I never discriminate against cookies, I love them all. I doesn't matter what shape they come in. I love them during every holiday and if they are homemade or from a box. I love them warm and cold. I love them during all times of the day. I love all cookies.
Now this is a very big problem for me because cookies are not the healthiest to have all the time. I mean at least not after every meal.....right??? Anyways because of my love affair with cookies and have tried and tested so many "healthy" versions of the classic Chocolate Chip cookie. All trials ended in disgust. They either tasted like cardboard or looked like cardboard while tasting like a bland fake cookie. My fear was that I would never find a healthy alternative to my dear cookie.
After much trial and error and more trial and error I was able to Frankenstein the perfect cookie recipe that has almost the same (95%) consistency as the classic cookie and the taste is actually quite delicious. I am a cookie snob and I genuinely really enjoyed this alternative. It even got my husbands approval so I know its winner for sure.
These cookies are paleo, gluten free and have no sugar in them. Yep I said it..no sugar! I do not feel as bad eating these cookies. I mean in the end they are still cookies but a healthy alternative to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Tip: do not use the almond flour (meal) that Trader Joe's sells. Yes I know that the meal is cheap in comparison to almond flour but the constancy was horrible. It did not absorb the liquid and the cookies did not hold. They fell apart in your fingers. I mean they still tasted really good but it was not a cookie it was more like mush that tasted like cookie.
Tip: If you want the cookie to taste like a S'more then I suggest using regular coconut oil. I have used regular and refined. Regular makes the cookies taste like a S'more which is really good but if you want a more chocolate chip cookie taste then I would use refined coconut oil. Refined coconut oil does not have the smell and taste of coconut. Either way the cookie will taste good in my humble opinion but its up to you what kind of cookie mood you are in.
1 1/4 Cup of almond flour (I used Blue Diamond brand)
1/4 Teaspoon baking soda
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1/4 Cup raw agave nectar
1/8 Cup coconut oil (refined or regular coconut oil)
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 Cup dark or milk chocolate chips
- Heat oven to 325
- Mix flour, salt and baking soda well.
- Mix agave nectar, coconut oil, and vanilla in a small bowl.
- Combine wet ingredients to the dry ingredients
- Add chocolate chips. Batter should be thick enough that you can roll a small ball between your palms.
- Evenly space cookie dough on a lined baking sheet with parchment paper. Press cookie down flat with either your palm or the back of a spoon. If you do not press the cookie down flat they will not flatten when they bake and will remain in a ball like shape.
- Bake for 5-7 min. Keep an eye on them. When the edges start to brown they are done.

The Republic of Romania was a short-lived republic formed after the Treaty of Athens mandated its independence from Turkey following the Black Sea War, earning its formal recognition by the French bloc in January of 1961. Its provisional government, led by Nicolae Ceausescu for the majority of the 1960's, never formed a solid permanent government and three constitutions were thrown out without being passed (1962, 1964 and 1967). In 1968, the Central Intelligence Agency, the foreign intelligence service of the United States, allegedly helped fix the vote in order to drive Ceausescu out of power. A coup by various business and military interests backed by the Americans and Turks in early 1970 drove the short-lived Constante Maccel government out and the Turkish Army occupied the southern half of the country in 1971 to "stablize" the region.
The 1971 Romanian Crisis nearly sparked another war with France, but the Turkish-backed puppet government crushed a pro-Romanian protest, had Ceausescu hung for treason (despite his innocence in the non-existent rebellion) and reabsorbed Romania in 1972 after the government collapsed under foreign and internal pressure.

Nina: Adolescence
At the center of an attic studio littered with paints and portraits stands fifteen-year-old Nina, nude. A canvas separates her from her mother, who perches on a stool, paintbrush in hand. In a desperate attempt to coax her mother out of her emotional seclusion, Nina has offered herself up as a model. The painting, Nina: Adolescence, will mark her mother's triumphant return to the Boston art world and form the centerpiece of a gallery show. But the exposure makes Nina uneasy, and her father begins to protest with increasing vehemence. The family starts to come apart, sending Nina into a tailspin as she recklessly attempts to free herself from a disintegrating household and the confines of someone else's fame. With the tension reaching a breaking point, Nina finds that the gift she gave to her mother is rapidly becoming a sacrifice and could very well serve to be the cause of her

Skip to comments.Scott Hahn appointed to endowed chair in theology, evangelization
Posted on 05/16/2012 2:47:57 PM PDT by NYer
.- The Franciscan University of Steubenville has appointed author and professor Dr. Scott Hahn to an endowed chair named for the priest who pioneered the school's Catholic revival.
Hahn's reception of the Father Michael Scanlan Chair of Biblical Theology and the New Evangelization was announced May 12 during the school's 64th commencement ceremony by Father Terence Henry, TOR, who succeeded Fr. Scanlan as the school's president.
Through his work at Franciscan University, his scholarly research and publications, his popular writing and countless speaking engagements, Dr. Scott Hahn has done the very thing the Fathers of Vatican II called upon Catholic scholars to do, Fr. Henry said in his announcement.
This new appointment will aid him in his ongoing work in teaching sacred Scripture and the New Evangelization, which is so close to his heart.
A well-known convert from Protestantism to the Catholic Church, Hahn has taught classes on theology and Scripture at Franciscan University since 1990. He is the author of over 40 scholarly and popular books, and the founder and director of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology.
Hahn said he was deeply grateful and humbled by the honor of holding an endowed chair named after Father Michael Scanlan, one of my personal heroes in the faith, as well as a spiritual father and dear friend for over 20 years.
He praised the work of the priest, who revitalized the school formerly known as the College of Steubenville after taking over leadership during a troubled period in the 1970s. Fr. Scanlan, who retired in 2011, maintains the title of President Emeritus at the university.
For over a generation, Hahn said, Father Mike has shown us how to combine academic study and spiritual fervor in a way that changes lives our own and others and thus how to advance the New Evangelization, which is at the heart of the Churchs mission.
The endowment-supported position will allow Hahn to increase his teaching and mentoring activities on campus, and to develop online graduate courses, while continuing his schedule of speaking engagements and media appearances.
Congratulations to Scott Hahn on his new appointment. May our Lord continue to bless his ministry to the Catholic Church.

