3 Places To Up Your Kitchen Game In Canada
A friend who just got back from an Alps-to-Amalfi trip to Italy came back staggered by the unmanageable heat, the massive crowds and the Fellini-esque sight of giant cruise ships plying the Grand Canal.
Crowds are not my thing, so I usually summer right here in Canada. Our summers may be short, but the weather's fine. It's a beautiful time to travel. And no matter where I go, I mix in some culinary tourism along the way. This summer I checked out a few cooking classes, from French pastry in Montreal to regional specialties in Vancouver.
My kitchen game needed a reset and besides, cooking classes are a fun way to find out more about a place, learn new techniques and meet new people -- all in a short period of time.
Just desserts in Old Montreal
I wandered into La Maison Christian Faure on Place Royale in Old Montreal and felt like I had landed somewhere far away. This chic patisserie, all thick stone walls, cozy tables, and a gorgeous display of elegant desserts, is like a flash of France right here in Canada.

Everything is made in the downstairs atelier of the 300-year-old building at 355 Place Royale, across from the Pointe-À-Callière Museum. And upstairs, in the state-of-the-art professional pastry school, Lyon-born Chef Christian Faure gives "Serious Amateurs" classes for people whose day jobs are far from the kitchen.

With six hours of demos and hands-on preparation of iconic French desserts like éclairs, macarons, sorbets and even the towering croquembouche, this place is the real deal.
Sleepover and cookery in Prince Edward County
Foodie hotspot Prince Edward County is one of my favourite weekend getaways, and I found an ideal package at the Waring House Inn: an overnight stay, a meal or two, and a cooking class with local-born Chef Jordon McGinnis. I knew the historic property outside Picton would be a great base for exploring the County, with its wineries, art tours and the beaches of Sandbanks Provincial Park.

The Waring House cookery school and guest lodges are clustered near the original inn, an 1860s limestone farmhouse. I got a lodge room with a balcony, snagged a window table at the main restaurant, Amelia's Garden, and returned the next day for breakfast before class.
Our focus was grilling techniques, with sides for outdoor entertaining. Hands-on, we made buttermilk cornbread; warm asparagus with pancetta, pine nuts and leek; a divine potato salad and a sweet chile barbeque sauce. Then Chef Jordon demonstrated techniques for grilling maple-glazed salmon, sous-vide-prepped steak, and chicken with the sweet chile sauce: nothing fancy, just well-prepared and delicious.

"We'll focus on ways you can look at average dishes and really improve them," he told us from the get-go. "The simpler a dish is, the harder it is. You don't have a lot of ingredients to hide behind."
We cooked in teams, two to a workstation, and learned a lot. This class was as relaxed and enjoyable as a weekend house party coming together to cook a Sunday lunch.
Regional cuisine in Vancouver
Vancouver, with its vibrant food and craft beer culture, has cooking classes galore. The Dirty Apron, a gourmet deli famous for its cooking school and best-selling cookbook, has dozens of hands-on classes every month, with many themed for couples, singles, kids or teens.

I decided to take it easy with a new demo-and-dine class called "Friday Night Bites." And bonus: Chef David Robertson, the Dirty Apron's owner and cookbook author, teaches the class himself.
"It's got a smaller price point and is more relaxed. It's a great night out for people who don't want to cook, but would like to enjoy a few glasses of wine and a good dinner," he said.
Before the class, I caught the new "Picasso: The Artist and His Muses" show, on until Oct. 2 at the Vancouver Art Gallery, then strolled over to the Crosstown district.

When I took a seat at one of the Dirty Apron's communal tables, I was really ready to sit quietly and sample Chef David's fabulous food. But watching him wave his hands, talk, ask questions and dispense tips as he whipped up some of B.C.'s finest regional cuisine, like halibut cheeks, shellfish, even duck from the farms of the Fraser Valley, turned out to be as entertaining as watching a professional magician at a private party.

Teens learn life lessons from underage drinking busts
More than 20 teenagers and young adults are facing charges after getting busted for drinking alcohol in Hancock County.
Police caught them this weekend when officers raided two parties - one in Greenfield and one in McCordsville. Investigators say this is the time of year for underage drinking, so their hotline has never been more important.
"I didn't even drink that much," said Alexa Lux Grimes, who was arrested at one of the parties. "I knew going into it that I was going to take the blame for it if I got caught, because it was my decision to act out."
Grimes is one of eight adult teenagers who were arrested around midnight Saturday. They had music, fun and a bonfire in a backyard pit where people continued to drink. Christian Howland, who organized the party, says since some teens brought their own alcohol, deputies gave him a break.
"Thankfully, they gave me a verbal warning and told me not to let it happen again," he said.
"People that were invited started bringing their friends and that is how it exploded into the party that it ultimately became," said 21-year-old Matt Sesux.
Hancock County deputies are on the lookout for these types of parties. Major Brad Burkhart says calls to their underage drinking hotline increase because of end of the school year celebrations.
"Most of the kids in the county realize that we are not here and we are not playing," Burkhart said. "They will go to jail."
Although the teenagers spent only one night in jail, they admit the lessons they've learned from underage drinking is something that will last a lifetime.

