifth in North Carolina in percentage of persons over 65 years of age.
-By 2020, 29.5 percent of our population will be over the age of 66.
-The over-85 population is Ashe County's fastest growing segment. "Its growth is particularly important for anticipating health care and assistance needs," read the aging plan.
