The 5 months baby diet comprises mainly of breast or formula milk. A baby of 5 months of age requires about 12 – 36 ounces of milk each day, either breast milk or formula milk. Mothers who breastfeed their babies may find it difficult to monitor the daily milk consumption. Adhering to a feeding schedule helps in this regard as it allows you to be sure that your baby is meeting her daily food requirements. Feeding schedules may be adjusted depending upon each baby's individual cues and needs. A typical 5 months baby food schedule begins with feeding the child 4 – 6 ounces of milk in the morning when she wakes up. At this age, babies usually nurse for 5 – 10 minutes on each breast. Then you can feed her during the rest of the day when she seems hungry. Babies tend to display hunger by sucking on their hands, crying, fussing or sticking out their tongues. Feedings can continue until a minimum of 12 – 36 ounces of milk have been consumed. Babies of this age tend to feed every 4 – 6 hours. You can also feed iron fortified cereal a couple of times a day. Dry cereal may also be combined with breast milk. However you need to check with your doctor before you start your baby on cereal. Around the age of 5 months, most doctors start advising parents on how to introduce solid foods into the baby's diet. At 5 months baby food should still consist of primarily breast milk or formula milk, but this is the right time to think about introducing small changes in the diet. There are certain signs which indicate that a baby is ready to start on solid foods. For example, the ability to hold the head up properly, development of the tongue-thrust reflex which helps to prevent choking, coordination of the lower lip and maturation of the digestive system. 5 months baby solid food may include fruits such as banana, pear, apple and vegetables such as carrots and sweet potatoes. Foods such as banana or avocado do not have to be cooked as they are soft enough to eat raw. But other foods such as apple and carrots must be cooked until soft at least till your baby is 6 months of age. It is advisable to feed peeled fruits and vegetables until your baby's digestive system is more mature.

Dolphins weekend roundup
In case you've been under a rock somewhere, or simply decided to have a life this weekend, here's a quick rundown of what happened this weekend in Dolphins-land at the rookie minicamp.
Bill Parcells was hovering around practice from start to finish. He watched everything, from the punt returners to the wedge busters. After Saturday's afternoon practice Parcells stood by the exit where players were coming off the field and occasionally said something to get certain players attention.
Jayson Foster was the only player who sought him out and Parcells spent nearly 10 minutes giving the converted quarterback tips on how to field punts.
I've discovered Parcells has a way of saying one-liners to players as he passes them that has a way of either punching them in the gut, or pushing their buttons. He certainly keeps people on their toes.
Check out this quick exchange he had with mystery cornerback Will Billingsley to see what I'm talking about.
Jake Long is super large, and in charge. He's extremely lean, and long, and impressed me with his quick feet. Coach Tony Sparano encouraged Long to buddy up to Jason Taylor and Vonnie Holliday with the hopes that those veteran pass rushers will school him a little, in a friendly way. I'm pleased to see that Holliday's gaining a little respect these days after he was initially forgotten about by his head coach.
By the way, Sparano called out the rookies for their lack of conditioning, and says he believes the icy nature of the relationship between Taylor and the Trifecta has been overblown. I believe Sparano's playing good cop to Parcells' bad cop.
Quarterback Chad Henne is extremely loud, has a strong arm that zips the 15-yard out, but he tapered off during the weekend and had a bad practice on Sunday. At one point he had to run a lap around the field after messing up the snap count.
Sparano said it'll be a true "quarterback competition" when training camp opens, and stressed the Trifecta couldn't care less who wins the job as long as someone rises to the occasion.
BYU linebacker Kelly Poppinga was there all weekend, but I didn't notice him once, which isn't a good thing. The linebackers that did stand out were Titus Brown, who is signed, and Keith Saunders, who isn't. Saunders spent a portion of last season on the Patriots practice squad and gave the offensive tackles a little trouble rushing from the outside.
Sticking with defense, second round pick Phillip Merling said he wasn't bothered by his sports hernia, but I think he's not being totally honest. I know the difference between a cool dude strut and someone bothered by a strained groin. Merling was sparingly worked into drills most of the weekend. At one point Merling spent 10 minutes during a position drill on Sunday swinging his right leg back and forth, side to side, trying to stretch out the groin. I had a hernia back in 2006 and it's a B, so he needs to take his time coming back before he suffers a setback.
Fellow defensive lineman Kendall Langford has a quick first step, and showed some punch at the point of attack. But I'm puzzled why I noticed rookie free agent signee Kory Robertson, a Virginia Tech standout, a bit more than him. Maybe it's because Langford was typically going against Long. I'll let it ride for now. Sun-Sentinel columnist Ethan Skolnick points out that the Dolphins need to start hitting on second day picks if this franchise is going to start turning it around. I agree. It's really amazing how BADLY they've missed on guys over the past decade.
The Dolphins brought a Mexican kicker into camp for a tryout, but I don't think he'll be signed since there are already three kickers coming into camp. Coincidentally, Montana kicker Dan Carpenter isn't much of a punter, so that means unless Dave Rayner punts Brandon Fields is the only player on the roster entering training camp without ANY competition.
The two new offensive guards – Shawn Murphy and Donald Thomas – are big and athletic. Both have decent feet, but I suspect Murphy is a little bit ahead of Thomas considering his head was swimming in all the terminology the Dolphins unveiled this weekend.
Murphy was working next to Long for now while Thomas played right guard. Sparano said he hasn't decided if Justin Smiley will be moved to left guard to help ease Long's adjustment to the speed of NFL pass rushers. I suspect the toughest and most durable of the two rookies will be the guy who challenges Drew Mormino for the last vacant starting spot on the offensive line. Sparano said he's going to start the best five offensive linemen no matter their position, and will find a way to make it work.
Finally, onto the skill position guys. None of these tight ends or fullbacks will be pushing anyone for a roster spot, but both of the drafted tailbacks are decent one cut runners. It'll be interesting to see if they are able to shed their first tackler when the hitting starts, but I suspect Lorenzo Booker will have a better career than both Jalen Parmele or Lex Hilliard. Booker landed in a great spot going to the Eagles. It's too bad he didn't fit the Trifecta's system. In time we'll see what Parmele and Hilliard have, but they better be workers because Patrick Cobbs, while limited athletically, isn't going down without a fight.
As for the receivers, Davone Bess was the best of the batch, but Sparano challenged his conditioning. Foster, the Walter Payton Division I-AA player of the year, is quick, but a bit raw as a receiver. And SUPER tiny.
Bess is smooth, but doesn't have long speed. However, I suspect he could push David Kircus and Greg Camarillo for a spot on the 53-man roster if he trains like a madman over the next month.
The two bigger receivers, Selwyn Lymon and Marcel Reece, must prove they can catch better than they did this weekend. One of these guys could push for one of two practice squad spots that will likely go to a receiver because of the Trifecta's bigger is better philosophy. Despite his struggles this weekend I think Reece has potential because of his long speed.
Hopefully you'll find everything you need here, and you know the routine…F5 to refresh, and post any questions or comments here.
I'll leave you with this question. Which one of these long shots (undrafted players) are you pulling for?