As this occurs, upper level ridging will begin to approach from the west later today and tonight. NAM soundings show steep low-level lapse rates and with upper level cold pool still lingering across the area, a few showers will remain possible today, but coverage will be more spotty with decreasing influence from the upper low. Any showers will dissipate by late afternoon with the surface high building overhead tonight into Thursday. Clearing should begin to work into the region tonight with some diurnal cumulus development possible on Thursday along with an increase in high clouds. With moist ground and light winds, some fog development could occur late tonight depending on how much clearing occurs. With more sunshine, after a few days in the upper 50s to low 60s, highs on Thursday should reach near 70 in most areas with light winds. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Tuesday) Issued at 310 AM CDT Wed May 24 2017 Late this week through the Memorial Day weekend, an upper low initially centered over the southern Canadian prairies Thursday night will gradually sink south and eastward into the Great Lakes region through the weekend. Model guidance has indicated that a few shortwaves embedded in west/southwest flow ahead of the upper trough will traverse portions of the Upper Midwest Thursday night into Saturday. At least a few showers/storms are possible by Thursday night into Friday as low-level warm advection develops with increasing deep layer moisture in association with the approaching shortwave energy. On Saturday, the 24.00Z ECMWF would keep the majority of the area dry while the GFS brings a shortwave up into the area with at least some rain threat. Temps on Friday/Saturday will be near seasonal norms in the low to mid 70s. As the upper trough rotates southeastward into the Midwest Sunday into early next week, there will be periodic showers/storms, likely at least partially diurnally driven due to proximity to the upper low. Although there are chances for precip for many periods through the holiday weekend, plenty of dry hours are likely, and the periods of higher rain chances will continue to be refined. A relatively cool northwest flow pattern will persist into the early to middle part of next week with highs mainly in the 60s. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 1226 PM CDT Wed May 24 2017 Cigs to continue gradually lifting with some diurnal warming/mixing this afternoon, to vfr by late afternoon.

Chieftains will play in regional final
By Thomas Franz
Posted October 22, 2013
After an upset win over the top-ranked team in the state in Troy Athens at the district finals, Utica did not let up in its regional semifinal against Macomb Dakota.
Matt Wilkie netted the only goal in the contest with 36 minutes left to give the Chieftains a 1-0 victory. Joe Zaremski assisted the goal.
Peter Gjini made six saves to record the shutout for Utica (17-5-3).
"We didn't play our best, but we persevered and scored. I'm proud of them because we won the game and at this point that's all that matters," Utica coach Carl Territo said.
Utica will move onto to play Bloomfield Hills at Grosse Pointe North in a regional final on Friday at 5:00 p.m. Macomb Dakota finished the year with a record of 17-2-2.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN - A Review By The Mighty Asterisk
I just got back from the Midnight Showing of The Amazing Spider-Man, Marc Webb's little indie super-hero flick, and see what I have to say about it. A little spoilers, but nothing to freak out about.
Filed Under: "
Okay, I've stated my opinion to a few people that while I liked the Raimi movies when I was younger, I don't like them as much now. They're okay, but not exactly what I want when I see a movie with the name "Spider-Man" on it. Does The Amazing Spider-Man do this? Well...Sort of.
Let this be known, before anything: Regardless of what the source material might be, The Amazing Spider-Man IS a good movie. A very good one at that. But as a Spider-Man film? It's odd. It's unlike any super-hero movie I've seen in a lot of ways. It focuses more on human emotions rather than straight up super-hero action, which is good. But it also causes the movie to drag and slow down, especially the first act. You're just staring at the screen bored, saying, "Yes, I know how he becomes Spider-Man, I want to see him BE Spider-Man. This demonstrates that the film really shouldn't be an origin story because, frankly, that's ground we've already covered. The most disappointing thing about that is it doesn't even tell the origin in an interesting fashion. The closest it comes is adding depth to the parents' "disappearance" but really that adds up to nothing. But really, the more I think about this film, the more I'm disappointed.
A lot of people complained that Prometheus was sequel bait. It might have been (No, I didn't see it) but if you want a movie that is just BEGGING for a sequel, look no further than The Amazing Spider-Man. Nothing happens, it's all build up. It is a shame, because I really, really had high hopes for this to be a great Spidey story, but it ended up just being set-up. But let's take a break from all this bashing, because I start to forget this is a movie I actually liked.
First off, I never had a problem with Spider-Man's suit. From the moment I saw it, I was like, "That's colorful, that's what I need from a Spidey suit." Sure, the eyes look a little odd, but it actually really works in the movie. Unless you've seen the movie, you have NO idea how well this suit works, especially with the breathtaking CGI incorporated by Webb and Crew. The film was made for 3D, and you can tell. Almost every shot takes a shot at showing the capabilities of the 3D, and it makes it into its own art form. Really, I liked this 3D better than Avatar's 3D.
Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man. At first, I loathed the casting because, frankly, I didn't see this guy as the role. He looked a little too weird for it and just not what I saw in the character, but some of this might have been fueled bythe fact that I didn't like The Social Network. But as soon as the clip with Spider-Man confronting the car thief came online, I was hooked. Andrew Garfield is Spider-Man. Period. Tobey was pretty good, sure, but Garfield has the right attitude and humor required (and humor was something a little lacking in the previous films, surprisingly). Overall, I thought he was the best thing about the movie and if it can ever be figured out, he'd be a welcome addition to a future Avengers movie.
Emma Stone is one of those actresses who I think is good, but just a little overblown. I mean, yeah, I haven't seen Easy A, but she was pretty good in Zombieland and Superbad. But I still hadn't been too exposed, or impressed really, with what I had seen of her. Her as Gwen Stacy...doesn't really change that, really. She was good sure, but she had nothing to do. She didn't even get kidnapped or anything, she was just kind of...there. She had good chemistry with Andrew Garfield, sure, but even that romance led to nothing. But the whole "leading to nothing" thing...I'll get to that.
Rhys Ifans as The Lizard is a very polarized performance in my opinion. Sure, he was overacting in some parts (But to be fair, in a couple of scenes, Garfield does too), but there was also something very special to his role. He added some humanity to it, he gave Connors a human element. As for the actual Lizard creature...ehh. The CGI on him was pretty good, but his mouth looked really strange, it was a little too wide. His voice kind of contradicted the face too, but that's not really my big problem with The Lizard in this film, and this actually leads into my main problem with the film in general. Be warned, we're delving into a little spoilerish territory here.
This villain does nothing. Nothing. At. All. He doesn't even kill that many people, in fact, he only kills one. He attacks the high school, but the worst that happens is that he tears it up a bit. He even infects the SWAT team with the cross species genetics gas, and turns them into Lizard people, but you never actually see them until they turn BACK into humans! The Lizard doesn't get a single victory in this film, and since he doesn't get the chance to shine as a real bad guy, he isn't actually a villain, he's an obstacle. Yes, he kills a major character, but really that's ALL he does. It isn't even really a victory for him since that wasn't what he was trying to accomplish and in the end, you know that Connors regretted it. So in a way, that's my main point. This film doesn't even have a villain, it has a character with antagonistic properties that Spider-Man does away with pretty easily without too many consequences. Neither character really learns anything, it's just a sub-boss. And it makes the entire movie feel like a lead-in to an inevitable sequel.
So in the end, what did I think? Well, as a Spider-Man and visual effects fan, I really dug it. As a critic, I didn't like as much as I wished I had. This isn't the story we want to hear, it's the boring prequel comic that comes out before the movie. Still, do I regret going to see it? Not at all. I saw it on a huge screen with something like 600 people at midnight, and I enjoyed myself.
Also, that mid-credits scene made no sense.

