Healthy Dehydrated Food
Fed up with the highly salted, bland meals we were eating, we made our own. We use high-quality natural ingredients, slow cook them in small batches, and with our dehydration technology give meals a two year shelf-life. There is no freeze-drying involved, no preservatives, and no ingredients you won't recognise.
How do we compare?
A typical freeze-dried meal
Typically, the ingredients of a freeze-dried 'meal' are dried separately and mixed together by the producer, so the only time the flavours actually meet is in your pouch when you add water. They also feature confusing ingredients like smoke extract, preservatives and glucose syrup, with large quantities of palm oil. Take a look below at how we compare.
All of our food is nutritious, delicious and simple. You'll recognise all the ingredients and you won't find any artificial additives, flavourings or preservatives. We only add salt as you would at home - for flavour.
As an example, a portion of our Chilli con Carne has…
50% less sugar
30% more carbohydrates
35% less salt
100% less palm oil
...than the market leading Chilli meals. And not only does our food taste good, but it's exactly what you need to fuel any adventure. Our Chilli con Carne provides…
60% of your recommended protein
30% of your recommended carbohydrate
35% of your recommended fibre
and only 18% of your recommended salt intake
(Based on the recommended daily intake for a UK male)

Lamour Nails & Spa
The sound of burbling water rises from whirlpool baths, rendering clients' sighs of relaxation nearly inaudible as they lower their feet into the warm tubs. Relaxation, however, is only one part of the equation at Lamour Nails & Spa, where technicians also beautify fingers and toes with gel, acrylic, and pink-and-white nail coverings. While the technicians shape nails and file down sixth fingers, a massage pedicure chair sends soothing rhythms throughout the body.

Pro-Choice License Plate — Love It or Leave It?
Some people keep their political opinions to themselves and others choose to put them on a license plate.
After vanity license plates became a popular form of pro-life activism, pro-choice advocates in Virginia are rolling out their own version. The plate is pretty basic — it simply reads: "Trust Women. Respect Choice." The proceeds benefit Virginia's Planned Parenthood affiliates and will be spent on pregnancy prevention services, not abortion. Sounds like a reasonable compromise to me.
While it seems fair for the state to let both sides of the debate have access to car bumpers, I'm not sure debates about women's reproductive rights are best left to license plate battles. What do you think?

Updated from 10:45 a.m. ET with Pimco and Allianz comments.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Research firm Morningstar doesn't believe Bill Gross's surprise departure from Pimco will pose an immediate risk to the firm's flagship Pimco Total Return Fund (PTTAX) mutual fund.
That bond fund, which had been managed by Gross since 1987, has had about $10 billion in outflows since the announcement on Friday of Gross's surprise move to Janus Capital Group (JNS) .
Must Read: Bill Gross Quits Pimco Amid Controversy
Watch the video below for more on what impact Bill Gross' departure is having on Pimco:
"We do not believe that these changes of Bill Gross's departure cause an imminent risk of significant outflows from the fund," said Morningstar's Michael Herbst, director of manager research for active strategies in North America.
As of Friday, the fund had $221 billion in assets under management.
Herbst said Pimco's Total Return Fund owns highly liquid fixed-income assets, meaning that only a sustained rise in outflows would cause the performance of Gross's Total Return Fund to suffer, potentially affecting broader fixed-income markets.
Morningstar has withdrawn its ratings on the Total Return Fund as it weighs the impact of Gross's departure and Pimco's appointment of Mark Kiesel, Mihir Worah and Scott Mather to manage the fund.
"We are very familiar and very comfortable with these three managers," Morningstar's Herbst said of the promotions. Kiesel was Morningstar's manager of the year in 2012. Worah is an expert in real estate and Mather an expert in global bond allocation.
Sweeping Change at Pimco
On Friday evening, Pimco made a series of promotions and new assignments in an effort to respond quickly to Gross's departure and restore investor confidence in the over $2 trillion bond fund manager.
Daniel Ivascyn, a long-time top manager at Pimco, was appointed the firm's group chief investment officer, while five other portfolio managers were given CIO roles.
The firm elected Andrew Balls, Virginie Maisonneuve, Kiesel, Mather and Worah as CIOs. Worah will also work with Balls to manage Pimco's trading floors globally. Ivascyn will work with portfolio managers Saumil Parikh and Mohsen Fahmi to manage Pimco's Unconstrained Bond Fund.
"The management and investment structure put in place in January as well as the thorough succession planning gives us complete confidence in PIMCO's investment and executive leadership team," Allianz CEO Michael Diekmann said in a statement.