Congratulations to Dr. Hahn!
What a Christian!
Best wishes to Dr. Hahn and family. He's always so interesting! I just re-read "Hail, Holy Queen" last week because I was presenting an overview of Marian dogmas for my prayer group.
Amen to those sentiments!
Scott Hahn is one of my favorite and most illuminating (for me) authors/speakers/hosts/guests on EWTN programs, in books, CD's, etc.
Thank God for his wonderful service, and may God keep him in his loving care. (And may Scott never stray from doing the holy will of God.)
WOOOOOOT! God Bless Scott Hahn!! Someone once said that listening to Scott Hahn talk about the Bible was like trying to get a sip of water from a fire hydrant! :o)
He asked God for a sign on one day before he left a town on tour. He walked into Mall found out that they held mass in the basement(?). He walked into the chapel which had mass. Well after the mass he talked to the priest about the question from the book. He finds out its the author who is still living. A brusque old fashion priest in his late golden years.
It's been years I might be off on the accuracy. But if I remember that's the gist of it.
He repeated the anecdote in "Hail, Holy Queen." The book in question was about the Assumption of Mary.
I bought that book on the mid lecture break. Some book. But no autograph. He had a scheduled flight back home for Sunday with family. I taped it on my Phone I listen too it twice at least since. Wonderful Christian person.

text: Politics 1 April 2010 Are you having a laugh? What the papers have to say about April Fool's Day. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML April Fool's Day is upon us, and with it a host of fake newspaper stories. If, like me, you've had an early start and are finding it all a little confusing, here is a guide to what not to believe. To be updated through the morning -- let us know if we've missed any! Guardian Top marks for effort go to the Guardian, which has run a story on a brand new Labour campaign strategy. In an audacious new election strategy, Labour is set to embrace Gordon Brown's reputation for anger and physical aggression, presenting the Prime Minister as a hard man, unafraid of confrontation, who is willing to take on David Cameron in "a bare-knuckle fistfight for the future of Britain", the Guardian has learned. The paper reports that strategists are considering engineering a "high-profile incident of violence on the campaign trail", and that another tactic being discussed is "provoking a physical confrontation" at the TV leadership debates. Brilliant -- and PoliticalBetting was nearly taken in. Tribune Another good 'un from the left-wing journal, which reports that "Tribune is facing a hostile takeover bid" from none other than Alexander Lebedev. Mr Lebedev, who also owns the London Evening Standard and the Independent, as well as Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta, has offered to buy 75 per cent of the magazine's shares for a nominal payment of £1.50, 50 per cent more than he paid for the Evening Standard, valuing the magazine at £2. The story plays it so straight that I was very nearly had. Special mention for the plethora of references to how great Tribune is ("prestigious", "revamped website and marketing strategy", "institution of British journalism"). It almost makes you wonder whether the paper is hinting . . . Independent Speaking of Lebedev . . . the Independent reports that a second Hadron Collider will be built on the Circle Line. Health and safety advisers to London Underground are understood to be concerned about the proposal, and have raised the prospect of a mini black hole being created at Westminster when the two proton beams collide to re-create the conditions of the Big Bang. Inventive? Yes. Plausible? Hell no. Telegraph The Telegraph reports that specially trained ferrets are helping to bring broadband to rural "dead-zone" areas. Jon James, director of broadband for Virgin Media, said: "For hundreds of years, ferrets have helped humans in various jobs. Our decision to use them is due to their strong nesting instinct, their long, lean build and inquisitive nature, and for their ability to get down holes. We initially kept the trial low-key as we wanted to assess how well the ferrets fitted into our operations before revealing this enterprising scheme." It almost sounds plausible when the story gives examples of ferrets being used to lay cables in the past, but one look at the picture of a ferret in a minature reflective jacket, and all doubt is dispelled. Is this a joke? We were fairly sure that this story from the Sun was an April Fool's Day stunt: A flying fish gets its own back on an angler by leaping from the water -- and slapping her in the face. Jodi Barnes was left with a sore cheek when she and a bunch of pals went fishing with BOWS AND ARROWS. Fishing? With a bow and arrows? Would they not even try to make their report sound convincing? But lo and behold, the Daily Mail runs the same story: "Revenge of the carp: Fish hunted by woman armed with bow and arrow leaps out of the water to smack her in the face". Commenters on both stories have been hasty to point out that they aren't taken in, berating the shoddy Photoshopping. But a co-ordinated sting -- really? Seems unlikely. Perhaps we should all watch out for vengeful flying fish.