The words "Oh Shit!" written in giant black type will dominate a double page spread in ad rag Campaign today. But why, pray tell? It could easily be a succinct summary of the general mood of the industry in 2009 which lost 1,500 staff, the worst hit since 1991, as finance and HR departments furiously cut staff while clients bid sayonara to their marketing budgets. The truth is quite the opposite, it seems. Integrated agency Iris is running the ad as part of a recruitment drive (remember those?) for 57, yes 57, new staff. In a slightly smarmy way the ad is obviously a bit of unsubtle PR lording it over rivals, but what more should we expect in the dog-eat-dog world of Mad Men? While Christmas parties were being cancelled across Soho, it seems Iris snaffled a string of valuable new clients. Whatever next, that rare beast – a pay rise – or the ultimate endangered species, outside banking of course, a staff bonus?

New Movie Poster For 'Robocop' (2014)
Reported by Outsiders - 2013.11.08
Oops! Even we make mistakes because we posted the new Robocop trailer and forgot to present the new Robocop movie poster.
In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years and it's meant billions for OmniCorp's bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees its chance to build a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.
RoboCop is directed by Jose Padilha and stars Joel Kinnaman, Abbie Cornish, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael K. Williams, Jay Baruchel, Jennifer Ehle, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste.

By ADAM CLYMER,
Published: March 19, 1993
WASHINGTON, Friday, March 19— The House of Representatives, in a late-night session, gave President Clinton two major victories as overwhelming Democratic majorities passed first his plan to cut the deficit and then his jobs bill, designed to foster short-term economic stimulus.
Early today, at 12:38 A.M., a 235-to-190 vote sent the $16 billion jobs measure to the Senate. That bill had been challenged by some conservative Democrats who doubted its ability to spur the economy, but in the end only 22 Democrats deserted their party.
About three and a half hours earlier, the House voted 243 to 183 to pass Mr. Clinton's plan to curb the deficit by raising taxes and cutting spending. Only 11 Democrats voted against the plan after Representative Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri, the majority leader, told the House the plan would strengthen the nation. "I think we have a President who has a plan," he said. "You may not agree with it, but I think he deserves a chance." Limits on Total Spending
The budget resolution sets limits on total spending and taxation, with the expectation that it will reduce the deficit, now about $300 billion, to below $200 billion by the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, 1996. Under the procedures of the Congressional Budget Act, votes on specific tax increases and spending cuts will come this summer.
The budget resolution deals with tax and spending decisions affecting the fiscal year that begins this October. The emergency spending bill, once it makes its way through the Senate and is signed by the President, would make money available immediately.
A majority of the House followed the arguments of members like Representative Carrie Meek, a Florida Democrat who said: "Vote for this stimulus package. It's an investment in America." Need to Create Jobs
And Representative David Bonior, the Democratic whip from Michigan, advised: "Stay with the President. Stay with his total package."
Besides calling wavering lawmakers, Mr. Clinton defended his economic measures publicly on Thursday, describing those who asked that it be cut back as the "status-quo lite" crowd. He said in a speech to Treasury Department employees, "Frankly, I think if we do a little less of everything -- we have a little less deficit reduction, a little less spending cut, a little less tax cut, a little less investment -- we'll get a lot less in results."
"We've got to create jobs on our own here," he said. "That's what the stimulus package is about."
The Democrats achieved remarkable unity in the early voting. None abandoned their party on the vote that set procedures for considering the measure. Only three deserted their leaders to support a plan offered by Representative John R. Kasich, Republican of Ohio, that sought to cut the deficit without any tax increases. Taxes account for almost half the approximately $500 billion in the Democratic plan's deficit cutting over five years. The Kasich plan was also opposed by 41 Republicans as it lost, 295 to 135.
The Democrats' unity will be repeatedly tested throughout the spring and summer as the general provisions of the budget resolution are translated into painful votes to cut popular programs and increase taxes. As Representative Robert H. Michel of Illinois, the Republican leader, said, "The real budget work will be done in the trenches of our committees."
Even so, the resolution's overall limits on spending and taxes erect solid walls within which other Congressional committees must operate. It also offers a nonbinding plan on how to achieve its deficit cuts. The committees can choose different priorities, as long as they reach the same result. But the budget plan provides those committees with political cover for doing unpopular things.
While the House voted, the Senate debated a very similar resolution. Both the House and Senate measures would cut domestic spending slightly more than Mr. Clinton proposed, changes that he accepted quickly. The differences between the two proposed resolutions are small enough so that agreement in a House-Senate conference should not be difficult, and Congress may be able to meet its goal of adopting a final resolution before it takes an Easter vacation on April 2. Week of Debate
Senate rules provide 50 hours of debate on the budget resolution, so decisive action is not expected before next week. Nor will the Senate vote on both the budget and stimulus methods in a single day, a device House leaders developed so that lawmakers can have flexibility in describing their votes to constituents this weekend.
There is also some uncertainty in the Senate over the $16 billion spending program, and Senator Herb Kohl, Democrat of Wisconsin, announced Thursday that he would try to balance some of it with additional spending cuts. He said he would try to amend the spending bill, but House leaders blocked his amendment from floor consideration on Thursday.
The Senate did take one significant vote on Thursday, defeating an effort led by Senator Don Nickles, Republican of Oklahoma, to eliminate authority for Mr. Clinton's proposed energy tax from the resolution. That vote was 53 to 46.
The House went on to the spending bill only after bitter Republican complaints against the "tyranny" of Democrats in controlling procedures and writing procedural rules that denied the minority the chance to offer any amendments.
They sought repeatedly to cut back on such items as $3 billion for highway construction, $1 billion for summer youth jobs, $4 billion for unemployment benefits, $2.5 billion for community development block grants, $2.6 billion for small business loans and $1.9 billion for college grants.
Representative David Dreier, Republican of California, said, "This gag rule is a clear reflection of a Democratic leadership that opposes open debate, that scoffs at fiscal responsibility, and that pays nothing more than lip service to the rights of peoples' representatives in Congress."
Thursday's debate in the House provided the same sort of oratory that has accompanied votes on these issues for several years.
But if the arguments were old, some of the voices were new.
Representative Eva Clayton, the North Carolina Democrat elected by her party's 63 freshmen to be their leader, called the vote on the Clinton budget "a chance to move America and move it in the right direction."
Representative Deborah Pryce, a freshman Republican from Ohio, disagreed. "Raising taxes on Americans is not the answer," she said. "Higher taxes lead to greater spending, not deficit reduction."
Some familiar voices were also heard with familiar arguments. "This is indeed a defining moment between the two parties," Mr. Michel said. "Democrats prefer to raise taxes on practically everyone, and Republicans do not."
Another Democratic freshman, Representative Cynthia McKinney of Georgia, challenged that definition. Under Republicans, she said, "Government serves the needs of a few of us at the expense of the rest of us."
Representative Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of Brooklyn, said, "What makes our budget the best is that it can pass, and we're doing something about the deficit."
With one exception, all of the representatives from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut voted along party lines. The exception was Representative Robert E. Andrews, a Democrat from Bellmawr, N.J., who sided with Republicans. He said he voted against the President's budget plan because it included five years of new taxes. But he said he supported the economic stimulus package because it would create jobs and pay for itself.
While Republicans challenged the plan for its proposed taxes and military cuts, the Congressional Black Caucus offered an alternative plan that would have cut military spending more heavily to provide more money for domestic spending and foreign aid to countries like Somalia.
Barbara Rose Collins, Democrat of Michigan, said the caucus's package would "create jobs, feed children and educate our children."
The plan was defeated by a vote of 335 to 87.
House action was repeatedly delayed by Representative Dan Burton, Republican of Indiana, who forced at least four insubstantial roll-call votes that took up at least an hour and a half. He said he did so because the Democratic leaders had not allowed the House to consider a proposed budget of his as a possible substitute. It would have allowed Federal spending to grow by no more than 2 percent a year, and he said it would have led to more than $800 billion in budget cuts over five years.
He explained his delaying tactics in these terms: "If a guy pushes you around the schoolyard and you punch him in the mouth just one time, sometimes he gets the idea that it's better to work with you than against you."
Representative Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, suggested that Mr. Burton was being "petulant and puerile."