Leclaire's not safe from injury on bench, either
Ottawa Senators goaltender Pascal Leclaire was trying to play it safe Monday and ended up taking it on the chin.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Pascal Leclaire was trying to play it safe Monday and ended up taking it on the chin.
Leclaire, who opted to sit out the game against the Washington Capitals due to a "lower body" injury, suffered a freak injury while sitting on the bench as a back-up. A pass from Jason Spezza deflected off the stick of a Washington Capitals forward, off the glass behind the Senators bench and directly off Leclaire's face.
Leclaire immediately left for the Senators dressing room and didn't return to the bench.
An unsubstantiated report suggested that Leclaire had suffered a broken jaw, but there was no update on Leclaire's status following the game.
The goaltender's career has been marked by injuries, but he has been off to a solid start this season, traded to the Senators from the Columbus Blue Jackets following surgery on his right ankle.
Earlier Monday, Leclaire had joked about knowing he was in a hockey mad city because of all the fuss over the injury he had suffered during Saturday's 5-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres, downplaying any speculation that he had re-injured his right ankle.
While refusing to divulge the exact nature of the "lower body" injury, he said it was not related to his right ankle. He went through the entire morning skate Monday, often lifting his left leg before facing shots, but opted not to risk further damage by rushing back against the Washington Capitals last night. Leclaire served as the back-up to Brian Elliott.
"I knew it was going to create a whole lot of media activity, I heard a lot about myself (Sunday) and it was pretty funny," he said. "We just decided to take an extra day or two, just to make sure that the extra day will help."
The injury occurred late in the second period when defenceman Matt Carkner pushed Sabres winger Jochen Hecht into the net. Hecht caught Leclaire's head and shoulder before falling on his leg. Leclaire finished the period, but gave way to Elliott for the final frame.
Russians back soon
Anton Volchenkov practised with the Senators on Monday morning for the first time since dislocating his right elbow in a game on Oct. 28. While it's unlikely he will play either Wednesday versus the New Jersey Devils or Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Volchenkov and coach Cory Clouston are optimistic he could be back for the start of a road trip Saturday against the Boston Bruins. "It feels better. I need a little more work on my shooting," Volchenkov said.
Alex Kovalev missed his second consecutive game following the death of his mother-in-law in Russia, but Clouston said he could be back for Wednesday's game.

plum kuchen
I've been curious to make a yeasted coffee cake for years, but every time I got close to making one, I decided against it. Would it be dry or overly-firm? Would it taste too much like bread? How would I know a good one if I've probably never had an authentic German kuchen — a general name for a type of sweet, yeasted cake, usually served with coffee — one? I've said this before but it bears repeating: I'm a master at talking myself out of things.

Claimed to be the greatest lack of evolution ever discovered, a deep-sea microorganism – sulfur bacteria – recently uncovered by an international group of scientists is reported not to have evolved for more than 2 billion years. Despite it appearing to be an aberration in nature, researchers say that the microscopic creature's unchanging nature actually supports Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Read More
We have previously argued here at Gizmag that the rate of technological advancement, which often banishes early iterations of a product to the realms of obsolescence, has obscured the true worth of some of our landmark innovations. As such, sales like the upcoming History of Science auction at Bonhams New York could provide fine opportunities for medium-term investments in rare collectibles, like a 1976 Apple 1 motherboard.Read More
In an age where accurate time measurement is taken for granted, the upcoming auction of an 1825 marine chronometer highlights just how far science has advanced in the last 200 years. The marine chronometer was a critical technology enabling navigation at sea. This 190 year-old example, which is heading for the auction block on July 9, has certainly witnessed its fair share of history in fulfilling that critical scientific role, having accompanied Charles Darwin on his epic five-year second voyage (1831-1836) to South America and the Galapagos Islands, the North American Boundary Expedition (1843-1846) which established the border between the USA and Canada and the 1857 survey of the Australian coastline which saw the naming of Darwin and the Fitzroy River. Given its stellar provenance, the chronometer seems ridiculously cheap if it does fall within its expected price range of … £30,000-50,000.Read More
A logbook from the famous 1872-1876 journey of HMS Challenger, described at the time as "the greatest advance in the knowledge of our planet since the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries" will go under the hammer in a September auction of exploration, travel and topographical items. Conducted just 13 years after Darwin's Origin of the Species, Challenger was tasked with constructing a fossil record that would test the new theory of evolution and became inextricably intertwined within the God vs. Science debate.Read More
June 26, 2007 A discovery that radically changed our understanding of the planet we live on celebrates its 30th anniversary this month. Scientists first discovered volcanic hot vents surrounded by bizarre animals thriving in total darkness at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in 1977 and at the end of June an international team of scientists, including many of the original explorers, will honor the landmark discovery at a special meeting and public event in the Galápagos Islands, located just south of the discovery site.Read More

I'm Jan Morgenstern and this is the website of my audio production company. I'm a composer and sound designer by nature and profession, and you can hire me to create music and sound for your project. In the past, I've worked on numerous film and TV projects, video games, and advertisements; to get a taste of those works, check out my showreel, take a look at my references, or listen to examples of my music.
If you have any questions or feedback, or in case you're interested in a quote for your project, please contact me.
En, to, tre, fire!
Life on a Scandinavian farm may not be what you traditionally expect to be a hotbed for radical ideas, but all it takes is a little goat with a recently-acquired skill of counting to ten and a bunch of animals who would really rather just tend to chewing grass rather than being counted, and you have all the ingredients for a bona fide culture clash.
With his 1957 story Geitekillingen som kunne telle til ti – The Little Goat Who Could Count to Ten –, Norwegian author Alf Prøysen successfully blended a delightful and educational children's tale with a pointed, satirical commentary on how a conservative society responds to new ideas. Almost 60 years after his original radio broadcast, Norwegian public TV broadcaster NRK commissioned director and animator Hans Jørgen Sandnes and his team for the production of a lovingly hand-drawn, animated short film adaptation of the famous source material. After its year-long production time and its impending premiere on national TV, Geitekillingen is set to do the short film festival circuit and, eventually, reach an international audience via TV and BluRay.
In the tradition of vintage animation shorts from the mid-20th century, I've written and produced a lush, full-length orchestral score for Geitekillingen. I was also responsible for the audio post production and the restoration of Alf Prøysen's original radio recording. Marking our 8th and as-of-yet most elaborate collaboration, I'm very happy that I got to work with Hans and his incredibly talented crew again, and I'm proud of what we accomplished. Stay tuned for news of where you can catch the little goatling!
Explore the depths of an unsound mind in CRESCENT
The good folks at game development startup Sceptical Skull have recently commissioned me to write a title theme for their upcoming survival horror game Crescent. The game is currently in pre-alpha stage; the plan is to finish the better part of development, then get crowdfunders on board for the homestretch with a playable demo. For the forlorn setting of Crescent, I've written a somber and eerie, yet beautiful main theme that you can check out on the References page.
Fuzz Animation Showreel
For Texas-based animation studio Fuzz Animation's new showreel, I wrote a sweeping orchestral theme that accents the magic and whimsy of their 3D animation targeted towards family media. Founded by independent 3D artist Nathan Dillow, Fuzz Animation provides a comprehensive range of animation services to clients worldwide and has gathered hundreds of millions of views with their Super Simple Songs range of children's online videos. You can watch the showreel on my References page.
Jerry Goldsmith Award for "Caminandes: Gran Dillama"!
I'm honored and proud to announce that my score for the animated short film Caminandes: Gran Dillama has won a Jerry Goldsmith Award in the category of Best Score for an Animated Short Film at this year's International Film Music Festival in Córdoba, Spain! The film marks my second collaboration with the talented team around director and 3D artist Pablo Vazquez, and I'm grateful that they gave me the opportunity to be inspired by their work.
The win was announced in a ceremony that took place in the beautiful renaissance town of Córdoba on July 24th. Among the attending guests of the festival were award-winning composers Abel Korzeniowski, Christopher Lennertz, Debbie Wiseman, and Rolfe Kent.
I am very grateful to the jury and the festival organizers for the recognition of my work and sincerely hope for Gran Dillama and its predecessor, Llama Drama, to be only the beginning of an exciting collaboration with Pablo and his team!
Scoring a Journey Across Southern Africa
For their newest adventure, Touratech founders Herbert and Ramona Schwarz travel 3000 miles across the ever-changing landscapes of Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. For the feature length travel documentary directed by Wolfgang Danner, I wrote and produced half an hour of original rock music with a cool African tinge. The film will be released on DVD soon.
Caminandes Ep. 2: "Gran Dillama" Released!
The eternal arms race between nature and man's contrivances has entered its next round and this time, man has electricity on his side. When Koro, a rather hapless llama living in the Patagonian andes, comes across an evil-looking fence that stands between him and the snack of his dreams, the proverbial gloves quickly come off…
After close to half a million people watched the first episode of Pablo Vazquez' series of cartoon shorts Caminandes back in 2012, the second episode was released in late 2013 and made quite a splash online; among other recognitions, it was featured as a Staff Pick on Vimeo, and got showcased on the disney.com frontpage.
Just like with the first episode, I wrote the music and was responsible for the audio post production of Caminandes: Gran Dillama. You can watch the short online, and buy both films along with bonus material and all 3D assets for the second episode in the Blender e-shop.
TV Commercials for Glad OdorShield
I've recently created music and sound design for a series of commercials for Glad® ForceFlex® OdorShield® brand plastic trash bags, which are currently airing on national TV in the US. The 3d animated, cartoonish commercial spots were created by Miami-based advertising agency Alma. Check 'em out via YouTube on my References page!
New Caminandes Episode Coming Soon
The success of the first episode of Caminandes, which was released earlier this year, has blown us away. The animated short film about the adventures of the hapless llama (fine, guanaco) Koro clearly struck a nerve with cartoon lovers across the internet and has been selected for a wide range of animation festivals and events. This was more than enough encouragement to set the next episode on its rails, which is being produced in Amsterdam as I write this. That's the good news. The great news is that the next installment will be twice as long as the first and has twice as many people on board – the original team is reinforced with 3D wunderkinds Hjalti Hjálmarsson, Andy Goralczyk and Juan Pablo Bouza, and Sergey Sharybin joins the project as technical director.
The next Caminandes episode is set for a November/December release and, once again, will feature an orchestral score and sound design by yours truly. Keep an eye on the production blog, where the team periodically shares their progress!