3D printing could muzzle new gun laws
Posted in the Robbinsdale Forum
1 - 16 of 16 Comments Last updated Feb 18, 2013
#1 Feb 18, 2013
Gun owners who can't buy high capacity ammo magazines because of new laws have another option: Print them.
Gun control measures passed or proposed in the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre have targeted magazines that can feed 30 rounds or more into the firing chambers of AR-15s and other semi-automatic guns. New York has banned magazines holding more than seven rounds, and a federal bill proposed by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., would ban magazines holding more than 10 rounds.
But the laws are at least one step behind technology. Using 3D printers and schematics available on the Internet, gun owners can manufacture a fully functional, plastic magazine clip. Plans are free, although getting access to a 3D printer may prove expensive, at least for now.
If you can download it, you can have it.
- Cody Wilson, Defense Distributed/Wiki Weapons Project
If you can download it, you can have it, said University of Texas law student Cody Wilson, who is part of Defense Distributed, a group that has created the design for what they refer to as a Cuomo Clip along with other gun parts. It is all under an initiative they refer to as the Wiki Weapon Project.
Its basically to head them [legislators] off at the pass, which we have, Wilson added, noting that hundreds of thousands of visitors have gone to his group's site to download the CAD file for the ammo magazine since it was first posted in mid-January.
The Cuomo Clip, named for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who pushed the high-capacity clip ban through the Legislature, is made from a plastic filament similar to the type of material used to manufacture LEGO building blocks. It is also loaded with a large spring that helps to push rounds of ammo into the gun chamber.
The ammo magazine clip appears to be durable; Defense Distributed test-fired 86 rounds from a 30-round prototype last month, and the clip showed no signs of damage.
The cutting edge technology, in which three-dimensional objects can be manufactured from melted plastic thread, is likely to complicate efforts to control firearms. No such ability existed in 1994, when large-capacity clips were first banned in an initial federal assault weapons ban that lasted a decade.
Although the new ban proposed by Feinstein would prohibit the manufacture of magazines, it focuses on traditional arms makers and sellers. How the law might be enforced against individuals making their own magazines -- and possibly even guns in the future -- is unclear.
Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., has called for amending the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988, which initially sought to ban guns that could be sneaked through metal detectors, to include a ban on homemade, 3-D printed, plastic high-capacity magazines."
Congress passed a law banning plastic guns for two decades when they were just a movie fantasy," Israel told FoxNews.com . "With the advent of 3-D printers, these guns are suddenly a real possibility, and the law Congress passed is set to expire this year.
#2 Feb 18, 2013
We should act now to give law enforcement authorities the power to stop the development of these weapons before terrorists and criminals can easily bring them on planes. We need to be proactive and keep ahead of the technology. When the legislation was originally passed in 1988, no one would have imagined that parts of a gun and a magazine could be made with a printer imagine what the technology will be even five years down the road.
Defense Distributed and the Wiki Weapons Project also has made schematics of other parts of the AR-15 and other weapons and modifications, including pistol grips, but has avoided attempting to design and distribute plans for a fully-functional gun.

#8 Feb 18, 2013
The Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988 signed into law by Ronald Reagan makes it ILLEGAL to manufacture plastic guns. Plastic guns cannot be seen by metal detectors allowing TERRORISTS to bring guns aboard planes, hijack them and kill innocent Americans. Home manufacturing of plastic guns is a FEDERAL CRIME.

Expires soon, idiot... did you even bother to read the article?

Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988
The general affect of this legislation was to ban the manufacturing or possession of a firearm that has less of an x-ray or metal detector signature than a plastic test gun containing 3.7 oz of 17-4 stainless steel.
The legislation did allow exceptions for the use of such weapons by government entities such as the military and CIA. It also allowed the manufacturing or possession of such a weapon for the intent of having the government test it to see if it meets the above criteria.
The act had a sunset clause, rendering it void ten years after inception (November 10, 1998). The law was allowed to sunset, and no action on the issue was taken for five years.
In 2003, a bill was passed to re-authorize the ban for another 10 years. This was HR3348 and was signed into law on December 9, 2003, becoming Public Law 108-174. This will sunset on DECEMBER 9, 2013 unless renewed.
It's in the posted article but just in case anyone needs to have it SPOT ON (looking at you slew)

Yeah, I read about the renewal effort, too dipsh*t !

I personally think so, but I am not trying to attack those who identify as polyamorous here, as I would never date somebody like that anyway so it doesn't effect me.

I do not think it comes down to polygamous people not trying hard enough to commit to a monogamous lifestyle, it is just how they are wired as people, they do not enjoy being in a monogamous relationship.
There is no right or wrong type of relationship here, it comes down to what people feel is best for them. I am not interested in polygamous relationships and at this precise moment in time monogamous relationships do not appeal to me, I much prefer the quietness that being single affords me.00|00|0

