I broke the bridge on my glasses when visiting CederPoint amusement park. I needed the glasses to drive the 400 miles home. They fixed them on the spot with a smile. They also fixed the nose guards on the wife's glasses and all for free. The technician Nathan was so helpful. Many thanks to them.

APP OF THE DAY: Napster review (Android)1/11
We've given Napster our coveted App of the Day award before, but not in its Android version, and not since it was all change at the firm, and it merged into Rhapsody by its owner, US tech giant Best Buy.
It's worth noting too, that since the switch to being Rhapsody, Napster has changed significantly since the last time we looked at it. Its music library is now smaller than Spotify's at 18 million - Spotify claims 20 million, although it's hard to tell how many of those are either karaoke versions, cheap covers or Justin Bieber tracks and therefore not worthy of counting.
- Format
- Android
- Price
- Free
- Where
- Google Play
The first thing we noticed was that the app is a lot more responsive than the version we've used on Android in the past - we're talking a couple of years ago here. When you load it for the first time, you're presented with a simple screen that allows you to log in. Once done, you're on the main page with recommendations of what to listen to. There was some One Direction here, but no Katy Perry, strange, perhaps Napster wasn't told we'd be using the service.
A quick search and we found both Katy Perry and Carly Rae Jepsen. We suspect that search for Pink would have been a rip-roaring success too. We couldn't think of any tracks that weren't on the service, but there almost certainly are some artists who have opted not to be contained within the walls of the Napster library. Their loss.
You can download tracks too, should you be taking a trip somewhere that downloading via Wi-FI isn't practical, or if you're going on a plane. It's quick to get tracks too, so last-minute additions can be made just before you leave for the airport. If you don't need or want to download, then you can still build playlists
If you're not sure what you want to listen to, then there's always Napster's Artist radio option. Like all such services, just hit the name of an artist you like, and press the radio button and let Napster find similar tracks and artists for you. Groovy.
With sound quality we used to have major issues with Napster. However, based on the sample tracks we listened to for this test, we're very happy now. There's an HQ download option for the app, so you need to make sure that's selected to get the best out of the service, but the quality is easily as good as Spotify.
To use the mobile app, you'll need to subscribe to Napster's £10 a month package, there is a £5 version, but you can't use it on phones and it's limited to single-room audio systems and computers, useless for App of the Day! Still, at that price it matches nicely with Spotify, and the service and app are every bit as good. So now you have a choice, and that's grand.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Report Abuse
The CVNP has a very good website. We access the park from Akron so we tend to visit the southern part of the park. i live in the city but the park is just 5 miles from our home.
There are trails to hike and the very popular Towpath Trail. Lots of bikers on this trail every day but especially on the weekends. The trail is flat and runs along the river. You will see beaver, deer, birds, turkey, turtles. It's a great trail.
We like to ride to the town of Peninsula and have breakfast, lunch or ice cream at Fishers or the Winking Lizard, then you can head north to the Canal Visitor Center--and eventually to Cleveland.
There is a Great Heron Rookery on Bath Rd. Lots of heron nesting there. They have a very impressive wingspan.
A wonderful feature of the park is the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. For $2 one way, we can put our bikes on the train and ride to another part of the Towpath Trail--we head north and then ride our bikes back down the trail, south--or vicea versa.
Look at the train's website www.cvsr.com for lots of other events. They have been advertising a children's ride on weekends with Thomas the Tank. I believe they also offer a scenic ride on the train for $10 on Sat. and Sun.
Hale Farm and Village is a wonderful recreated village showing life in the Western Reserve in the mid 1800's. It is adjacent to the CVNP. They often are offering special weekend programming also.

Thanks for the input. We ended up hiking the Brandywine Gorge trail, 1.5 mile loop, as well as the Ledges Trail. Really liked the big rocks and Ice Box Cave.
Had we had more time, would have brought some bikes for the towpath trail, but this was all we could do in about 5 hours.

I know this post is more than a year old but does anyone have any recommendations for a good place to stay while visiting the park?

Tell me more about Peninsula. What is Fishers? Is the Brandywine Gorge Trail hard? I want something easy like maybe the Towpath? I'd like to go this Saturday, supposed to be nice and I live in Lake Co and have never been.
Report Abuse
Are the falls close to the parking lot, or do you hike to the falls?
Report Abuse
amelie, the Falls are only about 100 yards from the parking lot. A very nice easy walk. There are stairs but not a lot and you can take them easy if you choose. Fishers is a small restaurant in Pennisula with outdoor seating but this weekend might not lend itself to that. We like the Winking Lizard across the street.
Report Abuse
Thanks, maybe we'll check out the falls and go along the Towpath and then eat at Winking Lizard. Just looking at Fishers website and we'll see. We like Winking Lizard, we have one in Mentor.

Well we did what I had planned out and it was great! I can't wait to go back to CVNP.