After dropping two dress sizes during training for reality show Strictly Come Dancing, Kate Garraway's return to the GMTV sofa appears to have coincided with a growth in the blonde presenter's girth.
Kate was seen leaving work recently looking somewhat rounder than she has for some time.
Her participation in Strictly Come Dancing involved hours of energetic dance training, which is in stark contrast to her day job which is far less athletic.
Scroll down for more...
And as a result of the daily dance workouts she dropped from a size 12 to a trim size 8-10.
However, following her exit from the show last year fitness is again low on the agenda.
Kate said at the time: "I'm now an 8-10 rather than a 12. My muscles are unbelievably toned and taut. I don't think my bottom has ever been so trim.
"Maybe that come from six weeks of being told to dance like a hooker!"
Scroll down for more...
She also admitted that she had low fitness levels before training started, to add to the lack of dance experience, which suggests she no lover of a daily gym workouts.
But with a full seven-hour day at work, starting at 2.30am when she leaves home to present from the GMTV sofa, and 18-month-old daughter Darcey, maybe a two-hour workout is not high on her list of priorities.
Scroll down for more...
She even planned to seduce him by wearing nothing more than a fur coat.
She said: "I saw a film once. This woman went to meet her lover in a delicatessen at midnight wearing just a fur coat – nothing underneath," she confided.
"I thought it was unbelievably sexy. I'd love to do something like that."Reuse content