I am running a Windows 2003 Server (Small Business Server) with Remote Web Workplace. I have certain users as members in the "Remote Web Workplace Users" security group that are able to use the remote web workplace to work from home. I would like to disable RWW for the domain's "administrator" account, however this access is still available despite removing the account from the "Remote Web Workplace Users" group. Is there a way to remove the RWW access from the administrator account?

Inherently NO - you cannot remove the administrator account from access.
As the account is an administrator, by giving remote access to the box, you essentially have to give access to the administrator for that box.
If you want to lock out an administrator, you would have to give them a second account with domain admin rights and then exclude them from the remote access.
I do not believe that you can excluse the administrator account from the global remote access - you could lock the keys in the car if you could.

The fashion accessories segment is all set to get a fresh impetus. Titan Industries, India's leading producer of wrist watches, has entered into an exclusive five year sub-licensing arrangement with GVM International Ltd., a member of the New York based Murjani group, to manufacture and market the Summer 2004 Tommy Hilfiger watch collection in India. The Tommy Hilfiger watch collection, comprising over 50 styles for men and women, would be priced between Rs 3,395 and Rs 8,995.
"The Indian fashion scene has always been in tune with international styles and trends. The launch of Tommy Hilfiger watches in India will further maintain our position with the fashion-conscious, self-indulgent, young urban Indian men and women." said Bijou Kurien, COO, Titan Industries.
"The launch of the Tommy Hilfiger watches takes us one step further towards our goal of introducing the complete Tommy Hilfiger lifestyle to the Indian consumer," said Vijay Murjani, Managing Director of the Murjani Group. He disclosed that four more Tommy Hilfiger outlets would be opened to add to the present three.
Kurien said that the marketing strategy for Summer collection 2004 will involve the introduction of an entirely new range every three months to ensure that each and every model in the collection is displayed.
Media planning and buying activities for the Tommy Hilfiger Summer 2004 collection will be carried out by The Media Edge, which is currently doing the media duties for Titan. The ad spend of Titan Industries for 2004-05 is pegged at Rs 40 crore, an increase of Rs 6 crore over the previous fiscal year. "We will focus on the niche magazines, as it is a reputed international fashion brand, and rely mainly on the international print campaigns of Tommy Hilfiger. We will just have to put them together," said Kurien.
The Summer 2004 watch collection by Tommy Hilfiger encompasses the spirit of freedom, American women, American classics and the inevitable Tommy girl. The collection introduces the uniquely styled 4WD category to the freedom collection and features new classics with a refined range like exotic skins and diamonds for women and bold and precise details for men, all with the Tommy Hilfiger signature details.
Tommy Hilfiger, named after the famous designer who is considered a pioneer in mass designer fashion, is a $1.9-billion global apparels and accessories company. Titan Industries markets watches under the Titan and Sonata brand names. The size of the premium fashion-watch industry in India is an estimated 3% of the organized market and is growing at a rapid 30%. Titan has set a target of making and selling over 7 million watches in 2004-05. It reported a turnover of Rs 798 crore in 2002-03. Titan markets its products in 30 countries worldwide. In India it has 163 outlets, called 'World of Titan Showrooms', spread across 102 cities.

The league is being considered as "outlawed" by Hockey Canada, the governing council of ice hockey in Canada. [3][4]
The first tryouts for the TNCHL was held on April 13, 2009, where 25 skaters showed up. [5] The league operates with 3 teams in its first year and are preparing to expand to 8 teams for the 2010-11 second year.

We had a fantastic meal here recently. We went with the calamari and rabbit has for entree. The rabbit was certainly the stand out of the two, but I enjoyed my calamari immensely as well. For mains it was the lamb and the beef. Both were excellent. The absolute highlight for us was dessert. We could not decide between the desserts and so went with the sharing plate. A brilliant move on our part as we got to try 3 different desserts, all of which were superb.
The service was perfect. It was attentive without being too 'in your face', and there was no hard sell. When we asked about sides with our meals, the waitress told us that the serves are generous, and so unless we were very hungry, one side would suffice. And she was right - we would have wasted a side dish if we had ordered two.
I have no hesitation in eating here again, and plan to do so as soon as we can organise another night off from the kids!