Since its formation in 2006, André Brorsson and his Stars in Coma has released a prolific stream of albums and EPs, and toured several countries in Europe. The Malmö, Sweden-based band's productions, spanning seven full length albums to date, draw inspiration from a variety of genres, including guitar rock, disco, funk and electronic pop. The band's latest full-length album, the personal The Confessional Sun, was released in 2014 to rave reviews in both native Sweden and abroad. In the fall of 2017, André plans to release two new albums, Escapist Partisans and Defunct Summer.
US indie music site Obscure Sound has called the band's sound a mixture between "ABBA's orchestra-laden and punchy pop to the idiosyncrasies of contemporary Swedish songwriters, like Jens Lekman and Eric Berglund," while the She Turns the Tables music blog described them as a combination of "surf rock era Beatles, low fi bedroom ballad of Montreal, extraterrestrial psych rock Flaming Lips, and at times dropping a synth line you'd expect from the likes of MGMT".
Med sina sju fullängdsalbum har Malmö-baserade Stars in Coma sedan 2005 mutat in sitt eget hörn på den alternativa popscenen. Bandet, som turnerat flitigt runtom i Europa, har det senaste året hunnit släppa sin mest personliga skiva The Confessional Sun samt gjort sin USA-debut på anrika New York Popfest. Stars in Coma, som leds av André Brorsson, blandar ABBA-liknande popmelodier med en bitterljuv ljudbild som för tankarna till både 70-talsdisco och David Bowie.
Musically, as well as lyrically, Escapist Partisans is a strikingly introspective project. People who are already familiar with André's music know that his sense for melody never dwindles – few songwriters are as talented when it comes to composing dark hooks in the key of minor (take a listen to "Subtraction Exercises" for example) – but on this album, the atmospheric soundscapes, the impulsive chord sequences, and the sharp twists and turns are explored at an even deeper level than ever before.
It's like stepping aboard a meandering tour of the protagonist's subliminal house of mirrors, in which a new, oftentimes distorted, reflection of the mind appears behind every corner. Daniel Örtegren's strong saxophone efforts, such as in "Ten Years", create associations to the musical theme of Taxi Driver, during which the audience follows Travis Bickle's slow mental demise against the backdrop of a New York City in atrophy.
"I do not know what I'm writing about, but it seems to be about my selfish struggle," Andre laments in "The Victorian Sinkhole." It's about irrepressible inner voices, a narcissistic game that more often than not escalates into claustrophobia inside the subject's head. As we approach the last track on the album, "Chalet Saudade", there's a sudden turn, however: "I woke up to a harsh reality, not to all those stories you told me a long time ago." An awakening from the mental chaos takes place, as our hero's gaze suddenly turns away from the psychotic – towards a society that can no longer be ignored.

Are you trying to set-up a foreign key constraint on one of your tables and you're getting a 1452 error?
SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1452 Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails
You might also get a General error: 1005
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1005 Can't create table `app`.`#sql-33d4_1a2` (errno: 150 "Foreign key constraint is incorrectly formed")
This is a MySql issue and not a Laravel one.
There could be a number of issues causing this but the most likely is that the reference table has no data in it. For example:
You need to make sure the 'brands' table has some data in it before you can create the foreign key.
If you have created a seeder for this table (and I recommend you do) then you can call the seeder after you have created the table. In your migration file add the Artisan facade:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Artisan;
And then call the seeder after you have created the table:
public function up()
Schema::create('fabrics', function (Blueprint $table) {
// create the table
If you wish to call only one seeder which is what I recommend in this case then you can pass the seeder as an array like so:
Artisan::call('db:seed', array('--class' => 'FabricsTableSeeder'));
This will prevent the above error codes when you migrate on a new system or reset your migrations, it will ensure the tables have the data they need to create the foreign key constraints.