A woman has been charged in the death of her sister following an alleged shooting in Carolina Beach, according to local law enforcement. In the face of such a violent offense, the charges are severe -- she faces a charge of second-degree murder for her supposed connection with the death. North Carolina authorities have been closed-mouthed about what may have precipitated the incident.
North Carolina woman accused of violent offense
A 21-year-old was arrested under the suspicion that he committed sex crimes, and he recently made his first court appearance. The man is accused of sexually assaulting a University of North Carolina Charlotte student in her dorm room. He was arrested under multiple sexually related offenses for his alleged actions, and his bond was set at $200,000.
Elderly man begins criminal defense against hit-man allegations
An elderly man was recently arrested stemming from an incident that occurred in Alexander County. North Carolina police believe that the 70-year-old man called a hit-man and attempted to pay the individual to kill someone. The man must now begin to form a solid criminal defense against his charges.
Woman begins criminal defense; accused of murdering a 20-year-old
A woman has recently been arrested after an incident occurred at her residence. The North Carolina woman has been accused of shooting a man at her home and causing his death. The woman must now begin her criminal defense against the murder charges she faces resulting from the incidence.
North Carolina State Fair incident leads to criminal charges
What was supposed to be a fun time at the North Carolina State Fair recently turned into a horrific situation when five people were seriously injured on a ride. As a result of this incident, two people now face criminal charges for assault with a deadly weapon. Investigators into the incident believe that the man who was operating the ride disabled some of the safety features in order get people on and off the ride more easily.
North Carolina criminal defense: officer accused of manslaughter
Manslaughter cases that involve police officers in the role of the accused can draw a significant amount of attention, both in North Carolina and across the country. It can often seem difficult for a police officer accused of voluntary manslaughter to receive a fair trial in the wake of such high media exposure. This can make the preparation of such a criminal defense especially critical, considering the high stakes involved for the law enforcement official.
North Carolina mother faces criminal charges for assault on son
Getting to the bottom of an alleged assault can be a difficult task for law enforcement. Sorting the details in how the assault transpired and who was responsible for initiating the altercation can serve as the basis for criminal charges to be filed by North Carolina police. However, despite charges being filed, there may still be an abundance of evidence that has yet to be disclosed, which may only arise after a thorough investigation has been completed.
Man faces drug charges after police search North Carolina home
A conviction on drug charges in the state of North Carolina can net someone a lengthy jail sentence. However, some types of drug operations can also endanger the health of the public and responding officers. Meth labs can be extremely dangerous to people and one man is accused of running one out of his home. The man is now facing a host of drug charges related to his alleged manufacturing facility.
Man faces drunk driving charge after allegedly hitting police car
Being charged with drunk driving can unfortunately lead to serious repercussions, even if an actual conviction is never obtained. North Carolina residents who face a drunk driving charge can have their reputations in the community harmed by the mere allegation. A DWI conviction can lead to more serious consequences, such as financial penalties and even prison time. Nevertheless, state and federal law guarantees each individual charged with a crime the presumption of innocence until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Charlotte man faces drug charges after plant spotted inside home
A Charlotte man is accused of several drug crimes after authorities allegedly discovered a marijuana plant sitting close to a window at the man's home. Authorities were at the home attempting to serve a civil warrant when they noticed the plant. The man is now facing several drug charges in the case.

Guest Post:Diabetes Blessings by Ashley Rose
Diabetes Blessings
When I was first diagnosed, I was scared, confused and overwhelmed. I was also angry. I had been taught that living a healthy lifestyle would keep diabetes from becoming a part of my life until I was much older. Not so when your pancreas has plans for early retirement. After the initial shock wore off though, I began to look at my diagnosis as a blessing.
The journey to my diagnosis began when I started getting sick at the gym. I was getting an "I need to stop what I'm doing RIGHT NOW!" feeling after which I'd feel horrible for the rest of the day. There were many late night hospital visits in which I had no idea what was going on, but hoped that the doctor on call would. My body was completely out of control and no one could seem to find an explanation for it. My diagnosis gave me answers when I thought there were none to be found.
A few months later, I took to the internet to see if there was anyone else out there like me. My search brought me to some social networking sites for diabetics and to twitter which later brought me my next diabetes blessing – the D-OC. I can't imagine life without such amazing and supportive friends. Knowing that no matter what you're never alone with what you're going through is a very powerful thing.
My most unanticipated diabetes blessing is one that I wasn't even aware of until the DSMA diabetes and mental health chat back in September. The first question posed that night was a simple one (how has diabetes affected your emotions surrounding food & body image?) but the answer that came to mind was unexpected. At the time of my diagnosis, I was in my early 20's, I wasn't quite comfortable in my own skin yet, and I felt as though my body was out of control. This led to a relationship with my body and with food that was dysfunctional at best. My diagnosis vastly improved both. Having my diagnosis meant that I was no longer reacting to inexplicable changes in my body, but I FINALLY knew the basic reasons for them. Not only that, but I knew what to do to help myself when necessary. I don't have all the answers but now when I look in the mirror I no longer see a body that's out of my control. I see a woman who's a full time pancreas and not always perfect but trying her best. My confidence and self-acceptance have been restored and I have my diabetes to thank for it.
It just goes to show that we can find blessings in the most unexpected places.

The 10 Best Dressed Presidents
As an art history graduate from a long line of expert seamstresses, Ernest Sabine admits that he was, for far too long, fighting his true creative instinct. "It was always kind of back there," the Boston native explains from his 28th Street studios in Manhattan. "But I thought, 'Oh, I need a serious job. I need to be a lawyer or a banker or something.'" Then again, you can't really fight who you are. So after being unable to find the perfect bag for business school, Sabine said "Screw it, I'll create my own." Lacking any traditional training, but willing to learn from his mistakes, Sabine would run downtown between classes at Columbia to stalk his favorite designers and stores (as well as a few stylish bystanders), find materials, and literally knock on doors in order to create his first signature bag, The Hudson. Now, five years and many handsome bags later, Sabine has expanded his line to include accessories and menswear that fit his, albeit edgy, New England prep school aesthetic.
My grandmother and great grandmother were both seamstresses that came here from Latvia. They fled the old country and made it to Brockton, Mass. back when there were still a lot of garment and shoe factories there. There they would just work tirelessly to sew all these fancy dresses that eventually got shipped to New York, and then bring the pattern home to make an extra one for my mom. So growing up we had four or five closets full of these fantastic dresses and a house full of patterns and sewing machines. It was basically an archive of the 50s and 60s.
They passed away when I was young, but my mom was always willing to share their story and the value of their work. It's nice to bring it full circle. It's important to me.