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Dalvance (dalbavancin), a new antibacterial drug used to treat adults with acute bacterial skin infections (ABSSI) caused by certain susceptible bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant strains) and Streptococcus pyogenes by the FDA this past week. The treatment is administered intravenously.
"This approval demonstrates the FDA's commitment to encouraging increased development and approval of new antibacterial and antifungal drugs to treat serious or life-threatening infections, and provides physicians and patients with important new treatment options," said Edward Cox, M.D., M.P.H, director of the Office of Antimicrobial Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
Dalvance's safety and efficacy were evaluated in two clinical trials with a total of 1,289 adults with ABSSSI. Participants were randomly assigned to receive Dalvance or vancomycin, another antibacterial drug. Results showed Dalvance was as effective as vancomycin for the treatment of ABSSSI. The most common side effects identified in the clinical trials were nausea, headache and diarrhea. However, it was also found that more of those receiving Dalvance showed elevations in one of their liver enzyme tests

Indigenous spiritual wellbeing
Toolbox: Australian flexible learning
Indigenous Spiritual Wellbeing Toolbox addresses units of competency from Certificate III and Certificate IV in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care.
The Indigenous Lead Centre was successful in winning 1 of only 5 grants nationally to develop a new toolbox with funding from the Australian Flexible Learning Framework. Flexible Learning Toolboxes are high quality, cost effective interactive e-learning and assessment resources featuring scenarios, images and activities. They are designed for use by training providers, industry and business and support online delivery of recognised training packages for the vocational education and training sector.
Spiritual well being is the working title for this toolbox. Some of the key features of the resource will include:
an integrated learning program incorporating a number of units of competency. These programs will be available on a CD-ROM for installation on a server or for use on a stand-alone computer, and
a learning object format allowing users to download smaller self-contained components of content. Learning objects generally support an element or unit of competency.
The project is being developed in conjunction with the Community Services and Health Industry Skills Council and leading multimedia firm, Global Vision Media based in Melbourne, and is expected to be finalised late November.
Preview the Indigenous Spiritual Wellbeing toolbox developed with the Australian Flexible Learning Framework.

Sherman posted a pedestrian 25-25 overall record in 4 years at College Station while Sumlin 35-17 in the same time span at Houston. Sumlin, a former Texas A&M assistant under R.C. Slocum in 2001 and 2002, led the Cougars to a 12-0 record in 2012 before falling to Southern Miss in the Conference USA Championship game. His team also lost in the 2009 CUSA championship game to East Carolina.
The Tigers opened with a 62-10 rout of FCS member Southeastern Louisiana last Saturday while Texas A&M's date with Louisiana Tech in Shreveport was postponed until October 13 due to Hurricane Isaac. Florida was an uninspiring 27-14 home winner over Bowling Green while Georgia surrendered 347 yards and 23 points to Buffalo in a 45-23 win in Athens.
Utah and Utah State renew their rivalry in Logan on Friday with the Utes projected as 10.28-point winners after the rivalry took the last 2 years off. Utah has won the last dozen meetings.
Notre Dame returns from its trip across the pond to host Purdue on Saturday. The computer likes the Irish by 10.37, yet I wouldn't be shocked by a Boilermaker upset given the effect on the players of the time zone changes and travel. A Purdue win would snap a four-game losing streak in the series, its longest since dropping 11 straight from 1986-1996.
The Air Force Academy invades Michigan on Saturday as the Wolverines are expected to rebound from an embarrassing 41-14 loss to Alabama on Saturday with a 28.37-point win this week. Starting running back Fitzgerald Toussaint and back-up defensive end Frank Clark have been reinstated by head coach Brady Hoke after serving one-game suspensions for separate incidents. Toussaint has pled guilty to a lesser charge of operating a vehicle while visually impaired instead of the initial intoxication charge. Clark faces a felony second-degree home invasion charge and is scheduled to be in court on September 11th.
Speaking of Alabama, the Tide get Western Kentucky at home as a surprisingly low 12.52-point computer pick over the Sun Belt's Hilltoppers. Oddsmakers installed the Tide as a 37-point favorite and bettors had forced that spread to rise to 40 by Wednesday.
Auburn doesn't catch a break after dropping its Chick-fil-A Kickoff game to Clemson. Can the War Eagle be resurrected this week at Mississippi State? The computer says "yes" as it makes Auburn the favorite by 4.58 points in a minor upset.
It will be interesting to see how Houston will respond to last week's 30-13 stunning loss at home to FBS upstart Texas State. Head coach Tony Levine's response on Monday was to accept the resignation of offensive coordinator Mike Nesbitt and put Travis Bush in charge of calling plays. Ironically, Bush was co-offensive coordinator at Texas State for 3 years before coming to Houston this season. Houston was a 26.87-point favorite last week, meaning the Bobcats turned that projection upside down by over 43 points. Houston clings to a 0.07-point computer advantage this week over a Louisiana Tech squad that is playing its season-opener after last week's scheduled game in Shreveport against Texas A∧M was postponed by Hurricane Isaac.
Other games to watch include N.C. State-UConn, East Carolina-South Carolina, Iowa State-Iowa, Miami (Fla.)-Kansas State, Washington-LSU, Louisiana-Lafayette at Troy, Maryland-Temple, UTEP-Mississippi, Nebraska-UCLA, USF-Nevada, North Carolina-Wake Forest, Vanderbilt-Northwestern, UCF-Ohio State, Penn State-Virginia and Toledo-Wyoming.
FBS vs. FCS:
This year, 101 FBS teams play a total of 108 games against FCS foes. UTSA is in its first year of transitioning from the FCS and plays 4 such schools. Cincinnati, Florida State, Pittsburgh and Texas A&M each play two such games.
27 FBS-FCS matchups take place this week.
FBS teams were 91-6 (.938) vs. FCS programs in 2011. The 6 teams that fell victim to FCS teams a year ago were Minnesota, New Mexico, UNLV, Western Kentucky, Duke and Oregon State
Here are the results of the FBS losses to FCS schools this season:
Northern Illinois - 9-game win streak was halted in 18-17 loss to Iowa at Soldier Field in Chicago on Saturday. The Huskies still own streaks of 8 straight conference wins and 15 straight home wins. Hosts FCS member Tennessee-Martin on Saturday. UT-Martin won 20-17 last week at Memphis.
LSU - 18-game home winning streak. Hosts Washington on Saturday.
Arkansas State - 8-game conference win streak. Lost 57-34 at Oregon on Saturday. Hosts Memphis on Saturday.
Virginia Tech - 13 straight wins in true road games (at opponents' venue). Hosts FCS member Austin Peay on Saturday.
Kansas - Snapped 10-game losing streak with a 31-17 home win over FCS member South Dakota St. on Saturday. Still owns losing streak of 10 straight FBS games. Hosts Rice on Saturday.
Tulane - 11 straight losses overall. Visits Tulsa on Saturday.
Akron - 9 straight losses overall, 20 straight road losses. Visits FIU on Saturday.
New Mexico - 22 straight road losses. Visits Texas on Saturday.
Mississippi - 14 straight conference losses. Hosts UTEP on Saturday.
Here are the this week's games for each new head coach:

Soils are key to the resolution of climate change – because all atmospheric CO2 passes through the coupled plant-soil system in just 7 years. This overarching project brings together a range of contributing projects. Some relate to the properties of urban soils and how these can be engineered to promote enhanced carbon capture, for example through the creation of 'Carbon Capture Gardens'.