text: 720 FXUS61 KCLE 201802 AFDCLE Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 202 PM EDT Sun Aug 20 2017 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure will build across the Ohio Valley and eastern Great Lakes today. The high will move east of the area on Monday. The next low will move northeast across the Great Lakes Tuesday and take a cold front across the region Tuesday night. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/... No major changes to the forecast with the midday update. Models still indicating the potential for isolated convection to fire across west central Ohio late this afternoon and move into the area as a mid level disturbance approaches the area from the west. While low level moisture has increased a bit resulting in an expansive cumulus field across the area of interest, not confident enough to include isolated shower/storm chances at this point. Will continue to monitor convective trends through the afternoon forecast issuance and may add pops then. Original discussion... High pressure will be in control of the region today. However as it slides eastward through the day it will allow some moisture at 850 mb to advect back into the area from the Central Highlands southward into Central Ohio. A couple of the higher resolution models are trying to generate some showers/thunder within this area of moisture. While we do expect the increase in moisture it is difficult to believe there will be enough lift to produce any rain. So at this point we will keep a dry forecast for today. The dry conditions will continue through tonight but the low level moisture will continue to increase into Monday. This increase in moisture should lead to more cloud cover across the region. Thunderstorm chances will increase on Monday with a couple areas to monitor. One area being some convergence along a lake breeze boundary from east of Cleveland into NW PA. The other area would approach NW Ohio from the west with a weak piece of jet energy approaching along with increased warm advection. The chances of seeing scattered convection develop over Indiana and drift toward NW Ohio Monday afternoon/evening seems like a decent possibility. Temperatures today and Monday will be above seasonal averages. Monday will be the warmest day of the near term with highs mid 80s to around 90. Becoming more humid tonight with lows in the lower to mid 60s for most locations. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... With the warm and moist air continuing to flow into the area, have bled the chance for precip into the northwest half of the area Monday night. But the main focus will be on Tuesday/Tuesday evening as a trough digs southeast across the Great Lakes and brings a potentially well timed cold front to northern OH/nw PA. Strong/severe storms a possibility. Wednesday will begin a multi-day stretch of below normal temperatures as another shortwave amplifies the trough and delays its exit. Will go with highs in the lower and mid 70s. Somewhat concerned with the cold air and trough aloft that there may be a few showers. At this point will hold it with a silent 20 PoP. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Will still be in the midst of the cool trough and in fact there is indication that another lobe of energy will rotate through the base of the trough. There is some timing differences between the GFS/ECMWF, but again this could be enough to spark a few rouge showers across the area. While waiting on better timing consensus and moisture availability, will again hold with a silent 20 PoP for most. Highs will be a little closer to 70 Thursday. Will moderate temperatures and keep the forecast dry going into the weekend with high pressure across the region. && .AVIATION /18Z Sunday THROUGH Friday/... High pressure will continue to slide east across the region. An increase in low level moisture will result in some scattered cu, with some models indicating potential for TSRA/SHRA from KMFD to KCAK. However, will continue to hold off on mention in TAF and monitor radar for development. Some MVFR BR possible at sites around daybreak as winds go light. TSRA chances return late in the period, but confidence is low this far out. OUTLOOK...Non-VFR likely in scattered showers/tstms on Tuesday and Tuesday night. && .MARINE... High pressure across the upper Ohio Valley today and Monday will provide for lighter winds on the lake with an afternoon shift to onshore flow each day. Tuesday though an active cold front will be approaching from the northwest. Southwest flow will increase and the lake will be choppy. Waves will build enough by late afternoon to be in need of a small craft advisory for at least areas east of Avon Point. With the passage of the cold front Tuesday evening, a good push of cold air advection takes place and the choppy conditions will likely persist through the night. The far east end may again be in need of a small craft advisory Wednesday with the northwest flow. High pressure will then move southeast across the Great Lakes Thursday with winds on Lake Erie shifting around to the northeast. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. PA...None. MARINE...None. && $$ SYNOPSIS...Mullen NEAR TERM...Greenawalt/Mullen SHORT TERM...Oudeman LONG TERM...Oudeman AVIATION...Greenawalt MARINE...Oudeman

Scratch is an elusive ingredient which is cited as the reason for the flavor in most homemade foods.
The PlantEdit
The Scratch plant is visible to all, but is often mistaken for other types of greenery. The grain or fruit of the plant is only visible to those who are positive for the scratch gene. Thus only those who recognize the plant and are able to see the grain can use scratch in their food.
Context and UseEdit
The most common reference to scratch is when describing foods. The cook boasts that a certain food was "made from scratch", often without elaborating upon the exact nature of this elusive ingredient. There are several varieties of the scratch plant, each suited to different types of dishes. The greatest chefs have mastered the subtleties of the plant and know how to select and mix them for the greatest combinations of flavor. Mountain scratch was used by early pioneers in their cooking, and it is the only variety of scratch native to the Americas. Those who are unable to see scratch can still appreciate food prepared with it, but they cannot fully understand or appreciate the difference.
Packaged ScratchEdit
Almost all complex foods have some scratch in them, but its exact nature depends upon the level of preparation involved. If a food is prepackaged, often referred to as a "mix", then the flavorful properties of the scratch leak out slowly during the shelf life of the food. Mixes can be used by anyone, scratch-seeing or no, but those who can use scratch themselves often state that there is better flavor in foods where the scratch was added by hand and not pre-processed in a mix.
When the scratch is used and consumed within a week of harvesting it lends the finished food the maximum amount of flavor and added nutrition. Because few people still have the time to locate the plant for harvest, there is packaged scratch available for purchase in any food store. However, this supply of scratch is invisible to those without the scratch gene, so they are still unable to make food from scratch, despite the ingredient's availability.
Only those who have the scratch gene are able to see the grain of the plant and use it in their cooking. To discover whether you have this gene, please refer to the image to the right. If you do not possess the gene, you will not see the picture of scratch. Those who do not have the scratch gene are often unable to make complex foods, even when following exact cooking directions, because they cannot see the directions on when to add scratch or have the scratch to add. These individuals are often sources of exasperation to their scratch-seeing relatives who cannot understand the level of ineptitude that results from the inability to see scratch.
The gene for seeing scratch is a recessive gene, with the inability to see scratch being the dominant trait. Thus the ability to see scratch can be constant for generations, or only surface in one family member in ten.
Scratch originated in the Orient and was imported into Europe and the Americas in the early 1600's by the East India Trading Company. The discovery of the scratch plant is attributed to some person in the early Chin dynasty, though it only became widely used during the Double Chin Dynasty. Scratch became very popular in countries such as France, America, and Italy, though England staunchly refuses to acknowledge its existence.
Side EffectsEdit
In proper amounts, scratch increases longevity and overall health, but certain side effects must be acknowledged.
- Excessive quantities of scratch can promote:
- Enlarged jowls
- Hardening of arteries