UPPER PROVIDENCE Ś Anyone who witnessed it wonĺt soon forget it.
It was Week Four of the scholastic football season a year ago when Pope John Paul II High traveled to Methacton High School to take on the Warriors.
The Golden Panthers were coming off a challenging three-week start to their season, which included losses to Berks Catholic, Pottsgrove and Spring-Ford, and were looking to getting into the win column for the first time.
But good luck would continue to elude them.
PJP lost its starting quarterback, James Bleming, to a broken collarbone early in the second period of the game, and then the teamĺs fortunes went from bad to disastrous.
In the third quarter, Nick Howarth, one of the teamĺs running backs, was returning a kick when a gruesome collision took place.
ôIt was rough,ö recalled PJP head coach Mike Santillo. ôNick was going at full tilt, and he ran into a (Methacton) kid who was running full tilt, and immediately you knew something wasnĺt right.
ôNick is one of those tough kids who always pops up after a hit. And he didnĺt pop right up.ö
Howarth stayed down, losing consciousness momentarily, and ultimately left the field on a gurney, having to be airlifted from the field.
The miraculous part of the story is that not only did Howarth return five weeks later to play in the Panthersĺ game against Perkiomen Valley, but heĺs back again this season just as intense and ready for another season.
ôI was just airlifted as a precaution, taken to Penn,ö Howarth said of the incident. ôIt turned out I only had a concussion and I was out three weeks.
ôThe day I was released from the hospital, I felt fine. I just had some post-concussion symptoms, like a reaction to light, some dizziness and some short-term memory loss. And once those symptoms went away, I knew Iĺd be fine.ö
Howarth said he remembers most of what happened, once he regained consciousness.
ôI remember waking up, confused and dazed, but I couldnĺt move for about 30 seconds,ö he recalled. ôAs soon as the (team physicians) moved my arms, got the feeling back.ö
ôFortunately, the doctors, ours and (Methactonĺs), handled it properly,ö Santillo said. ôThey knew exactly the right things to do in that situation.ö
Still, it took Howarth some time to be cleared to play.
ôI really didnĺt start practicing until the Thursday we played Perkiomen Valley (in Week Nine),ö Howarth said. ô(Linebacker) Kirk Cherneskie broke his hand in that game and I went in for him.
ôI was a little shaky at first, but I got back into it.ö
ôI think it helped that both of the communities, for both schools, got involved and were sending him well wishes,ö Santillo said. ôHeĺs a great kid from a great family and tough as nails, and he worked his tail off to get back.
ôYou look at Nick now and heĺs thicker and in better shape than he was last year. Heĺs ready for the season.ö
Looking back on his recovery, Howarth said heĺs thrilled to be back on the field.
ôI love it,ö he said. ôWe have a new defense this year, and we believe itĺs going to work. And Iĺm happy to be a part of it.ö

Would think the second most used weapon is the Hunting Rifle ? Hell even i started using it, pretty much the first time i tried to play as a sniper in any game i played.
The Bow user base might be close to it tho, but i really rarely encounter burst rifles.
Re: Live Update- Weapons Balancing
Honestly, I think this was the completely wrong way to go about balancing this game.
The hunting rifle buff, was darn near perfect and the adjustments instantly caused many players I know to now fully incorporate it into their load outs.
I have nearly instantly noticed the accuracy with the sar dropping.
Bullets now missing targets at medium range where the gun is suppose to fit right in.
I really don't understand why ND took this route, especially with their history in ruining guns for their multi players.
The hunting rifle should excel at very long range, which it does.
If your running around the map trying to quick scope players at close range and your losing to the sar, whose fault is that?
The buff to the hunting rifle brought it from long range to slightly closer to medium range field with the last buff, which seems to really make it a weapon that suits more than just a special purpose.
I'm fine with that.
The sar did exactly what it should do as a semi auto rifle, do any of you guys actually play games other than ND games to see how other games balance weapons?
Nerfing a gun isn't a solution to other guns not fitting their roles correctly!
The burst rifle should be the main choice on closer combat maps, but its really not.
Why choose the burst rifle when the sar is clearly better.
Because the burst rifle is NOT doin its job as a close quarter weapon.
I really worry about the future of ND games when it comes to multi players they just dont have it figured out.
You don't balance guns and game play by implementing things just to make them frustrating to use.
You guys on here and you every things op mentality is unbelievable.
Many whined and cried about explosive expert being tooo OP!
YOU don't even know if some one is wearing it!
It wasn't explosive expert, its the AMOUNT of mollies the other team has! Not a booster.
That booster just makes them more effective not give you more of them.
I swear some people don't even think, or just are completely blinded by their rage\hate towards other players play styles that they want every thing useless unless they are currently using it.
I still get killed constantly from moltovs that aren't even remotely near me, or end up dodging players with 2-3 mollies in a clip. Yet everyone whined it was explosive expert?
Explosive expert means nothing when they throw three mollies at you!
Why don't some of you also try this, go to a custom match let your friends kill you 5 or s6 times and have them buy armor.
Then throw a NON explosive expert mollie at one of them. Watch how your mollie now removes their armor and downs them.
Have another friend throw a mollie at you wearing armor, while your running a negative score. See some thing odd?
Seems the welfare system is there a bit more than we imagined.
I have moved to using a revolver only load out with purchaseables or more better boosters and am pulling scores higher than just using the sar.
I said this would happen and you will see more players doing it as they realize how good this is.
I have a 3.5 kdr with 300ppm stats on my main acct. I don't quit, don't boost, and don't always play with full parties of even better than average players.
99% of my deaths are always from molotovs, not the sar, not the hunting rifle, not the burst rifle, not anything else.
This number, YES is from me actually keeping track of my own deaths and what killed me.
I always die from a mollie from a player that is running a bad score, it always takes my armor off and executes me.
Now a player doing really good on the other team? I take those hits and get away.
Some thing else is going on with the mollies.

Radiation Therapy for Melanoma
Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors. In general, radiation therapy is not useful for treating melanoma. In some cases, it may be used after surgery to prevent the spread or recurrence of cancer. Radiation therapy may be useful in easing symptoms created by metastatic melanoma.
If radiation therapy is an option, a radiation oncologist will customize the treatment dose for individual needs. The goal is to try and kill as much cancer as possible while minimizing harm to healthy tissue.
External Beam Radiation
In external beam radiation therapy, a machine directs high-energy rays through the body and into the tumor. The radiation oncologist will discuss options, doses, and frequency of radiation so that the highest amount of radiation can be delivered to the cancer with as little impact on healthy tissue as possible.
|Radiation of a Tumor
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of external radiation therapy. This method allows delivery of higher doses of radiation because it can precisely deliver it to the tumor and not healthy tissue. The precise delivery may also require fewer doses than traditional radiation therapy.
Side Effects and Management
Complications of radiation therapy depend on where it is directed, and may include:
- Chest complications:
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
- Problems swallowing or eating
- Abdominal and pelvic complications:
- Bladder irritation—may cause blood in the urine, or pain or burning during urination
- Anal or rectal irritiation—may cause blood in the stool, pain during bowel movements, or stool leakage
- Vaginal dryness— may cause discomfort during intercourse
- Erectile dysfunction
- Infertility—talk to your doctor about options to preserve fertility before starting treatment
A variety of treatments are available to help manage side effects of radiation therapy, such as dry, irritated skin, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue due to anemia. Sometimes adjustments to treatment doses may also be possible. The earlier side effects are addressed, the more likely they will be controlled with a minimum of discomfort.