TC TO JOSEPH EDLESTON ; 20 June 1857; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18570620-TC-JE-01; CL 32: 167-168
Chelsea, 20 june, 1857
Dear Sir,—Besides that it is interesting to hear of you again, this Letter, whh I had not seen before, becomes rather curious when put by the side of what already exists. See Letter LX of Olr's Letters and Speeches 3d editn (or i, 271 &c of Editn just published).1
The other marine-stores of poor Townsend from St Jillians (is that the right name?) are given in a very dark state: it might be worth some instructed person's while, who were passing that way, to examine better, what the original sweepings from that old St Jillian's were, if they still exist in the hands of Townsend's representatives.2
I have no Dugdale's Baronage, no Rushworth even,3 nor any other such Book about me, nor the least moment of leisure to go in chase of such inquiries at present: but I observe by Townsend's Copy of the Tombstone Inscription, that Lord Edward Herbert of Cherbury was still alive,—that probably therefore (for I know nothing exact abt the matter) it was to him that this Note was addressed. I know nothing of "Lord Richard,"—was he Edward's Successor, his Brother, Nephew or who?4 It is evident Townsend can plunge deep enough into the palpablest puddles of error!—
I return the slips, I keep a copy of the Note, with many thanks;—if at any time you shd happen to think of certifying yourself on the above points (or rather point, Was the Note addressed to Lord Edward the famed man?), and wd briefly impart to me the result,—I shd be still farther obliged.
With thanks for this and so many old kindnesses of the like sort,
Yours sincerely /
T. Carlyle

Another new offering from Wonka, and a very fun one at that. These are the last of the free samples I was sent, but I assure you, they're not the least! I feel this new line of Wonka candies really get into the spirit of the character Willy Wonka and the crazy candy genius he is. So what is a Marvel? It's the same sort of explanation you get when you try to explain what Nerds and SweetTarts and Gobstoppers are: they're a candy all their own.
Marvels are hard candy with a gummi center. The colors are bright and you see an uneven light sugar dusting on them. They're very pretty. The coating is hard, but not hard enough from crunching down on it if you wanted to. So you can either suck on these slowly and work your way though to the soft center, or you can crunch down on them and get a nice texture contrast on the hard/soft bits. Either way it's super fun!
White Grape: A lovely light green/yellow color. starts out lightly sweet then the flavor of muscat grapes come forward. it has notes of peach, grapes accented wit that nice floral flavor. it's extremely authentic and it's so delicious. I love it.
Orange: These are a bight intense orange color. the flavor is very tart, and it reminds me of a SweetTart in that way. i don't get much in terms of flavor other than the tang, but there's light orange notes in there, but they're not juicy like I'm used to.
Pomegranate: They're very striking and dark pink in color. the flavor is sweet, fruity and slightly tart. it's hard to lay my finger on exactly what pomegranate flavor is, but this is very berry like, with notes of blackberries and strawberries and it's really yummy.
These were both yummy and unique. You won't find another candy like it. If you're into trying something new, I really recommend giving these a try.
Will Eat Again

Hopefully, this week, you've picked up some valuable information on grilling and are discovering how fun and creative it can be! So far, I've discussed choosing a grill for those who are shopping for one, as well as including recipes that can put the grill to use. If you're new to grilling, you'll soon discover that it's a relaxing and enjoyable way to cook. If you missed my earlier columns regarding grilling, here are the links to those:
If you're like most Americans, you enjoy Mexican food. This type of cuisine has a flavor and style that's unique and hard to match! With the popularity of Mexican restaurants, it's easy to enjoy good food with the flavor of Mexico whenever you want to have it. However, you can enjoy that same Mexican flavor at home by simply lighting your grill!
The recipe I'm passing along today is for "Fajitas". This is a classic Mexican dish that uses flour tortillas, filled with grilled steak and topped with refried beans, guacamole and salsa. This recipe enables you to capture the flavor of grilled steak in a Mexican dish. Serve this with a salad and a Mexican snack chip. For dessert, a slice of sweet, cold watermelon would refresh the palate!
Like the recipe from yesterday, this can also be prepared in the oven. Just prepare the recipe as above, except place the packets of meat and tortillas in the oven, baking them at 375 degrees. It's a wonderful entree, regardless of how you prepare it!
In the event you aren't familiar with guacamole, it's a condiment made from avacados. I'm also adding a recipe for the guacamole, in case you don't already have a recipe for it. It's easy to do and can be made ahead. This also makes a great dip with Mexican chips or crackers.
So, if you're in the mood for Mexican food, but don't want to have to leave home, go no further than your grill with these recipe!
- 1 lb. Boneless Top Round Steak, 1 inch thick, slightly frozen
- 1/4 C. Vegetable Oil
- 2 Tbls. Lime Juice
- 2 Tbls. Honey
- 2 Tsp. Chili Powder
- 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 10 Flour Tortillas (measuring 8-10 inches)
- 1 16 oz. Can Refried Beans, heated (optional)
- Spicy Guacamole (recipe follows)
- Tomato Salsa (found in the Mexican section of the grocer)
Grilling method: Cut the steak crosswise into strips 1/8 inch thick; cut strips into 2 to 3 inch pieces; place meat in a plastic bag, non-metal bowl or baking dish; in a small bowl, combine oil, lime juice, honey, chili powder and garlic; pour over steak, turning to coat; seal bag or cover dish and marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight under refrigeration, turning once or twice; when ready to cook, place meat and marinade in a single layer on a sheet of heavy-duty foil; wrap securely with a double-fold seal; place foil packet on the grill 4-6 inches from medium-high coals; cook for 15 minutes or until meat is tender and no longer pink (for a gas grilll, follow manufacturer's directions); meanwhile, wrap tortillas in a sheet of heavy-duty foil; heat on the grill until thoroughly heated and steaming, turning occasionally; to serve, place meat on the center of each tortilla; top with refried beans, Spicy Guacamole and Tomato Salsa; roll envelope fashion. Serves 5.
Conventional method: Prepare meat and marinade as directed above; wrap meat and tortillas in foil; preheat oven to 375 degrees and place packets of meat and tortillas in the oven; bake for about 15 minutes; assemble as directed above.

- 2 Tbls. Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Tbls. Lime Juice

Move Over, Wonderbread: DIY Superman Logo Bread
Chris-Rachael Oseland of Kitchen Overload has made a tutorial on how to make your own Superman logo bread. It doesn't seem too complicated either so it seems like a great kitchen craft to do with your kids. Just be careful and make sure you don't screw it up and accidentally make a 'Z' loaf like that one in the background. "Wow, you really are stupid." You could try to explain it to me but I won't get it.
Hit the jump for a super simplified picture tutorial.
Thanks to Marc, who has every intention of trying and failing to make Spider Man logo bread.

How drug abuse contribute to child abuse
Ingabire recognized for contributing towards School renovation
Posted on January 27, 2012 by admin in English, Ibikorwa
Muhanga district officials together with local residents ofNgoma cell inKabacuzi sector, Southern Province of Rwanda, on January 20 2012 recognised Alice Ingabire for her contribution in the renovation exercise of Ngoma Primary School.
Muhanga district Vice Mayor in charge of social welfare Fortune Mukagatana observed saying that every Rwandan should be proud of his/her country by contributing towards its development.
The Head Teacher of Ngoma Primary School Therese Mujawamariya explained that the school was poorly built and had limited sitting places, adding that pupilswere seating on logs placed on the ground during lessons.
Classroom blocks had started fading out and developing cracks, hence risking the safety of children's lives.This prompted the school administration to search for support in order to rehabilitate the school and fortunately came across Alice Ingabire.
Ingabire who is pursuing her studies in the USA, studied her Primary education at Ngoma Primary school.
Ingabiresaid that even though she is outside Rwanda, she cannot forget her mother country or forget that there are children studying in poorly built schools when she can at least offer some help.
She said; "Even though am living a good life in U S A, I cannot forget about the people I left behind by helping them get out of poverty".
Ingabire contributed eight million Rwandan francs towards the rehabilitation ofNgoma primary school.
The amount was injected in the construction of four classrooms and buying of scholastic materials including pens, books and bags which will benefit about 600 children.