Triptychs of Strangers
One new idea for every day in 2011. We're talking big, small, local, international, in action and on the drawing board. Here's today's -- what's yours?
German photographer Adde Adesokan's has no qualms about strangers.
In his latest series, titled "Triptychs of Strangers," Adesokan approaches people he doesn't know, takes a series of three body shots and presents them together as a portrait.
Each photo essay is accompanied by a written story about his subject and how they met. Here, Adesokan describes Marta (right):
I actually noticed and talked to [Marta] because of her remarkable color choice that day ... She has a strong weakness for sweet, especially cakes and biscuits - she pointed out that she is not much into the colorful wine-gum stuff. She once tried to quit eating sweets for a week and ended up lying around with a full belly only 6 hours later."
Find more of Adesokan's photos on the Triptychs of Strangers flickr page. (via photo donuts).

Nike is well known for being on the cutting edge of performance athletic footwear, but just as many people love the brand for their progressive style and design aesthetics. With the lifestyle footwear market booming at the moment, it's only fitting that Nike get in on the fun with their own unique approach. The Swoosh has long relied on its classic models like the Dunk and Blazer in this department, but with the introduction of the Aina Chukka ND, the brand appears to be committed to creating some new classics when it comes to capturing that sophisticated grown-man look in style.

When Amanda Blick, a young mother and kindhearted San Francisco heiress, finds her gorgeous French chef husband wrapped around his sous-chef, she knows she must flee her life in order to rebuild it. The opportunity falls into her lap when her (very lovable) mother suggests Amanda and her young son, Max, spend the summer with her at the St. Regis Resort in Laguna Beach. With the waves right outside her windows and nothing more to worry about than finding the next relaxing thing to do, Amanda should be having the time of her life—and escaping the drama. But instead, she finds herself faced with a kind, older divorcee who showers her with attention… and she discovers that the road to healing is never simple. This is the sometimes funny, sometimes bitter, but always moving story about the mistakes and discoveries a woman makes when her perfect world is turned upside down.

This bridge was named after the famous Irish writer Samuel Beckett and designed by the internationally famous Spanish architect, sculpter and engineer, Santiago Calatrava. This is his second bridge to be built in Dublin as he also designed 'The James Joyce Bridge' further upstream. It has 4 traffic and 2 pedestrian lanes and is capable of rotating 90 degrees to allow ships to pass through. The shape of its spar and cables are said to evoke an image of an Irish harp lying on it's edge. It was constructed in Rotterdam by Hollandia (who also made the London Eye) and was shipped to Dublin on the 3rd May 2009. It officially opened on the 10th December 2009 at a cost of €60 million.

Our body encounters toxins on a regular basis, from the food we eat, water we drink and bathe in, to the air we breathe. These pollutants will not harm our system individually, but if they collect over time and are stored in our tissues, we begin to get breakdown of our tissues and physiology. The collection of toxins creates an environment ideal for bacteria, virus, yeast, fungal, parasite growth. This will lead to fluid retention (edema), inflammation, infections, immune system compromise, pain, weight gain, and many other common complaints.
In our Dallas office we have developed individually-based detoxification guides, based on your unique physiology, metabolism, and neurological health. We use different tools to accomplish the body detox:
- Ionic foot detox
- 3-21 day diet and detox regimens tailored to your specific needs
- Laboratory analysis to determine your needs and the cause of your system break-down
- Neurological assessment
- GI panels
- Parasite and yeast panels
- Allergy analysis and elimination
- Hormone panels
- Thyroid panels

Cranberry Trifle
With layers of sweetened cranberries, buttery pound cake, and fluffy whipped cream, this trifle is a truly easy dessert -- merry and dazzling.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 12
Source: Everyday Food, December 2008
- 2 bags (12 ounces each) cranberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
- 1 bar (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

- Candied Orange Zest, for garnish (optional)
In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, 2 cups granulated sugar, ginger, and 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium; cook until cranberries begin to burst, 8 to 10 minutes. Let compote cool completely.
Make cream filling: Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, brown sugar, remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla on high until well combined. With mixer on medium, gradually add heavy cream; continue beating until soft peaks form.
Arrange 1/3 of cake in a 3-quart serving dish. Spoon 1/3 of compote over cake; spread to sides of dish. Dollop 1/3 of cream filling over compote; spread to sides of dish. Repeat twice, ending with cream filling. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours (or up to 1 day). Garnish with Candied Orange Zest, if desired.