Chapter Four - Study BuddiesMature
The fact that Harry Potter and Luna Lovegood were dating did not turn out to be the biggest news sweeping Hogwarts the next day. Both Jimmy and Ritchie were both shocked to hear that fellow Gryffindor and Quidditch team mate Katie Bell had been cursed on her way back from Homemade, and taken to St Mungo's Hospital. Though no one appeared to fully know what had happened, this left a lot of the younger students in particular quite frightened and it was instantly noticeable that security had tightened within the castle as well.
It definitely put a halt to the euphoria for Jimmy, after he had been on such a high since yesterday when he and Ritchie had managed to kindle a beginning of a friendship with Ginny Weasley during the several hours of conversation in the Three Broomsticks. He had caught himself being very selfish, wishing that he could bask in the glory of spending his entire Saturday talking freely and openly about Quidditch with the girl he had a crush on instead of being terribly worried for Katie.
'Maybe there's a little human decency left in you after all,' Ritchie had said after he confided this to him.
In the weeks following the incident with Katie, many of the younger students preferred to travel in packs from class to class, vying for the old saying of safety in numbers. But unfortunately this left them vulnerable to Peeves, who considered the opportunity too good to miss, and he was seen spending most of his days following behind these packs and throwing Dungbombs into the middle of them.
'Look at the ickle-first-years scram!' he shrieked in happiness, following the screams of the first-years up and down the corridors.
'I understand why they are still frightened,' Jimmy said casually to Ritchie after they witnessed Peeves do this to one petrified looking group of Ravenclaws. 'But they must forget where they are sometimes. Hogwarts is as safe as you can get, you're not going to get cursed inside these walls.'
'It almost happened,' Ritchie pointed out, 'she was on her way into Hogwarts, wasn't she?'
'Doesn't matter,' Jimmy said, 'it didn't happen inside these walls and it never will.'
'They don't seem so certain,' Ritchie pointed out, as yet another group of second-year students, this time all girls, passed by them in the other direction with Peeves tailing not far behind them, armed at the ready.
As they ascended to Gryffindor tower to fetch their broomsticks in anticipation of Quidditch practice, they did stumble across one young first-year girl who did not appear to be travelling with friends in a pack. She had stopped by the tapestry that depictured dancing Trolls, and appeared to be struggling to keep a grip on the brass scales that were almost as large as her.
Being the perfect gentleman they were, Jimmy and Ritchie went straight past without a second glance, and came face to face with the Fat Lady.
'Dilligrout,' Jimmy said before turning to Ritchie, 'I have to say, I'm quite nervous about tonight - Ginny sort of knows us now, I don't think I could get away with staring at her as much.'
'So don't stare then,' Ritchie suggested, climbing through the portrait first.
'Why would I not?' Jimmy debated.
And the debate continued, all the way up to their dormitory, and then all the way back down through the castle and the front lawns. The winds from the fierce storm they had had two weeks ago still lingered, so it was still a little blustery for practice, but the sun was out, much of the snow that littered the grounds had gone and the temperature was just right for the early evening.
It was the first practice session since Katie had been cursed, Harry had explained to the group briefly in the days after that he was not yet prepared to count her out of their next match just yet, and so they would be practicing as usual but with one Chaser short. But as the first game of the season against Slytherin was fast approaching, their predicament was, would the team be affected by having one short during practice?
Quite a while after Jimmy and Ritchie had changed into their Quidditch robes, Ginny arrived, a wry smile spread across her face when she saw them. Just like it had in Hogsmeade, Jimmy's stomach gave an almighty lurch as if he'd missed a step on a flight of stairs, and could scarcely manage a half-smile back as Ginny moved to her locker and prepared to change.
'Aren't you both very keen?' she said in amusement, beginning to take off her school robes. 'I haven't really seen you two much since Hogsmeade, how have you been?'
Ritchie glanced sideways at his friend, Jimmy seemed incapable of responding, his hands were on his knees and his knuckles were very white - Ginny was standing there so casually, in just her underwear.
'We're good,' Ritchie said finally, deciding to talk for both of them, he was careful to keep eye contact however briefly, 'we've been busy with homework, I'm sure you understand, you're taking your OWLs.'
'It's a nightmare,' Ginny assured him, nodding and turning away from them to fetch her Quidditch robes from her locker.
Jimmy took this ample opportunity to lean sideways toward Ritchie.
'Dude, plain white underwear,' he said ecstatically whilst Ritchie shook his head at him, 'nice!'
Ginny turned back around just in time to miss Jimmy lean back into position; both boys pretended to be mindlessly tapping their clubs on the backs of their legs and looking pointedly at the floor.
'Maybe we could study together one night,' she suggested, making them both look up at her, 'help each other out if we can?'
Jimmy and Ritchie both nodded their agreement, but were rather unsure what to say next. It deemed appropriate however that the rest of the team suddenly arrived, and before they knew it, they were flying out against the cool winds.
'Will you get these off the table please? You're going to get chocolate all over my essay!'
It was the week before the first Quidditch match of the season, Jimmy and Ritchie sat in their little corner in the Gryffindor common room, huddled together, attempting a last ditch effort to complete their essays on the Goblin Rebellion for History of Magic. Ritchie had just emptied the last of his unopened Chocolate Frogs onto the small table they shared, which two long parchments, three large books and an assortment of smaller and less-detailed books already occupied.
It might have been early in the evening, but as their essay's were due in tomorrow, and they had barely even started, a long night and short tempers ensured.
'Where else am I going to put them, Jimmy?' he asked matter-of-factly, 'on the floor?'
'How about back in your bag?' Jimmy suggested strangely, as if he could barely believe Ritchie did not think of this as the obvious solution. 'If we were doing an essay on public figures featured on Chocolate Frog cards then yes, obviously it would be appropriate, but not for Goblins-'
'These are all I have left,' Ritchie gestured to the two dozen or so now scattered across their table, 'I want to get through them whilst we work - you're very welcome to have one if you like.'
Jimmy gave them a such a reproachful look, it was as if they had just insulted his mother.
'If I eat one more of those things, I'll die of poisoning,' Jimmy hissed through gritted teeth.
About an hour went by without much more of an argument, they did talk however as they attempted to band together a single essay between them, so that one of them could add synonym here and there, so that they did not look too identical. But just when they had began to make even the slightest of in-roads, a delightful smell filled their nostrils, forcing them to look up and find the source of it.
'Oh my,' came a voice from somewhere behind them, 'which one of you has the chocolate addiction then?'
Ginny suddenly came into view, she had her backpack over her shoulder and was dragging a chair with her - a sweet smile appeared on her face as she sat down opposite and pulled her bag off her back and on the floor in front of her.
'Hi,' she said sweetly, pulling a book out of her bag and placing it on her knees.
'Ginny,' Jimmy breathed, his mind boggled very briefly, having just been thinking about Goblins.
'Thought we could be study buddies!' she said happily, before staring down at the limited space available on the table. 'Seriously though, what's with all the chocolate?'
'That'd be me,' Ritchie said sourly, making Ginny look at him, 'though it's not the chocolate I'm addicted too, or else I'd be as round as I am tall. I'm after the cards you see? I only need one more to complete the collection.'
Ginny raised an eyebrow. 'Impressive,' she said and Jimmy snorted. 'Which one do you need?'
'Cornelius Agrippa,' Ritchie said even more sourly, 'German bastard's been mocking me for two years now.'
'Ah yes, him,' Ginny nodded slowly, unfolding her book, 'yes, my dear brother needs him too. He needs quite a few of them though, if I remember correctly, and he'd be disappointed in me if I didn't try one of these-'
Without waiting for approval, she took a Chocolate Frog from the pile not yet opened, and opened it.
'Merlin,' Ginny sighed after she had bitten into the chocolate.
'What's wrong?' Jimmy asked suddenly, alarmed.
'That's who I got,' Ginny managed to say after swallowing the chocolate, 'see?'
She held up the card which, although clearly had "Merlin" written across the bottom, the portrait was empty.
'He's gone,' Ritchie said with amusement, turning back to his homework.
'Oh,' Ginny turned it back over to look at it, before placing it back on the table.
'You can keep it if you want,' Ritchie said to her without looking up, 'I have about a thousand of everyone already, no need for doubles.'
'So what subject are you boys working on?' Ginny asked, deciding to pick up one of their books to give room for herself.
'History of Magic,' Jimmy answered, because Ritchie was bent over and writing furiously, 'we've got an essay due tomorrow on the Goblin Rebellion, we don't fully understand it really-'
'Were getting there though,' Ritchie said positively, his head still bowed over his parchment.
'Which rebellion in particular?' Ginny asked.
Both Jimmy and Ritchie stopped; and then if in slow motion, fear set in and they looked up at her with the most puzzled of looks.
'There's more than one?' the both said in unison, forcing Ginny to stifle a giggle.
'Yes,' she said seriously, 'there were a series of them, didn't you know?'
Ritchie suddenly threw his quill down in anger, making Ginny jump a little - Jimmy merely looked down at his parchment, which had hardly been written anyway, and sighed.
'Maybe you two do need my help,' Ginny said, biting her lip and forcing herself not to laugh too hard.
'You know, it's a good thing we're playing our first game this week,' Ritchie said loudly, so that even a few other Gryffindor's nearby heard and looked around.
'I'm just going to walk out without padding on and without my bat on Saturday and pray the Bludger is strong enough to crack this thick skull of mine.'