Was PL&S ME just Palme by another name?
Published: MEA
UAE: It is very difficult to categorise the success or otherwise of the inaugural Pro Light & Sound Middle East. A look at the scale of the floor plan with only 43 booths would suggest that little has changed from the final Palme show. Indeed, the question was raised on the show floor of how many laps you could do with a gentle 10 minute stroll around the aisles.
There were also clear frustrations about the cost of floor space at the event. One of the constant comments from both exhibitors and those who decided to give it a miss this year concerned whether the show could deliver a return on investment for those who decided to take part.
Those visitors who had contemplated exhibiting no doubt left DWTC convinced they had made the right decision. Curiosity drew people to the show, but there was little evidence that visitors stayed for long or indeed that they would miss anything that meant they had to come back for a second visit.
Yet despite this, there was a sense of positivity amongst many exhibitors. The show never felt busy, but it was the right kind of people who were in attendance. There was a diverse crowd from across the region and despite taking place during the busy period for the live sound crowd who the show is aimed at, there were a few members of the rental community walking the show floor.
Optimism could also be drawn from the people who had decided to take stands. The end of the Palme show was categorised by a number of unfamiliar brand names blazing out across the show floor. At Pro Light & Sound there was only a small contingent that would match this criteria amongst some well-known manufacturers including Sennheiser, Bose, Genelec, Adam Hall and Penn Elcom as well as local distributors GSL, Martin Pro ME, Aaviss, AVL Electronic and Echo Beats.
Praise too has to be given to the organiser for a number of initiatives such as the outdoor loudspeaker demo area that gave attendees the chance to listen to systems from Electro-Voice, dBTechnologies, Dynacord and Z Sound and the broad education programme with sessions from the likes of RME's Joost Bullens and Jan Leerschool from Pan Acoustics. But it was the business match scheme that seemed to be drawing the most satisfaction from exhibitors as they were able to prearrange meetings with visitors who were actively seeking solutions.
It would be easy to brand this show as Palme by another name, and there are distinct echoes of the dearly departed gathering. Yet this has the feeling of an event that has been stripped of some of the negativity. There is no doubt the brand has encouraged some visitors and exhibitors to give the show a chance. But it will need more than just a strong brand name if it is going to grow into a successful and important regional tradeshow.
Pro Light & Sound continues at the Dubai World Trade Centre until November 2nd.

MONTGOMERY | With a championship at stake, baseball teams from Marengo Academy and Southern Academy stayed late at Paterson Field on Wednesday.
Marengo Academy (24-13) earned the AISA Class AA title by defeating the Cougars 5-1 and 7-6. Southern Academy opened the best-of-three series with an 8-2 victory on Tuesday.
The first game of Wednesday's doubleheader was almost two hours late getting started because other games ran long. The championship game ended around midnight.
Junior third baseman Wood Collins, the most valuable player, scored the winning run for the Longhorns. Collins led off the bottom of the seventh with a single. Two outs later, two Marengo Academy batters drew walks to load the bases. Collins scored on a wild pitch to make it 7-6.
'It was kind of like getting the monkey off our back,' said Marengo Academy coach Jonathan Lindsey. 'We couldn't quite seal the deal last year. We did it this year. All we talked about was getting back and winning it.'
Marengo Academy was the runner-up to Lowndes Academy last season in a series that went to three games.
The final game against Southern Academy featured five lead changes.
'Every time we step on the field together it's going to be an intense battle,' Lindsey said. 'I have a lot of respect for Coach [Steve] King and his program. He does a great job with his team.'
Collins had a hit in the opener on Tuesday. He hit a two-run homer in the Longhorns' 5-1 win. Marengo Academy's All-Tournament selections were Clayton Crocker, shortstop and pitcher; Chris Whitaker, outfielder; and Phillip Farmer, pitcher and outfielder. Jason Fondren, Chad Milner and John Kynard represented Southern Academy (17-16) on the All-Tournament team.
Farmer (7-4) pitched in relief to get the win in the final game. In 1
innings he allowed one hit and one run while striking out four.
Fondren (7-6) took the loss. He allowed eight hits and three earned runs, with six walks and nine strikeouts.
Farmer went 4-for-4 at the plate. Crocker went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI and a run scored.
King said Fondren went 3-for-4. In the top of the seventh, Fondren doubled off the wall in left-center field and eventually scored on a wild pitch to tie it at 6.
'Jason just crushed the ball the whole night,' King said. 'Chad Milner had a big night as well.
'Roshan Hira, our freshman third baseman, had a big run-producing double.
'It was one of the classic baseball games that I've ever been a part of. There was a lot of emotion with us being arch rivals and playing in a state championship game. There was a lot of orange and a lot of blue in the stands at Paterson Field. It was just a shame that a team had to lose, especially us.'
Crocker (7-3) pitched a complete game to get the win in Marengo Academy's 5-1 victory.
He allowed four hits and four walks and struck out five. Brian Stewart (2-3) pitched a complete game in taking the loss. He gave up eight hits and four earned runs. He walked two and struck out six.
Marengo Academy took a 2-0 lead in the top of the third. Trace Stenz doubled and scored on a single by Crocker, who advanced to second on a throw from the outfield. Crocker went to third when Farmer grounded out and scored when Whitaker reached on an error.
Southern Academy got its run in the fourth. Fondren reached on a fielder's choice and stole second. Stewart's two-out single drove in Fondren.
Marengo Academy added three runs in the sixth. Whitaker singled, and Collins homered to left field. Beau Digmon walked, Rabe Hale singled and Kyle Schroeder bunted for a hit to load the bases. Sha Hale grounded into a double play, but Digmon was able to score to make it 5-1.
Marengo Academy's defense turned three double plays.
'We tip our caps to Marengo Academy and congratulate them for winning the championship,' King said.
'We felt like there wasn't a loser in this series.
'This was the best baseball team I've coached. It was not the most talented team I've been around, just the best group of guys I've ever coached, and I've had some good teams in the past. We didn't win our last game, but they'll always be winners in the my eyes and in the eyes of everybody in Greensboro.'
During the 2007-2008 school year, Southern Academy won the Class AA football title and finished as the runner-up in basketball and baseball.