MS1247598431 DEC, 2015This has been a holiday staple at our dinner table since I came across this recipe about 4-5 years ago. I was immediately thrown off by the use of pound cake though. I substitute angel food cake and it is delicious. Enjoy!!!Reply
pattylovespaul15 DEC, 2011This is FABULOUS!! I absolutely loved it! I make trifles all the time and this one is by far the best recipe that I have found! I would definitely say that it makes at least 15 servings though. Enjoy!Reply
Judymberry22 NOV, 2011Hasn't anyone caught the big mistake with the sugar? It calls for 2-1/4 cups, and 2 cups go in with the cranberries. The filling calls for another cup! I'm assuming that's the remaining 1/4 cup.Reply
cggardengirl24 NOV, 2010This is best made a full day in advance - helpful for when you have many dishes to make. It is awesome the next day!!! By the next day all the flavors have melded together and the cake has gotten moist and yummy:)Reply

9 killed, 30 injured in blasts in northwest PakistanPTI | Apr 28, 2013, 02.20 PM IST
ISLAMABAD: Two bomb blasts outside campaign offices of candidates contesting Pakistan's general election killed nine persons and injured more than 30 in northwest Pakistan today.
The first blast occurred outside an election office in Kohat district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
Police said a remote-controlled explosive device was used in the attack.
Six persons were killed and 21 injured by the explosion, which caused extensive damage to the office of Syed Noor Akbar, an independent candidate contesting polls to a parliamentary seat in Orakzai tribal region.
Police said Akbar is a member of the minority Shia sect and this could have been a motive for the attack.
Hours later, another bomb went off outside an election office in Maqsoodabad, a suburb of Peshawar, the capital of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Three persons were killed and 10 others, including three children, injured, police said.
The blast targeted the office of Nasir Khan Afridi, an independent candidate contesting polls to a parliamentary seat in the lawless Khyber tribal region.
Police officials said the bomb was attached to a bicycle left outside the office. The office and two cars were damaged.
Footage on television showed debris and election materials strewn on the road outside the office.
No group claimed responsibility for both bombings. The attacks came a day after six persons were killed and 65 others injured in three bomb attacks that targeted workers of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement and Pakistan People's Party in Karachi.
Most of the candidates contesting polls from Pakistan's tribal belt have set up election offices in Khyber- Pakhtunkhwa.
Candidates are unable to campaign in the tribal areas because of threats from the Taliban and other militant groups.
They have focussed on wooing voters in towns and villages located along the boundary with the seven semi-autonomous tribal agencies.

Jeweled Rice
It's 9:30 on a warm Saturday morning. There's a line of women outside the front door, anxiously waiting for 10:00 o'clock when the doors will finally open. Their eager faces peek through the window hoping to get a glance of the new class sample quilts that were hung only hours before. The ladies clutch at their purses calculating how much money they have budgeted for the day and a few men tap their toes and take deep breaths, knowing that today will be costly.
Inside, the staff of Prairie Queens gathers for an informal staff meeting to discuss the day's various activities, promotions and job assignments. The employees look out at the growing crowd and think about the great customers and friends who will come through the door. We think back fondly about previous Open Houses' and how we only had a handful of friends in the store. Today, we have hundreds who have come to help us celebrate our 6th Birthday!!
In the classroom, a bevy of quilting instructors spread out their quilts, patterns and sign-up sheets. They look forward to meeting our family and talking to them about the classes they have to offer. It's an exciting day for them as well. This is the day they get to see many of their past students and friends. On the back table, aromas from all the delicious food wafts through the classroom and into the store, tantalizing everyone and making stomachs growl in anticipation.
Ten O'clock arrives! The door flies open, and our family and friends make their way through the door. They gather bolts of fabric, kits and patterns and stack them on the table as they continue to shop. Slowly they make their way back to the teachers and talk with them about all the current class offerings. After many of them sign-up for the classes, they finally feast on the buffet of great food brought by so many. They eventually return to the store with stomachs full and smiles wide. Our friends wait in line to get their fabrics cut or to check out and suddenly a cowbell is heard throughout the store! It's time for a giveaway!!!
Everyone looks around for the numbers strategically placed throughout the store on the floor. Without elbows being thrown, they rush to the closest number and tremble in anticipation as they wait for the announcement. With a shout, two numbers are called and the winners shout out with a shriek of delight. They have won a door prize!
And on it goes…more customers, more smiles, more food, more classes, and more door prizes. This is what Prairie Queens calls Open House!
Prairie Queens Open House

Owner of Delray Beach Reptile Shop Arrested for Slapping Employees With Bearded Dragon
Andrew Tisinger via Wikimedia Commons
A reptile store owner was arrested for slapping his employees with a bearded dragon lizard.
And you hate your boss when he gives you gruff about stuff.
According to a Broward Sheriff's Office arrest report, Benjamin Siegel, 40, owner of Ben Siegel Reptiles Inc. in Delray Beach, was arrested on battery and cruelty to animal charges on Friday after he allegedly hit some of his employees with a live lizard multiple times.
The report says the incident was caught on a store surveillance camera.