Relationship Recognition on the Move in Colorado
Delaware, Illinois, Minnesota — the list of states making progress on relationship recognition for same-sex couples seems to be getting longer every day. Also on this illustrious list is the state of Colorado, which has been experiencing a flurry of activity lately.
Last week, the Colorado Senate Judiciary Committee advanced SB 11, a bill that would establish civil unions for same-sex couples, on a 3-2 vote. SB 11 was approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee today, and it moves next to the full Senate. The Denver Post says the civil unions bill, which would confer many, but not all, of the rights and responsibilites of marriage, is expected to pass. Stay tuned!
However, Zoe Mandelski thinks her state can do better than separate-and-unequal civil unions. The 17-year-old high-school senior believes all Coloradans, regardless of sexual orientation, deserve the freedom to marry, so she drafted a ballot proposal for her civics class project that would overturn the state's 2006 marriage discrimination amendment by making the following change to the Colorado constitution:
Be it enacted by the voters of the State of Colorado: Article II Section 31 of the Constitution of the State of Colorado is amended to read: A union of one man and one woman, one man and one man, and one woman and woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state.
According to the Denver Post, Mandelski's proposal will receive its first hearing by Legislative Council staff on February 11 at the state capitol building.
Mandelski intends to continue work on her proposal for as long as it survives, even if it means working remotely from the Illinois Institute of Technology, where she'll be studying in the fall. She remarked to the Post about the well-documented generation gap on the marriage equality issue:
It seems like a nonissue to me, but I guess that's my generation's view on it. I do personally support gay marriage, but my parents don't.
Remarkable, right? Equality is coming, folks. Thanks to people like Zoe Mandelski, the Millennial generation will make it so.

Those who live in Santa Monica are blessed with a plethora of options for an active lifestyle. The city is constantly providing cheap and easy ways to stay fit and have fun.
My new favorite fitness spot is Santa Monica College, the home of the Santa Monica Swim Center and Santa Monica College track. Two amazing facilities, both cheap and open to the public.
The SMC track is large, brightly lit, well maintained and filled with the energy of the youthful students. It was originally built for use in the 1984 Olympics and is a perfect spot to work out alone or with a running group. It costs nothing but endurance.
Next door to the track is the Santa Monica Swim Center, a beautiful, modern facility with two large, heated outdoor pools. The smaller, Splash Pool, is shallow (2-4 ft. depths) with ten, 25-yard lanes and is used for recreational and lap swimming. The larger, Fitness Pool, is a 50 meter pool, split into 25-yard lanes.
The facilities are spacious, clean and well-maintained. There are lockers for your personal belongings and a large, pristine communal shower in both the men and women's locker rooms, with soap dispensers mounted on the wall for your convenience, lots of space for changing, and a large mirror which seperates the common area from the toilets.
Residents of Santa Monica pay a mere $1 for children and $2.50 for adults for a daily pass at The Santa Monica Swim Center. Need assistance, they offer swimming lessons all year round.
The track and swim center are both filled with electric energy and a true sense of community. Jump in to these beautiful and affordable reasons to run, swim, live.

There are those of us for whom circadian rhythms find us up at dawn and sleepy shortly after dinner; the hours of darkness that we miss always seem a bit magical. The following books with "night" in the title all seem to reinforce that idea.
'The Night Strangers [1]'
If you are a fan of classic New England horror stories, try "The Night Strangers [1]" by Chris Bohjalian. Commercial pilot Chip Linton's failure to land his disabled plane on a lake results in the death of 39 people. As part of the therapy to relieve his PSTD, he moves his wife and twin daughters to New Hampshire. In their new basement is a mysterious door bolted shut with 39 carriage bolts. Is the evil in Linton's guilt-ridden mind or in the town that surrounds them?
'The Book of Night Women [2]'
James Marlon's "The Book of Night Women" [2] is an extraordinary historical novel of Jamaican slavery. It is the story of Lilith, born into slavery on a Jamaican sugar plantation at the end of the 18th century. Even at her birth, the slave women around her recognize a dark power that they -- and she -- will come to both revere and fear. Warning: this book is very graphic in both language and imagery. Depicted clearly here is how detrimental a society based upon racism is for all involved.
'Midsummer Night [3]'
In Freda Warrington's, "Midsummer Night [3]," a contemporary fantasy set at the intersection of our world and the Aetheriel one, Gill Sharma has just arrived from London on a retreat to Cairndonan, a dilapidated mansion in the highlands of northwest Scotland, to nurse her injuries from a recent accident in solitude and peace. The mansion's owner, Dame Juliana Flagg, a world-renowned and increasingly eccentric artist, is producing eerie sculptures that she can't bear to show or sell. Once Gill stumbles across the portal between worlds, the action never stops.
'The School of Night [4]'
"Call me. The School of Night is back in session." Thus begins Louis Bayard's "The School of Night [4]," which moves between the present time, where Alonzo Wax left the above cryptic message for Henry Cavendish shortly before committing suicide, and the 17th century, where five brilliant scholars gather under the cloak of darkness to discuss God, politics, astronomy and the black arts. The transitions between centuries is seamless and the relationship between the two is fascinating.
'Night Magic [5]'
A modern retelling of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," set in New York City, Tom Tryon's last book, "Night Magic [5]," tells of a young street performer who encounters an oddly dressed old man. The performer soon finds himself torn between life as he has come to know it and an apprenticeship that commits him to the study of black magic.
'The Night Circus [6]'
No listing of books about night and magic would be complete without the stunningly original debut novel by Erin Morgenstern, "The Night Circus [6]." The circus arrives without warning. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Reves, and it is only open at night. The two main characters, Celia and Marco, are bound together in a magical competition. They were chosen as children, had no choice in the matter, and do not understand the parameters of the competition or how a winner will be chosen. They are pawns, but they take a dark situation and create light.

The death of poet, actress, author, and professor Dr. Maya Angelou at age 86 comes shortly after her last national television appearance on a national program that the present writer had plane tickets to Los Angeles but cancelled due to a state emergency. Thus, the memory of seeing her on April 29, 2010, is the last memory of a poet who was taught and recited daily in his Black Poetry class taught at Howard University for a decade.
As a poet Maya Angelou gave African-American women a voice and a sense of pride in a society that often discounted and disrespected them. Her classic autobiography, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, told the story of her brutal upbringing and the resilience and determination that she used to become a success and overcome the hardships of her childhood to become a friend of both Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X.
She loved poetry and she loved poets. "Amiri Baraka is one of our greatest living poets," she said. But it was Maya Angelou who was asked to be the American poet who wrote and presented an original poem to the nation for the Inauguration of President William Jefferson Clinton in 1993. Her poetry was honest and reflected the world that she remembered growing up as an African-American child in Arkansas.
Angelou was a frequent visitor to the District of Columbia. Her friendship with the great Dorothy Irene Height was legendary and she was involved with helping underprivileged children in the District. Her life as a poet was also balanced with her work as an actress. In 1977 she joined the cast of the largest African-American ensemble of actors and actress in the greatest American television production in history. Her performance in the television production of Alex Haley's book, ROOTS, was memorable for her portrayal of a strong African women.
President Barack Obama awarded Angelou with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her service and contributions to the United States of America.
First Lady Michelle Obama will speak at the private funeral service for Professor Angelou at Wake Forest University. Officials in the City of Wake Forest explained to Examiner.com that there would not be a public funeral. Guy Johnson, the only son of the famed writer and professor, has asked the public to please respect the privacy of the family.