My goal as an educator is to inspire others to learn, and then to exchange knowledge with them. I believe this exchange breathes life into school campuses, classroom discussions, and individual conversations. I believe everyone is, simultaneously, a lifelong learner and teacher. Classrooms simply provide a space for learners and teachers to meet and explore what they know, and even more exciting, what is still unknown. To facilitate simultaneous teaching and learning in my classroom, I use diverse didactic techniques that encourage participation and critical thinking, e.g. in-class demonstrations, guest speakers, and interactive assignments. I also like to teach challenging material in my courses. It is an opportunity for both students and me to continue to learn. And, it is an opportunity to boost students' self-efficacy for learning challenging material both inside and outside my classes. Of course, I am supportive of students as we try to answer some difficult questions together. Consistent with this, past students have described my teaching style as warm, enthusiastic, and challenging but rewarding.
My commitment to teaching and learning has extended into my research career. My first peer-reviewed publication is a theoretically driven, qualitative analysis of undergraduate students' response papers, written as they completed course assignments related to becoming a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender ally. My goal in publishing this article was to create theory-driven research on pedagogy that helps educators tailor their approach to teaching culturally-sensitive information. My subsequent research has focused on health behaviors, health disparities, and well-being among couples and LGBT populations.
Research infuses my clinical career as well; I use empirically-supported treatments to work with individuals and couples with symptoms of anxiety and depression; substance use problems; mood dysregulation; and relational conflicts. I have a Private Psychotherapy Practice that allows me to continue developing my skills as a clinician and educator.

This is an extraordinarily long review, I know. But there is a lot of detail to cover to give you a comprehensive sense of what the service was like on our Etihad Airways flight to Abu Dhabi and back.**The Airline of Abu Dhabi knows how to treat a passenger**, especially if the passenger is paying the big bucks required to fly in business class. The decision to do so makes all kinds of sense, as the flight from North America to the United Arab Emirates is a 12-hour non-stopper. Can you imagine 12 hours in coach?Yes, people make long flights in coach. We used to do so when flying from Los Angeles to Australia and return. But we were younger then and would sprawl on the floor without a second thought, or across three vacant seats if we could find them together. The possibility of finding three seats across was more likely then, when airlines were a little more flush and planes flew with lower load factors.**But, back to business class on Etihad.** It starts in the Premium Lounge, a private lounge area for business class passengers awaiting flight departures. Every comfort is offered, from breakfast dishes (our flight departed at 10:00 AM from Toronto), coffee, juices, easy chairs and sofas, computer terminals and a low-buzz atmosphere to start the business class experience.On the plane, business class is immediately behind the First Class section and separated from coach by a galley. It is arranged with approximately a dozen compartmentalized seats. They are arranged as pairs for those who don't object to the intimacy of someone sleeping immediately next to them. Or, separated by partitions for those who want more privacy. Each seat is an enclosed space with a wall about four feet high. The seat faces a small bench, which has an individually -controlled video screen. A small stowage area is provided beneath the bench. **The seat itself includes controls for everything from an upright back to a flat bed.** When in the bed mode, the space is very comfortable place to sleep. (I did seven hours without waking.) There also is a spot massage and a wave massage feature. It is a wonderful way to reduce the stress of a long time sent on a plane.**We were not without entertainment options, however. **The video screen offers movies, documentaries and television show episodes. I watched several episodes of *Arrested Development *that I had missed.**The first thing that greets you on the screen, however, is a camera on the nose of the aircraft, an Airbus 340.** You watch as the plane taxis out to the runway and then as the ground beneath you accelerates and the plane is airborne.There also is a full audio program if that is what you desire. Sound is delivered through a set of earphones. It all is controlled by a remote hand set.When it is time to sleep, you push the "bed" button which moves the seat forward to meet the bench in front (mind your knees) with the seat back reclining to flat horizontal.**But first, be prepared to eat and drink.** The lunch menu includes such items as caramelized muhummer and onion roasted quiche with herb salad, potato pancakes with smoked ocean trout and horseradish cream, steamed salmon, Spanish-style chicken chilindron, crab and lobster spaghetti parmesan, spinach and parmesan arancini with fresh tomato sauce, organic five-leaf salad and steamed rice, with a selection of cheese and four sweets to choose from.**That doesn't include the "Anytime" kitchen menu.** Those additional selections are too numerous to mention. Everything on the menu is served throughout the flight by request. Despite the Muslim prohibition against alcohol, some top-drawer wines were offered. These included blanc de blancs French champagne, a French chardonnay, an Italian chardonnay/pinot blanc, a New Zealand sauvignon blanc, a Bordeaux red, a California pinot noir, a South Australian shiraz and a French sauvignon and muscadelle dessert wine. Then there were the spirits, from Chivas to Jack Daniels to Grey Goose to Courvoisier and Cockburn port.**Actually there was entirely too much to eat and drink,** which could lead to a very unpleasant next day. Alas, experienced flyers learn to pace themselves so that will arrive at their destination in reasonably fresh and sober condition.I mustn't forget to mention the toiletries kit given to each passenger. It is a convenient little black bag, suitable for many recycled uses, containing a sleep mask, slipper socks, water, toothpaste and brush and sampling of Aigner cosmetics. **Everything about this flight was excellent.** Especially arriving in Abu Dhabi and being "fast tracked" through formalities, with our son waiting to drive us to the villa he calls home.The return flight from Abu Dhabi to Toronto was mostly a mirror image of the outbound flight. Departure time was 2 AM, which could have been a problem except that business class includes a car to pick you up at home and take you to the airport. (We could have arranged a chauffeured car when we arrived but we were eager to see our son and vice versa.) **The difference was a more active premium lounge.** (It seems many Etihad flights leave Abu Dhabi in the early, early morning, and not just to cities that are half a globe away.) But the amenities were generous and, once we found a pair of empty seats, we were fine, or would have been if the flight departure had not been delayed for an hour.**The return flight was uneventful - except for the bottle of red wine a flight attendant spilled on my new trousers. **There was a flurry of rinsing with soda water and applying of Tide stick to mitigate the stain. Nevertheless, the trousers are still unwearable, unless our local dry cleaners can remove the residual discoloration. So that was a bummer. I will bill Etihad Airways to reimburse the cost of cleaning. I have no guarantee that they will respond.**All up, service on Etihad was superlative.** I would have given them a perfect score. But I can't ignore a wine bath, no matter how accidental. If you are planning a trip to the U.A.E., business class on Etihad is a great way to travel, perhaps the only way to travel considering the hours you will spend in the air.