The victims told police that Siegel placed the lizard in his mouth and began hitting the employees with it. He also threw Gatorade on the employees.
According to the report, Siegel threw the large lizard into the air and swung it around multiple times.
"The defendant did unnecessarily torment the animal, handling the animal in a cruel and/or inhumane manner and intentionally committed an act to the animal which results in excessive and repeated infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering to the animal," the report says.
Benjamin Siegel
via BSO
Siegel was charged with one count of cruelty to animals and two counts of battery. He appeared in bond court on Monday where he was held on $4,500 bond.
A clerk at the store told New Times they would not comment on the incident.
This isn't the first time Siegel's reptile store has been in the news for something strange or unfortunate.
In 2012, Siegel Reptiles, which is located at 3314 W. Hillsboro Blvd. in Deerfield Beach, hosted a roach-eating contest that ended up killing contestant Edward Archbold after he choked on the dozens of roaches and worms during the contest.
According to the BSO at the time, Archbold began to "regurgitate" the roaches and bugs soon after winning the contest. He then collapsed in front of the store and was pronounced dead at Broward Health North. Four weeks later, the Broward Medical Examiner reported that Archbold had died of "asphyxia due to choking and aspiration of gastric contents."
The contest held by Siegel's Reptiles was for a free python.

You overwhelmed the mailbag this week with exasperation over another seemingly illegal but unpenalized hit on Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, this one a helmet-to-helmet blow that caused a concussion at the end of a 16-13 overtime loss at the Washington Redskins. So I decided to combine our weekly Dirty Laundry post with the mailbag and try to make some sense out of this issue.
As you know by now, Rodgers had just released a pass in overtime when Redskins defensive end Jeremy Jarmon hit the front of his head with his helmet. Redskins safety LaRon Landry intercepted the errant throw at the Packers' 39-yard line, setting up the Redskins' game-winning field goal. Replays showed Jarmon holding his hands up as if to signify he had pulled up before the hit, but there is no denying that illegal contact occurred. The resulting call should gave returned possession to the Packers and put them at the 39-yard line.
On Friday, the NFL fined Jarmon $5,000 for unnecessary roughness -- a tacit admission that referee Gene Steratore's crew missed the call. The same thing happened last January, when referee Scott Green's crew failed to call Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Bertrand Berry for another clear helmet-to-helmet hit in the Packers' overtime loss.
Having not seen every play of every game Rodgers has started, those were the two major calls that popped in my head. After opening up the issue on Twitter, readers brought up at least a half-dozen other calls that were questionable at best.
Jon of Madison, Wis., wrote this representative plea:
Being a Packer fan, I am pretty upset with the way Aaron Rodgers is abused on the field without penalty. Now, I watch almost every game that is broadcasted in my area and it seems as though it only happens to Rodgers. And I'm not saying that as a blind fan. I would like to see the stats on Rodgers roughing penalties vs. all the other QB's in the league and would also like to see how many no calls penalties he has had. I can think of at least four helmet-to-helmet big hits that happened since last year.
Unfortunately, the NFL almost never comments on individual calls or on team-by-team disparities. There isn't a lot of data on it either. But one avenue I'm just starting to explore -- with a push from NFC West colleague Mike Sando and a big assist from ESPN's Stats & Information -- is tracking the tendencies of the 17 individual officiating crews.
After messing around with a spreadsheet for a while, I turned up this interesting and possibly relevant nugget: Steratore's crew hasn't made a single unnecessary roughness call all season. It's the only crew without one. For context, referee Tony Corrente's crew is at the high end with 11. And for what it's worth, Green's 2010 crew has made three such calls.
Steratore's crew has called three roughing-the-passer penalties this season, and no crew has called more than four. But the helmet-to-helmet call technically falls under unnecessary roughness, not roughing the passer. We all know how violent NFL games are. Objectively speaking, Steratore's crew has been awfully stingy on the former.
I don't think we have enough data to suggest Rodgers has had the misfortune of getting hit in the head during games officiated by crews that don't often make that call. But just as we see in baseball, I think we can all agree that NFL games are impacted to some extent by the subjective and inconsistent decisions of their rotating officials.
Even with that said, I can't accept that officials who are stingy with a certain call should have missed either the Jarmon or Berry hits. They were blatant and came in an era when the league has instructed officials to make every effort to protect all quarterbacks. Independent of any tendencies, they were simply bad and inexcusable non-calls. The subsequent fines confirmed as much. I don't have any way to sugarcoat that for you, but I'll continue to study the officiating spreadsheet this season to see what other trends we turn up.
Before we get to our Challenge Tracker, I'll publish the entirety of the NFL that relates to helmet-to-helmet hits. (For those following at home, it's Rule 12, Section 2, Article 13.3.)
In covering the passer position, Referees will be particularly alert to fouls in which defenders impermissibly use the helmet and/or facemask to hit the passer, or use hands, arms, or other parts of the body to hit the passer in the head, neck, or face (see also the other unnecessary-roughness rules covering these subjects).
A defensive player must not use his facemask or other part of his helmet against a passer who is in a virtually defenseless posture -- for example, (a) forcibly hitting the passer's head, neck, or face with the helmet or facemask, regardless of whether the defensive player also uses his arms to tackle the passer by encircling or grasping him, or (b) lowering the head and violently or unnecessarily making forcible contact with the "hairline" or forehead part of the helmet against any part of the passer's body.
This rule does not prohibit incidental contact by the mask or non-crown parts of the helmet in the course of a conventional tackle on a passer. A defensive player must not "launch" himself (spring forward and upward) into a passer, or otherwise strike him in a way that causes the defensive player's helmet or facemask to forcibly strike the passer's head, neck, or face -- even if the initial contact of the defender's helmet or facemask is lower than the passer's neck.
Examples: (a) a defender buries his facemask into a passer's high chest area, but the defender's trajectory as he leaps into the passer causes the defender's helmet to strike the passer violently in the head or face; (b) a defender, using a face-on posture or with head slightly lowered, hits a passer in an area below the passer's neck, then the defender's head moves upward, resulting in strong contact by the defender's mask or helmet with the passer's head, neck, or face (one example of this is the so-called "dip-and-rip" technique).