I'm working with a church that has a website hosted by an outside company that handles all of the DNS for them (we just point our NS records to their servers). The platform (FaithConnector) includes email hosting that is currently used only for distribution lists. The church is wanting to use Google Apps for individual staff emails, but unfortunately we don't have access to the nameservers at FaithConnector to add the necessary MX records. My question is, if we add our own nameserver with the appropriate records for GApps, is there some way to configure it so that we can continue to use the current platform for the distribution lists and avoid breaking anything?
As far as systems wanting to do a lookup are concerned all your nameservers are equal. It follows therefore that if you have different records on different servers you can, at the very least, expect some pretty unpredictable results.
When done correctly you will have one master server with one or more slaves which sync to the master. But, to repeat what I said previously, to the clients they are all equal. If you cannot set it up this way because one server isn't providing the needed flexibility or functionality then you need to look at eliminating that server from the equation.

Comic-Con Day 2: More stars make appearances
SAN DIEGO -- The comics industry's version of the Oscars is scheduled for Friday evening at Comic-Con International, the massive celebration of the popular arts in downtown San Diego.
The 26th annual Eisner Awards, set for 8 p.m. at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel, will honor comics creators and works in 30 categories. Awards will be handed out for best writer and artist, best new series and best single issue -- among many others.
The awards are named for Will Eisner, the creator of "The Spirit" who died in 2005.
Earlier in the day at Hall H of the convention center, Ron Diamond's 15th annual Animation Show of Shows featured a selection of the best award-winning animated shorts from around the world.
Among the celebrities scheduled who made appearances were "Harry Potter" series actor Daniel Radcliffe and actress Salma Hayek. The two premiered a trailer for the upcoming film "Horns."
Others who took part in panel discussions or other events were Samuel L. Jackson, promoting the film "Kingsmen: The Secret Service;" Channing Tatum, at a panel on the animated release "Book of Life;" Evangeline Lilly, who introduced her first illustrated children's book "The Squickerwonkers;" Rose McIver, promoting the new television series "iZombie;" "The Walking Dead" star Andrew Lincoln; and David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel of "Bones."
Comics legend Stan Lee, who was set to make appearances Friday and Saturday, had to back out at the last minute because he lost his voice, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The report said the 91-year-old co-creator of "Avengers," "Hulk," "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" had laryngitis.
Pre-paid parking at the convention center and Hilton Bayfront is sold out.
Free shuttles will run between the convention center and hotels in downtown, Mission Valley, Shelter Island and Harbor Island. Shuttle service will run 24 hours a day until Sunday at 7 p.m.
Organizers encourage attendees to use the San Diego Trolley and the North County Transit District's Coaster train. The Metropolitan Transit Systems says the Green Line trolley to the convention center and Gaslamp Quarter will run every seven and a half minutes -- twice as often as normal -- during Comic-Con.
The trolley system will also offer paperless tickets on its new mTicket mobile application.

IT manager Alan Smith, of Usker Close, woke to discover water spurting from a kitchen cupboard and the downstairs of his property soaked.
The 57-year-old has since discovered the problem stemmed from an incorrectly-assembled water pipe, which was put together during the building process by developers Taylor Wimpey.
He has received an apology from the company and had the fault rectified but Taylor Wimpey has failed to compensate him for damage to his possessions, instructing him to claim on his house insurance, which means he will have to pay an excess.
Mr Smith moved in to the then newly-built home in November 2008.
He now wants to sell it and estimates the cost to repair the problem, which includes damaged cabinets, floor tiles, skirting boards and kitchen furniture, to be about £2,500.
Although a Taylor Wimpey contractor changed the pipe fitting, it was left to Mr Smith to clean up the mess and he was without water for three days.
A Taylor Wimpey spokesman said: "We have been in regular contact with Mr Smith and have repaired the broken pipe at his home as a gesture of goodwill, despite the property being out of warranty.
"We would be happy to meet with Mr Smith alongside representatives from both D Rose Plumbing (Taylor Wimpey's contractors) and Plasson UK to try and resolve the situation."

"The crematoria at Auschwitz did not begin with bricks, they began with words."
- Abe Foxman
I typed those words onto my iPad and my purpose at this event became clear. I have live-tweeted many events. Typically the events I live-tweet have to do with small business, entrepreneurship, social media and general community building - content that never really reaches the scope of being offensive. In fact, I have a very clear personal mission to share content that is positive in nature and serves to elevate the conversation. I am always careful about my choice of words, I aim not to offend and when I do discuss challenging issues I am careful to include information or access to ways these challenges may be solved. But even so I rarely knowingly cross a threshold that might involve offending a reader.
On this occasion I would be tweeting content that pushed that envelope and I knew might cause some to form negative opinions of me as I captured comments from people who fight for civil liberties in many different arenas. On this occasion I would be capturing the quotes and comments of legislators, government officials, community activists. I would be sharing the words of people pushing agendas, agendas I support and believe in but may not communicate about as openly on social platforms. I was not sure what to expect but I was nervous and I knew that in many ways I would be coming out of the closet on some very firmly held beliefs. I am ashamed to say that it crossed my mind more than once that, as I do for many clients, I wished I could be tweeting from the organization's account and therefore have the ability to mostly be anonymous. But this time I was not being paid. This time I was tweeting about my own experience as a Leadership Fellow in this century old organization.
The Anti Defamation League (ADL) was founded 101 years ago after a Jewish man was falsely accused and murdered by a mob for an act he didn't commit. The agency is best known for its work defending people against anti-Semitism but has evolved as an organization who understands that standing up for the civil rights of all is the ultimate way to defend against hate, bias and specifically anti-Semitism. As Americans, and in the greater world, there are those who disagree with the positions and platforms of the ADL. We are, after all, a nation composed of people from all walks of life who came here for freedom of speech, freedom of religion and the freedom to affect legislation. America's own history is full of civil rights failures and atrocities and as we grow and develop we continue to evolve as a people and create a world that makes sense from a civil liberties perspective. There are those out there who do not want to see these changes and who fear their impact on our society and who, as Americans, have a right to argue and defend their principles. What we don't have the right to do is discriminate, spread hatred, instill fear and incite violence. That is where the line gets crossed and that is where the ADL gets involved.
The conference was held in Washington DC the seat of the highest levels of debate on civil rights. The city is teeming with lobbyists from all sides of every platform and the streets were swarming with tourists from around the world standing on long lines to see the amazing historical sites recognizing the works and history of this great nation and her leaders even as rain fell steadily from the sky. Safely ensconced in the world of our hotel ballrooms we began to hear from those engaged in the daily fight for freedom and I began to tweet.
Utilizing hashtags to spread the message beyond the hotel and the conference attendees I was delighted as retweets began to flow. I watched as tweets about resources to train students to defend themselves against cyber bullying began to make the rounds of the education twitter community. More came in as I tweeted about giving parents resources to help safeguard their children online and to help them identify what to look out for. Each time I saw my phone light up I got a jolt of excitement. I knew I was helping people. I also knew I was still tweeting the easy stuff.
It was not until I sent my first tweet with the word Israel in the content that I earned the wrath of some members of the twitterverse and received a tweet from someone identifying himself as a "Grand Duke" with a vile challenge to my civil rights motives. As a Jewish woman, and a woman who cherishes her dual citizenship with Israel, where my family has lived for more than 14 generations, his title and words struck fear in my heart and gave me a moment of pause. Only a moment, I did not have time to pause. The session kept going and the content needed to be shared.
Many more hateful tweets would come into my stream before my conference live tweeting would conclude and it was not until the final session at the closing lunch that I truly felt confident in what I was doing tweeting content that had the possibility to divide and turn some against me simply for who I am.
Over the few days of our experience I had several conversations with individuals where I mentioned that my goal had once been to run for public office. I quickly followed that up with the clarifier that this was no longer my goal. In DC when you tell someone you want to run for office I imagine it must be like telling someone in LA that you want to be on the silver screen. Every next person you meet wants that role. Yet, while I expected people to immediately move past my soiled dreams they did not. They pressed me. They wanted to know why I no longer wished to run. Well, I explained, it was simple, the longer I had been involved in politics the more I realized that my beliefs did not align with any one of the political parties or factions out there. I am an American who is also an Israeli and I am a woman who has strong beliefs on getting our children a solid education in the best possible environment for their learning style and I believe firmly that we are responsible for creating a society where we welcome people to become Americans and support access and equality for all, all. I did not feel the system would like to have me in it. When I told them that they said, "that's exactly why you should be."
On our last panel of the day we had the Monika Bickert, Head of Global Policy Management for Facebook and Jeffrey Rosen, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. The conversation was focused around the slippery slope between censorship and removal of content that is actually hateful and may incite others. As a privately held company Facebook has the right to enforce its policies however they deem fit but with 1.3 billion daily users their decisions have the capacity to impact the world more than free speech law. What Facebook has been doing has been to create a "compassionate resolution" program where they are working on helping individuals resolve content disputes without Facebook's involvement. Facebook is teaching people how to communicate in this new era. But what really struck me, and was my big wake up call was when the Ms. Bickert from Facebook said that what has been most effective in the removal of questionable content is what Facebook now does first. When a page has been reported Facebook will give the page owner the right to have the content put back up if they will reveal their identity on the page. People who are trying to incite bullying, violence, terror will often hide behind anonymity and most do not choose to have the page unblocked in exchange for pulling back the curtain and taking ownership publicly.
As I typed the tweet capturing that information it suddenly occurred to me that I was doing the same thing. I was very comfortable sharing this content that I knew had the power to divide if I was behind the shelter of someone else's name but would I say the same in the harsh daylight of my own account hitting the twitter stream? Furthermore if I am not able to share my tweets that certainly come out with my own bias towards civil liberty and my belief and support for the State of Israel and the obliteration of anti-Semitism am I anything more than a coward? I must fight hard to create a world my children can be safe in no matter what they believe, who they are and who they choose to love and to do that I must stand up, speak out, be willing to hear the criticisms and not allow fear to swallow my resolve to do the work I need to do out in the open to create a world without hate.