Mix all the ingredients well so that the sponge has an even colour and texture. For added colour contrast, crumble some extra red velvet sponge over the cupcakes (makes 12).
© Peter Cassidy
The cupcake sponge
* 60g unsalted butter, at room temperature
* 150g caster sugar
* 1 egg
* 20g cocoa powder
* 40ml red food colouring
* ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
* 120ml buttermilk
* 150g plain flour
* ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
* 1½ teaspoons white vinegar
* A 12-hole cupcake tray, lined with paper cases
1. Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F/gas mark three.
2. Put the butter and the sugar in a freestanding electric mixer with a paddle attachment (or use a handheld electric whisk) and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy and well mixed.
3. Turn the mixer up to high speed, slowly add the egg and beat until everything is well incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, red food colouring and vanilla extract to make a very thick, dark paste. Add to the butter mixture and mix thoroughly until evenly combined and coloured (scrape any unmixed ingredients
from the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula).
5. Turn the mixer down to slow speed and slowly pour in half the buttermilk. Beat until well mixed, then add half the flour and beat until everything is well incorporated. Repeat this process until all the buttermilk and flour have been added. Scrape down the side of the bowl again.
6. Turn the mixer up to high speed and beat until you have a smooth, even mixture. Turn the mixer down to low speed and add the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. Beat until well mixed, then turn up the speed again and beat for a couple more minutes.
7. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until two-thirds full and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sponge bounces back when touched. A skewer inserted in the centre should come out clean.
8. Leave the cupcakes to cool slightly in the tray before turning out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
9. When the cupcakes are cold, spoon the cream cheese frosting on top (see below for recipe).
Cream Cheese Frosting
(makes enough to frost 12 cupcakes)
* 300g icing sugar, sifted
* 50g unsalted butter, at room temperature
* 125g cream cheese, cold
1. Beat the icing sugar and butter together in a freestanding electric mixer with a paddle attachment (or use a handheld electric whisk) on medium-slow speed until the mixture comes together and is well mixed.
2. Add the cream cheese in one go and beat until it is completely incorporated.
3. Turn the mixer up to medium-high speed. Continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy (at least five minutes). Do not overbeat, as it can quickly become runny.
Red velvet cake
To make a red velvet cake instead, double the quantities below, divide between three 20-cm cake tins and bake for 25 minutes at the same oven temperature. Frost with two quantities of cream cheese frosting.