I would like to congratulate the Toni Catford and the Events team on the highly successful CASA Conference, 'Trauma- Repairing the Pain".
This was a truly enjoyable day of catching up with colleagues and meeting new people in the profession. Many commented on how warm and inclusive the day was with a wonderful atmosphere that left attendees feeling refreshed and inspired. I was impressed with the combination of speakers and the professional way they worked together to present a cohesive and fascinating perspective on this complex topic. There was plenty of material for discussion and each speaker brought something quite different, prompting learning and further exploration. It was great to meet our recent new members and several student guests, as well as catching up with old friends.
Representatives from our sponsor ACAP were very busy with enquiries and conversations around further education and our supporter, Innovative Resources from St Luke's provided members with access to quality resources during the break. The catering was efficient and good quality food was enjoyed for the day.

Conference in Review
The opportunity to gather once again under the umbrella of CASA at the annual conference in May was well taken up by both members and other professionals working in the field. The conference has proven over time that it is valued for more than simply providing an avenue for learning, it is also a place to share interests, ideas new and old and even take time out to share a meal together and simply, catch up.
The energy of conversations and catch ups during the breaks spilled into the conference room itself serving to enhance the conference experience.
This year the focus on Trauma brought together three speakers who delivered three different aspects to working with trauma.
Dr Reg Nixon presented his team's on-going research into working with PTSD clients as well as those with co-morbidity, dominantly depression. His research highlighted the outcomes from the utilization of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) which is a targeted approach to PTSD but is born out of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). The developing package of therapy demonstrated positive markers of change during the follow up phase.
Rudy Gonzalez opened with an experiential exercise exposing the audience to the feeling of traumatic loss. This was a powerful opening as it jettisoned the audience from the comfort of Hindmarsh to some unknown place that exerts fear, loss and overt control. The audience felt trauma. Rudy is able to house children in the safe environment of the Lighthouse Foundation, a unit of care developed by Rudy. In this way he is able to create an experience of safety, a crucial place to begin a child's journey from the traumatized 'broken heart'.
Dr Cathy Kezelman spoke of her journey from naiveté to the age of 40 years following a trauma in the family, she fractured and now knew she was an adult who was a sexually abused child. Her buried memories flooded to the surface and Cathy began a long, fearful and at times suicidal journey of discovery.
Like all conferences there is much to see hear and learn. And, maybe too often today it is through the 'death by Powerpoint' show. The Q&A panel session changed this providing an interchange of discussion between the floor and the panelists.
Away from the power point presentation, gems of wisdom were heard from the speakers.
Speakers Voice
Dr Reg Nixon
We thought if we treated the depression first we would be able to enhance the PTSD work - "WRONG", we needed to work with the PTSD first
Behaviour Activation is a useful tool for depression but how can you be going to the park if your PTSD is fearful of such a place
Work with the themes to challenge the thinking process
Rudy Gonzalez
The brain prunes off parts not used when trauma dominant - trauma neurobiology. Think about the long term affects for psychosocial development
Recovery -back to what should have happened then going back and filling the gaps. Trauma work is changing the script
Trauma work is not linear it is individual work supported by other community engagements both professional and non-professional
Dr Cathy Kezelman
Fracturing – I had parts I didn't know and parts that didn't know me. I had a market place in my head
There is a poor understanding of the impact of complex trauma
Bearing Witness – just being heard has a positive impact
Vox Pop
Moving from the speakers to the audience – what did they hear?
Student's voice:
I can see how the counselling approach fits with working with trauma. I can see the importance of reflecting responses so the client can feel heard, just as one of the speakers said, bearing witness
New Graduate's voice:
This helps me understand so much more of how the theory can be experienced in practice
Lecturer's voice:
The diversity of the speakers provides us with such a bigger picture of how to work with trauma and then so much more we have to pass on to the students
Long term therapist's voice:

August PD - Hypnosis in Counselling
Date: August 23, 2014
Venue: Education Centre, Milner Street Hindmarsh
Time: 2.00pm-5.00pm
The delivery of hypnosis has changed through the years and no longer does it have to be a directive delivery by the therapist in fact, it is a highly creative and collaborative experience between the therapist and the client.
No, you don't have to watch a side to side swinging watch, or count down from 100 or even hear the words deeper and deeper. Hypnosis today is actually an active process with checking in from the therapist and feedback from the client all within the hypnosis experience.
In fact, we can all be buoyed by the standing that neuroscientists now have as they are at last validating the processes and responses in the brain during hypnosis.
At last the Hollywood notion of hypnosis is being debunked.
Your presenters, psychologists, Marta Lohyn and Merrilly Watson have been in practice in South Australia for many years with specialisation in utilising hypnosis in their private practice as well as teaching the art of hypnosis.
During this three hour workshop you will have the opportunity to explore what hypnosis is and how it can be used as a powerful clinical tool. Research indicates that it is an effective intervention for anxiety, depression, pain and trauma, as well as a range of other problems.
Marta and Merrilly will demystify hypnosis and open you up to adding this skill to your client work.
Registration will open later this month.
Bereavement Forum
The bereavement forum held on 21st March 2014 was initiated by the GriefLink Management Committee with the support of the Palliative Care Council SA (PCCSA) as reported in the April 2014 edition of eNews. The forum was set up to identify the gaps in grief and loss support in the bereavement and palliative care arena as well as encapsulate other aspects of grief and loss in need of identification, recognition and subsequently, support services.
In brief:
Naturally there is an emphasis on bereavement given the group setting up this process however, underlying their work is the awareness that there is a bigger picture to paint around grief and loss than bereavement and, to only focus on the final process of death and dying would be to minimize the total experience of grief and loss.

The recognition of the need to adopt a preventative approach to mental health issues may be moving out of the shadows but there is still a gap from the recognition of need to the actual delivery of services to those removed from easy access to services.

A/C Informational Meeting – Sept 10
We Need Your Input!!
Church Council has been gathering information and discussing the merits of installing air conditioning at St. Paul. The scope of that discussion has gone beyond the Sanctuary and/or the Harms Fireside Room. Those areas were previously approved at the Annual Meeting as potential capital improvement projects.
The question of air conditioning and the potential increased scope of the project have raised numerous issues that are best discussed prior to formulating a course of action. Therefore, Church Council has set September 10th immediately following Sunday service as our final informational meeting date.
A copy of the outline to be followed at the informational meetings is available for your review prior to the meeting. You may pick up a copy at the church office or use the following link to view the outline:
Please plan on attending this last informational meeting.

And Those Semolina Soup Dumplings
I keep getting questions from people about semolina, farina, cream of wheat and wheatlets and of course about those semolina soup dumplings Hungarians like in their soups.
First let's talk about Semolina! In botanical terms, semolina is the endosperm [starch portion] of the wheat grain. From coarse grain to fine grain, semolina is always granular. The color can be from bright yellow to creamy white.
Semolina, farina, cream of wheat and wheatlets are one and the same thing with only minute differences. You find them with the hot cereals or near the flours. Sometimes they will be in the Italian, East Indian or the Health Food section of the store. The differences are minor, weather you buy semolina, cream of wheat, farina or wheatlets, you are basically buying the same thing. Just never get it in instant porridge form or worse yet in small serving sized packets. Those things taste bad and you cannot use them for any other purpose than what they were designed for.
The next problem is making the gríznokedli, those fluffy, yummy soup dumplings. Depending on the size of the egg and the type of semolina you use, the dumplings sometimes turn out a bit hard or so soft they fall apart during cooking. The semolina dumpling recipe I have on my blog, called FARINA SOUP DUMPLINGS - GRÍZ NOKEDLI may or may not work, depending on the variables that exist, such as measuring, size of the egg and the type of semolina used.
Making semolina soup dumplings was always a challenge. If you don't make these often, sometimes they work for you and sometimes they won't work. I recall conversations about the various tricks cooks used to get these dumplings large and fluffy every time. But none of those tricks work under the wrong conditions. I had my own failures over the years too and I came to the conclusion that nothing replaces time and experience. I tried to think how to translate experience into a foolproof recipe if there was such a thing. But aside from measuring out everything in grams, including the white and the yolk separately, one has to rely on experience.
A couple of years ago I came up with a solution to get fluffy and yet stable semolina dumplings every time. Flour is more stable than semolina right? So add a bit of all purpose flour to the mixture. The flour will alter the dumplings' flavor ever so slightly and the texture will be a bit spongier, but they will remain soft and won't fall apart during cooking. And even with the added flour they will still be semolina dumplings.
I put the recipe in picture form. You start with an egg. Add some semolina, stir, add some flour and stir again. Dip the spoon into the simmering water and scoop up a bit of batter. Submerge it in the simmering water and the little dumpling will slide off your spoon. As the dumplings cook they grow. Repeat until you use up all the batter. It's easy.