My father Dr. M. M. Taqui khan and my mother Dr. Badar Taqui Khan were business class passengers on Etihad flight EY 150 on October 3, 2010. Their ticket numbers were ETKT 6077915916739-1 and 6077915916740-1. They boarded the flight on wheel chairs. They were moved from their wheel chairs to their respective seats on the plane. At that time the chief Air Hostess on that flight asked my dad if he will be able to assist my mother. My dad said yes. The air hostess then demanded very rudely that my dad demonstrate in front of the staff how he can take care of my mother. The air hostess was very arrogant, impolite and discriminatory. She brought the captain of the flight and the other crew and very uncourteously demanded that my parents leave the aircraft. My parents were removed from the aircraft.
Both my parents are handicapped senior citizens. The misbehavior of the crew of the aircraft has deeply shocked and hurt my parents and has left indelible, horrible memories from the mistreatment caused to them by your crew. They felt as though they were being treated as criminals and were being punished for having boarded the aircraft. My parents were subjected to a high level of stress and psychological trauma. They were removed from the aircraft and taken back to the ticket counter with their luggage. They had to wait near the ticket counter for hours, tired and exhausted with no food or water. My father is diabetic. This situation had put his life at risk. This could have resulted in putting him in a coma and other complications from lack of food.
The caregiver we had hired had already left once my parents were aboard the flight to India . Once they were removed from the plane, we had to start desperately making calls to find a caregiver. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate anyone at such short notice. Later, we had to hire a person at double the wages. I personally had to take off from work for two days with no notice. My sister, Nasreen Zaidi had to cancel her family vacation to accompany my parents to India . She had already purchased non-refundable plane tickets for the family to visit Denver and had to cancel the travel plans.
My parents are both retired professors of chemistry. They have spent their entire lives in service to society. You can Google my mom and my dad and see their contributions. They have both produced PhD students who are now professors of chemistry or industry scientists. The least they can expect back from society is respect.
This kind of treatment by Etihad crew is unacceptable by all ethical standards of civilized society.

Comments about Etihad Airways:
Etihad Airways adopts the philosophy of hospitality is unique, based on the establishment of the concept of upscale travel, out of our belief that the passengers on board the aircraft were guests and not just passengers, and this philosophy is reflected in our services high ground and air
More thing I like about this company is flying the colors of the interior give you a boost of psychological and visual relaxing colors is tiring for the eyes

Comments about Etihad Airways:
I flew from San Francisco to Abu Dhabi and then to Kathmandu. Then back from Kathmandu to Abu Dhabi. flight got delayed and missed. They were kind enough to fit me in flight to Los Angeles next morning and provided with voucher to spend a night at the airport hotel.
I upgraded my ticket to Business class from SFO to KTM. Compare to other international airlines, their service is poor in business class standard. It took hour and half to get my drink after plane took off from the ground in Business class - KTM To ABU. On the way back, I decided to try Economy class from Abu Dhabi to USA and found out it was the most horrible flight experience I had in the past twenty six years flying back and forth from USA to other countries.
Ok, let me make it clear, it was all about flight attendants. Sixteen hours of journey itself is not that easy. One needs to be hydrated constantly to keep with the long journey. However, attendants treated passengers like they are looking for free food and handouts. It was the most pathetic scene. If they can not provide "free" food or drinks, how about selling?
I think the management in Etihad Airlines is extremely poor and I would be hesitant to fly agin.
Needs major improvements on hospitality side.
Comments about Etihad Airways:
My family had an international travel on Etihad Airways three months ago. On reaching home, we found that many valuable items (which were bought as gifts for family) were stolen from our checked-in bags. Their total value is more than $2000. We have been contacting the airline since then but have not received a single response. We submitted the online baggage claim form, wrote more than a dozen e-mails, made phone calls, wrote a complaint on their website, and did everything but have not received a single response in three months. This is so frustrating and disappointing. Now I have decided to share this terrible experience with others, so they either avoid Etihad Airways completely or do not take anything new in their checked bags.
Comments about Etihad Airways:
I like some of the other reviews that I have read on this site and others have been at the sharp end of Etihad's sharp and slightly dishonest business practices. I was a member of their loyalty scheme, patently saving up for a family trip but when I went to see about booking it most of them had gone. I was shocked that a large number had gone missing. On investigation it seemed they had been 'expired' by the airline - no warning, no mention among all the junk they sent me imploring me to book extra journeys, they just disappeared. When I wrote to the Chief exec to explain why I wouldn't be using them again I just got what appeared to be a standard reply indicating that they had not even bothered to read my email properly. Well I won't be using them again and I can't recommend that anyone else does either.
Comments about Etihad Airways:
#Etihad_worst_Airlines_ever The worst between all Airlines, they are obviously cheaters, My nightmare started when I booked a ticket for my family from Abu Dhabi to Frankfurt round trip, and since not sure about the return I booked it refundable and paid extra charge, when I decided to refund the return ticket, they refused and denied that its refundable and when asked them about the extra charge, they simply answered that you lost it and the reason you accepted terms and conditions that are different than what you see on booking interface without any warnings, they let you do the process and pay more for fake products. "BEWARE"