I had my first pageant today, sick and all, which you would have known that I was getting ready for from this past post: http://www.collegetips.com/blog/pageant-rehearsal-639. If you can already tell by the tone of my writing, I lost. I hate losing. I really just want to win a pageant one day. It is my goal to win a title one year. But overall, it was a great experience and I am definitely doing this pageant again next year and I'm going to do a ton of other ones too. I really really want to win one. I just have really wanted to have a crown. I've always wanted to be a princess since I was little and I want to wear it around Disneyland to celebrate after, like my friend did. I really want to win at least princess next year and then I could go around with her and we could both be wearing our crowns.
Anyways, it was still a good experience like I said. I am so glad I did not spend too much money on this pageant. It was good practice for the future and it was just a fundraiser and not a huge actual expensive pageant, which would be much worse to lose in. I only spent $15 to rent a traditional dress and then I borrowed the evening gown and shoes from one of the freshmen that lives next door to me in my dorm. Other than that, I just recycled everything I already had, like shoes, make-up, and casual clothing. Next time, and for next year, I am going to ask for sponsors and donations for clothes and especially dresses. I also need to work on my first impressions. It was a mistake not talking more about my experiences. Sigh. It made me feel a little bit better when my boyfriend mentioned that the judges were being racist against me. Anyways, I don't want to talk about it anymore and yea, I can admit it, I'm a pretty sore loser. I will say alot more next time when I win. Bye.

Increasing numbers of tourists and tour operators are starting to say "no" to elephant trekking.
Riding on the back of an elephant in countries like Thailand and India has been seen as a way of getting close to both the elephants and the culture of these countries, but information about how these treks impact on the elephants has become more available.
These include:
- Elephants must be "tamed" before they can take part in treks – one of the traditional ways of doing this is a process called phajaan, or "crushing the spirit", which often involves beatings and keeping young elephants in small cages until they are broken.
- Young elephants are taken from the wild – often with the result of their mother being killed – to supply the tourist trade.
- Elephants, while strong, are not designed to carry heavy weights on their backs, so carrying tourists all day will be causing suffering.
- Conditions for many of these elephants will be hard and relentless, including long days and being chained when they are not working.
Last week, ResponsibleTravel.com announced it would no longer supply tours that involved elephant treks or performances, joining STA Travel and Intrepid Travel, which brought in similar bans in the last couple of months.
A study of Google searches on "elephant treks" as part of bucket lists shows that while 8 out of 10 of the top search results still recommend riding an elephant, 1 in 4 of those encourage people to only go on treks that don't harm the elephant.
The same search in 2000 showed 100% of the results recommended elephant trekking, with no mentions or awareness of the cruelty.
Philip Mansbridge, chief executive officer of Care for the Wild International, which runs the RIGHT-tourism.org website offering information on animal tourism, said: "Elephant trekking is another of those things we do on holiday without really thinking about it.
"Being up close with such a magnificent animal is quite overwhelming, so we don't stop to think about what it's doing there, how it got there or what happens to it at the end of the day. It seems though that, at last, tourists – and the tour operators who send them – are starting to see beyond the excursion for the truth that lies behind.
"Our key message through our RIGHT-tourism campaign is just that: stop and think.
"The sad thing is many of the people taking elephant rides will be animal lovers, so, in a warped way, they will be hurting the very thing they claim to love.
"But as the tide is turning against these treks, so the number of more ethical alternatives is increasing. We're not asking people to stop getting up close and personal with elephants, if that's what they want to do. We're asking them to go somewhere, such as a recognised sanctuary, where they can see or even interact with the elephants – but in a place where the animal's needs are put first."

|[jira] Updated: (LUCENE-2690) Do MultiTermQuery boolean rewrites per segment
|Fri, 08 Oct 2010 20:52:30 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2690?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Uwe Schindler updated LUCENE-2690: ---------------------------------- Attachment: LUCENE-2690.patch Updated patch, that also checks for duplicate terms in the fuzzy rewrite. This should be fine now, but we need to fix the FuzzyQuery tests to checks for multiple segments with the same terms that should fail with this patch. Maybe we need a separate MTQ tests that creates two IndexWriters which add documents with an overlapping term set to both indexes. Queries are then ran using MzultiReader, so we can control merging and make sure the term appears really in two "segments". I will work on a test for that. > Do MultiTermQuery boolean rewrites per segment > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2690 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2690 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 4.0 > Reporter: Uwe Schindler > Assignee: Uwe Schindler > Fix For: 4.0 > > Attachments: LUCENE-2690.patch, LUCENE-2690.patch > > > MultiTermQuery currently rewrites FuzzyQuery (using TopTermsBooleanQueryRewrite), the auto constant rewrite method and the ScoringBQ rewrite methods using a MultiFields wrapper on the top-level reader. This is inefficient. > This patch changes the rewrite modes to do the rewrites per segment and uses some additional datastructures (hashed sets/maps) to exclude duplicate terms. All tests currently pass, but FuzzyQuery's tests should not, because it depends for the minimum score handling, that the terms are collected in order.. > Robert will fix FuzzyQuery in this issue, too.

Story Behind this Recipe
For health and weight-loss reasons, if I can get away with it, I try not to use oil in my cooking whenever possible. Ground meat already has a lot of fat, so you can make this dish without adding any oil. If you are making this for kids, reduce the amount of doubanjiang and add some sugar.