August 18, 1998
LOS ANGELES - A new era is beginning in Westwood, as Todd Saldana takes over for Joy Fawcett as head coach of one of the nation's women's soccer powerhouses. In only five years, the UCLA women's soccer program has made its mark on the national soccer scene, advancing to the NCAA playoffs twice. With an impressive 19-3-0 record and a perfect 9-0 record in the Pac-10, the 1997 squad recorded UCLA's first-ever women's soccer Pac-10 championship and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals.
Under the tutelage of Saldana, the 1998 Bruins look to continue and perhaps surpass the success of the 1997 season. UCLA's goals for the 1998 season are to defend its 1997 Pac-10 title and advance as far, if not farther, in the NCAA playoffs as last season.
The Bruins lose seven extremely talented players yet return and welcome some of the most talented young athletes in the country. While the 1998 squad will be young, this team is deeper than any other team ever to take the field for UCLA and possesses the playoff experience needed to make a run for the NCAA title.
Tied for 15th in the NSCAA/Umbro pre-season poll, UCLA's talented athletes and competitive schedule will combine to create a season that will be nothing short of exciting.
Following is a position-by-position look at the 1998 Bruins:
Forwards: Although the Bruins lose all-time leading scorer and All-American Traci Arkenberg, blending three talented returners with one of the most prolific prep goal scorers and an outstanding transfer makes the recipe for success for the Bruins this season. UCLA's forwards have more depth, and according to Saldana, "We have more variety in our offense this season. Goals and assists will come from different players and positions."
Despite coming off the bench last season, sophomore Venus James (9g,7a) was UCLA's second leading scorer. With an opportunity to break into the starting lineup this season, she will bring her speed, versatility and desire to finish to the team.
One of the top recruits at the forward position, freshman Staci Duncan comes to UCLA from the extremely talented and successful club team Central Valley Mercury. "Duncan could be the freshman that will transition best into collegiate soccer. She possesses speed, power and is an opportunistic goal scorer who creates goals for herself and others," says Saldana.
Joining the Bruins as a transfer with three years of eligibility and one year of collegiate playing experience is sophomore Tracey Milburn (5g, 5a). Local rival Pepperdine's second leading scorer in 1997, Milburn received honorable mention All-West Coast Conference honors. Milburn's excellent playmaking and passing abilities will provide UCLA with yet another scoring threat.
Tripling her 1996 point total with 15 points in 1997, senior Larisa Kiremidjian (6g, 3a) stepped up her play last season. UCLA will look to Kiremidjian to continue her athletic play and help lead the Bruins to another Pac-10 title. Although senior Liz Willemse saw little action last season, she is looking to see more playing time in 1998.
Freshman Courteney Cosso, the 1997-98 Arcadia High Female Athlete of the Year, can come in and play at the forward or midfield position. Cosso is an extremely athletic player and possesses good speed and skill. Adding depth to the forward position is freshman Sarah Lazaro. She is a powerful and versatile player who can play up front or as an outside midfielder.
Midfielders: UCLA's midfield this season is deeper than ever and is filled with the experience needed to make another run at the Pac-10 title. "Our midfielders this season possess the playmaking abilities and creativity to generate more goals and assists for us," says Saldana.
With one year of collegiate experience under her belt, 1997 Pac-10 Freshman of the Year Sommer Hammoud leads the way for the Bruin midfield this season. She is an excellent playmaker and passer who has great abilities to get crosses off. The Bruins will look to Hammoud to step up her offense and put more points on the board.
Second-team All-Pac-10 selection Beth Thompson is a strong defensive presence for the Bruins in the middle. Thompson, a junior, recorded her only career goal against Portland in UCLA's historic 1-0 win to advance to the second round of the 1997 NCAA playoffs. Her strengths come in her ability to switch the point of attack and her leadership abilities on the field.
The Bruin freshmen will make a big impact at midfield in '98. Leading the rookies will be freshman Breana Boling, who was selected as one of the Top 25 high school recruits this season by Soccer America. "Breana is an extremely well-rounded player; she's the complete package. Breana is a great passer as well as a great finisher and possesses the defensive capabilities to shut down our opponents," says Saldana.
Junior Bree Edwards is an extremely feisty player who is a hard worker and is excellent at possessing the ball and could earn a starting position on the '98 squad. Edwards could also drop into the back to help out the Bruin defense.
Providing a spark for the Bruins off the bench in 1997 was senior Louise Lieberman (2g, 5a). Lieberman is ranked second on UCLA's career assist list with 13 and will look to set up more goals this season. She possesses a great knowledge of the game and is capable of scoring and creating scoring opportunities for her teammates.
Sophomore Janine Altman suffered injuries last year but is healthy and ready to play this season. Altman's speed and ability to get crosses off will be invaluable assets to the Bruin midfield. Rookie Lauren Emblem, the 1997 CIF Player of the Year, possesses a good work ethic and should definitely lead the team in effort. She is a versatile player and could play in several positions this season. Redshirt freshman Megan Quinn will likely come off the bench this season to contribute in the deep midfield. Quinn has superb heading skills and possesses the ball well.
Adding depth at the midfield position will be freshmen Vanessa Clark and Sarah Morgan. Clark, an All-CIF selection, reads the game very well, possesses great ball skills and is a creative player who has the ability to score goals. Morgan will likely come off the bench for the Bruins this season either in the midfield or as a defender.
Defenders: Despite losing two of the greatest defenders ever to play for UCLA - Rhiannon Tanaka and Tiffany Brown - UCLA returns two extremely talented players in Skylar Little and Karissa Hampton and welcomes freshman phenom Krista Boling. The strength of UCLA's defense this season will come in its youth and speed. Leading UCLA's defense will be junior Skylar Little (0g, 1a) who started all 22 games for the Bruins last season. Little is a consistent and relentless defender. Combining her speed and her knowledge of the game, opponents will have yet another obstacle to overcome.
Sophomore Karissa Hampton will likely start this season and bring her dominating physical presence and great heading abilities to the Bruin defense. Freshman Krista Boling, a Parade High School All-American, is a consistent player with tremendous skills. Like her twin sister and fellow Bruin Breana, she was selected by Soccer America as one of the Top 25 high school recruits in 1998. "Krista is an extremely intelligent player who has the ability to shut people down while guiding us offensively from the back," says Saldana. Also expected to contribute are freshmen Bethany Bogart and Courtney Arrigo. Bogart can come in and play in the midfield or in the back, and Arrigo is a physically strong player who can come off the bench and provide strength and athleticism to the game.
Goalkeepers: With another year under their belts, the UCLA goalkeepers have gained more playing and playoff experience.
UCLA's all-time career (28) and season (17) wins leader junior Lindsay Culp returns this season and will likely start. She has played all but 287 minutes in her two years as a Bruin and will bring that experience to the net. Culp plays a complete game and possesses good skills in the air. Also competing for the position will be sophomore Julie Kapcala and redshirt freshman CiCi Peterson. Kapcala is UCLA's most aggressive goalkeeper and is excellent in one-on-one situations. Peterson is coming off injuries but is consistent at goal and also possesses excellent skills.
The Schedule: Nationally ranked opponents, Pac-10 foes and a cross-town rival rank among some of the best opponents the '98 Bruins will face. The Bruins meet No. 8 Nebraska on September 18 in a game which has been touted as one of the best match-ups of the season. The Bruins welcome Bay Area and Pac-10 foes California and No. 24 Stanford to L.A. on October 16 and 18 respectively. The Bruins swept Cal and Stanford last season and will look to do the same in '98. UCLA's most heated rivalry comes on November 1 when the Bruins meet cross-town rivals USC. Last year's match-up drew the biggest crowd ever to watch a Bruin home game (2,373) and was called the biggest women's soccer game ever played in Southern California. Last year's game ultimately decided the Pac-10 race, and this season, the game could hold the same Pac-10 and playoff implications. "Every game will be a tough one this season. As the Pac-10 champions, every team will be well prepared to play us," says Saldana.
With marked improvements in the talent of the Pac-10 and some great match-ups with local opponents, 1998 promises to be an exciting year for UCLA.

GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina closes its 2011 campaign Wednesday, hosting Conference USA rival Marshall at Minges Coliseum. First serve is set for 6 p.m.
The match will serve as the final home contest for the Pirates' four seniors - Amanda Lutzow, Nicole Jones, Britney Roper and Jackie Varnum. The quartet was recognized for their efforts during their careers Sunday.
ECU looks to end the season on a high note after dropping a pair of 3-0 decisions to UAB and Memphis last weekend. The Pirates fell to 2-26 overall and 0-19 in league play with the setbacks.
The Herd enters the match at 8-21 overall and 7-12 in conference contests after taking two losses this past weekend - also against the Tigers and Blazers. Marshall is led at the net by Abby Tomas, who sits 13th in the conference with 338 kills and a 3.16 kill per set average. Cameron Yoho adds 306 kills of her own and possesses a 2.86 kill per set average. Freshman Sammie Bane ranks 7th in the conference in assists after tallying a 10.16 assists per set average. Bane reached the season plateau of 1,000 assists against Memphis this past weekend and has 1,087 for the season. The rookie also boasts 12 double-doubles.
Last Time Against Marshall:
After winning the first set against Marshall in Huntington, East Carolina could not sustain its momentum and dropped a 3-1 decision at the Cam Henderson Center in the Conference USA opener for both squads.
Senior Britney Roper was the story for the Pirates (2-6, 0-1) in the match, producing a team-best nine kills to go along with a career-high 15 digs. Classmates Amanda Lutzow and Nicole Jones, as well as sophomore Shelby Beasley, joined Roper in double figures with 10 digs. Sophomore Kasey Kavanaugh was also credited with 17 assists.
The Herd (2-7, 1-0) held the upper hand in each statistical category, topping ECU in kills (54-34), assists (50-29), service aces (6-1), digs (74-54) and total blocks (6.0-5.0). It was only the second time all season the Pirates had been outdone in the blocking column.

The arrival of red carpet season has everyone's mind focused on fashion. Stunning Celebrity news correspondent Catt Sadler knows a thing or two about fashion, when she's not busy working on the ProgressOh! Ultimate L.A. Makeover campaign, she takes a moment to share with us tips for looking and feeling good in 2014.
Catt's Fashion Tips:
1. This is NOT a time to blend in! To show off your new and improved body, choose bright colors and bold prints that help you get noticed and express the strong, increasingly confident person you've become! You can mix and match prints (which is still a fashion trend this year) and play with lots of textures, too. Those days of trying to blend in are O-V-E-R!
2. Often when we're unhappy with our bodies we tend to hide in our boyfriend jeans or oversized sweaters and jackets; it's time to tuck these away. Now that you're feeling fantastic, select more fitted silhouettes that reveal just how hard you've been working! It may be difficult to get out of the habit of "covering up," but embrace your slimmed down curves and don't hesitate to show off the goods with streamlined clothes and even sexier cuts that accentuate your body.
3. For the first time in years we've been seeing pastels in the winter time! Don't wait for summer to bust out your pinks, lilacs and baby blues. Show off the new you by showing you know exactly what's on trend. Accompany that new pair of fitted jeans with a soft yellow sweater and baby pink lip gloss. Your friends will admire your bold choices!
4. Often when we don't feel our best, we're not motivated to dress up. Sneakers and sweat pants can be the 'uniform.' Now that you're looking and feeling great, try dressing up more than usual.
5. You know the old saying, 'dress for the job you want, not the job you have'? Well, this applies to the way you want to be perceived by your peers and is truly a reflection of how you're feeling inside. Dress for success and you'll continue being successful in most areas of your life, including your new healthier way of living.
6. To celebrate the slimmer you, splurge and buy yourself one new piece of clothing. Naturally, the biggest reward of all is acknowledging that your hard work and dedication has paid off, but splurging on one new blouse or a pair of pants one size smaller certainly validates the new, thinner you. Rocking a brand new chic blazer sure says OH! to me!

Rep. Cuellar joins Laredo City Councilman Charlie San Miguel and former Councilman Gene Belmares and other state and local officials for the ribbon cutting of the Manadas Hike and Bike Trail.
LAREDO, TEXAS (Office of Henry Cuellar) – Congressman Henry Cuellar joined Laredo Mayor Raul Salinas, District VI Council Member Charlie San Miguel, City Manager Carlos Villarreal, and officials from the Texas Department of Transportation to officially inaugurate the Manadas Creek Hike and Bike Trail at North Central Park.
The new trail will expand the park area for the benefit of Laredo residents while providing expanded green spaces for public use. The total cost of the project was $850,000, including a $300,000 federal earmark secured by Congressman Cuellar in 2010.
"Today's grand opening of the Manadas Creek Hike and Bike Trail is a major accomplishment for the citizens of Laredo," said Congressman Cuellar. "In 2010, I worked to secure this $300,000 federal earmark for the City of Laredo to design and construct the Manadas Creek Hike and Bike Trail. The new trail adds more green spaces and walking areas for Laredo residents, while still preserving the character of Manadas Creek and protecting our local environment. I would like to congratulate the City for successfully completing this project."
The new extension will provide additional pathways to access to the shopping centers, grocery store, hospital, restaurants.

Luis Suarez scored twice to become his country's all-time leading goalscorer as Uruguay beat Tahiti 8-0 in the Confederations Cup on Sunday night.
The Liverpool striker entered the action as a 69th minute substitute and promptly fired two late strikes to take his overall tally for La Celeste to 35 goals - one more than Diego Forlan.
Suarez's Anfield teammate Sebastian Coates was also in action for Uruguay in Recife as he played the entire 90 minutes.
The victory takes Uruguay into the semi-finals and sets up a meeting with competition hosts Brazil on Wednesday.
Elsewhere in Group B, Pepe Reina was an unused substitute for Spain as they confirmed their place in the second stage of the Confederations Cup as group winners with a 3-0 success over Nigeria in Fortaleza.
They'll now meet Italy in the last four.
Meanwhile, in the FIFA U20 World Cup, Conor Coady captained and scored for England in their group opener with Iraq.
The Reds starlet headed home in the 41st minute to give the Young Lions the lead before Luke Williams doubled their advantage.
However, Iraq fought back to clinch a 2-2 draw in Turkey in a game in which Jon Flanagan also started.