Comments about Etihad Airways:
I had the opportunity of flying EtihadAirways from Nigeria in November, 2013 to Chicago. The plane I boarded (I want to believe) was relatively new. The interior was cozy and spacious and the flight attendants were very courteous. Unlike all the reports I have heard concerning this Airline, I had a really good time on this journey that lasted more than 24hours due to the weather and the stop-over at Abu-Dhabi. The food including the dessert was very nice and there was availability of various kinds of drinks. I was provided a bassinet to put my daughter in so that I won't be stressed for the long journey. Thanks to the experience of the pilots when we experienced turbulent weather that kept on tossing the airplane like a feather. Another thing that slightly marred the journey was the time delay which we experienced at Abu-Dhabi. It will be better if the flight is a direct one. I will gladly recommend this Airline if my opinion is needed.
Comments about Etihad Airways:
Flew Abu Dhabi to NYC was on a Jet Airways India flight. It was filthy. Etihad isnt the cheapest, I certainly felt ripped off. I was previously a huge Etihad fan so very very disapointed.
The flight was dirty. Toilets a disgrace. The staff uninterested.
In-Flight Accommodations
Seats were average. It would have been fine if it was clean.
Comments about Etihad Airways:
My company had booked tickets of Ethiad Airways about a year ago fora business trip where I was accompanied by six of my colleagues from my office. The tickets were of Business class and the travel time was of 6.5 hours. The in-flight accommodation was excellent and all the facilities and services required for passenger's comfort were made available. The seats were very comfortable and the airlines provided the right entertainment and headsets were provided during the journey. The staff members were attentive and were very polite while addressing us and they made sure that we feel comfortable during the travel.
The food served during the journey was excellent in taste and appetizing. The restrooms were very spacious with the latest equipment and the hygiene level was taken care off well. The complimentary drinks were the highlight of our entire journey. There is also a WiFi connection made available for the entertainment of passengers.
Comments about Etihad Airways:
I have heard horror stories from coworkers who have flown on Etihad AIrways and have not taken measures to upgrade their seats or move to an open row in economy. Due to the lack of popularity in the Etihad Airways brand, there are generally a few open seats scattered throughout the aircraft.
In-Flight Accommodations
The upgrade to business class is well worth the price with the increase of the in-flight accommodations available to those passengers seated in those seats on the aircraft. As I had an eight our overnight flight, that upgrade allowed me to have a flatbed seat and sleep for the majority of my flight. Unfortunately, due to the length of my time sleeping, I missed the meal that was offered during our flight. I woke up shortly before landing, therefore did not inquire whether I could obtain something to snack on. The beverages that were available on the beverage cart were part of your standard selection. I was able to have a glass of wine before falling asleep and was pleased by the options available.
Comments about Etihad Airways:
A unevitable experience which can happen to anyone when you are traveling with Etihad Airways. Bad part is it is at no mistake of passanger. This airlies promisses about good service but when situation comes, ground staff is horrible. Seems they are having disconnect between projecting their image and people executing them at the airpot/fligth.
Below is the situation:
1) I was traveling from Mumbai to New York via Abu Dhabi. My Mumbai to Abu Dhabi flight could not land at Abu dhabi on Mar 16th due to Fog. Totally understable that for safety reasons they landed flight in Muskat but the problem starts here. Flight attendants did not inform us before landing in Muskat what we will be doing in Muskat and how long we will be waiting there. Most of the passangers (including me) had connecting flight which we feared missing. We waited for 1.5 hour in plane then we were deboarded in Muskat. When we got down we were not kept informed what will heppen with our connecting flights. Lunch provided with 50 minutes wait in line. We were flown back to Abu dhabi after 3 hours. When i landed at Abu Dhabi with all the anxity i realized that I missed my New York flight.
2) I was told that I would be helped at airport with all the question/arrangements for next fligth. But what i saw is ground staff is working at very slow pace and handeling each customer care in 15 to 20 minutes. All the passangers were shouting and frusterated as staff was very unorganized and very casual with the sutuation.I had to waited in line for 5 long hours to get boarding pass for my flgith after 18 hours (not to forget it was after noon and I was awake all night).
3) I did not complain much but requested for hotel accomodation to crash and just sleep. No hotel accommodation provided as Abu Dhabi has only 30 to 50 rooms and all were booked. No phone card was provided .
4) I slept on sofa in Launge and some how spent 18 hours. I reached on time but next day again again same story flight got delayed by 3 hours. I feared that my luggage wolld have not been transferred to the flight to New York. I talked to Etihad employees and I was told that my luggage is moved to the plane i was boarding.
5) I reached JFK on Mar 16th just to realize that my luggage was never moved to my New York flight. I was so angry that Etihad Airways gave me false information.
6) I got my luggage after 44 hours from when i landed. On customer service recommendation I sent email to firstname.lastname@example.com to get my luggage. I claimed for compensation for not getting my luggage on time but I got a reply from customer service that I will not get compensated because New York was my country of residence and they don't pay copensation. Seems they make their own set of rules and apply them for their own benefit.
E-ticket number is ETKT 607 2108953178
Ground staff is not at all efficient to get work down in case of flight delays.