text: The moment of retirement brings a sudden shift from earning a paycheck and planning for retirement to a new reality and the need for a different income stream. With thousands of baby boomers retiring daily, financial professionals have an opportunity to help these individuals convert retirement savings into retirement income. Principal Income Protector SM , a new easy-to-use tool from the Principal Financial Group, ® helps financial professionals develop a customized retirement income plan for their clients. Powered by a proprietary algorithm created by QWeMA (Quantitative Wealth Management Analytics) Group, the tool provides an optimal product allocation strategy to generate a sustainable lifetime income. "We've reached a demographic tipping point and are in the midst of one of the largest financial transitions in our history, spurred by the 10,000 boomers a day hitting age 65. The paycheck that fueled boomers' savings is gone and with that comes an instant shift in mindset," said Jerry Patterson, senior vice president Retirement and Investor Services for The Principal ®. "Through our work with QWeMA, financial professionals now have a simple, yet important tool to help their clients attain financial security in a world without a paycheck." "We've created a mathematical approach to retirement income that not only helps individuals better plan for the next and important phase of their life. It visually demonstrates the importance of creating sustainable retirement income," notes Moshe Milevsky, professor at York University, founder of the QWeMA Group, and research director at CANNEX. Planning and saving for retirement are intuitive goals, but Patterson says planning how to make savings last throughout retirement requires a whole new way of thinking and a more customized approach. "This phase of life involves many complex decisions about a number of variables against some significant risks," said Patterson. "Without a steady paycheck, spending too much or making investment mistakes can very quickly unravel a lifetime of savings."

My inspiration for this piece was the name of the pen, Arctic Currents. I wanted something lighthearted and fun, but with good detail that would look cool in a video. I decided glaciers would be awesome because they have tons of shadows and highlights, which would give the ink a chance to show off its shading potential. I wrote out the text and drew the outlines of the glaciers with the pen. Then I set to work with a brush pen to fill in the highlights and shadows. I gradually built up the colors darker and darker until I had pure ink to darken the shadows. I then went in a blended between the light and dark shadows with a water brush pen.
I loved this pen. The nib was amazing and wrote so well. More importantly for me, it sketches like a dream, which I didn't expect. I used it to make some edges on the mountains and clean up a few shadows and the quick movement of sketching really worked out well with this pen and nib. It didn't catch the paper, didn't have trouble putting down ink, and it was totally reliable whether I was drawing slowly or quickly sketching.
I probably would have chosen a different ink to go with this pen, something more teal. The Noodler's Blue is a bit bright for the colors in this pen but it was a fun ink to work with and worked well with the glaciers theme. The huge variation in shades were quite fun to play with. Because it is a wetter ink, it worked very well with the Edison nib, but also moved nicely with the water in the brush pen. This ink is undoubtedly great for art and ink washes. It's fairly bright, so I wouldn't use it as an every day ink in a conservative work environment, but it is a definitely good for journaling or writing letters.
If I were to do this piece again, I'd probably make it a little lighter. There are some spots that I see where I feel like I made the shadows too dark. I would try and leave more white and highlights on the ridge tops and be more selective about my dark shadows. I love that I started with the lettering first. I always start with the picture first and I feel like I end up messing up the piece at the end when I do the text. Starting with the text lets me get the technical hard stuff out of the way and then I can relax and create.
Edison Nouveau Premiere Arctic Currents Winter 2016/2017 edition is available for a limited time at GouletPens.com for $175 in nib sizes EF, F, M, B, 1.1mm and 1.5mm. You can find Noodler's Blue in a 3oz. bottle for $12.50 or a 2ml ink sample for $1.25.

Rain In Spain Shuffles Cards
VALENCIA - A sudden thunderstorm half an hour before the start of the qualifying session and steady rain throughout shuffled the cards for the WTCC participants in Valencia. Alain Menu and Rob Huff nevertheless gave it their best, achieving third and fourth fastest times respectively. Nicola Larini struggled with his car's set-up but still managed to set the tenth fastest time which gives him a potentially good starting position in view of the reversed grid in tomorrow's second race. After the session, Menu's car failed the ground clearance test and his times were disallowed, putting him to the back of the grid in front of the cars which did not qualify but will be allowed to take part in the races.
Rob Huff (3rd): "I am pleased to be at the sharp end of the grid, but obviously a little disappointed at the same time. I set a first and second time in this morning's sessions, so I had hoped it would have stayed dry in the qualifying session since I felt I was very close to a pole position time. We didn't change too much on the car other than adjusting the front roll bar as we have only done so little running in the rain the last seasons it is always a bit of a gamble when you're supposed to get everything correct in just one half hour."
Nicola Larini (9th): "This was not an easy session. I was struggling with the way the car was set up and which in the wet didn't really suit my normal driving style, so I couldn't push as hard as I would have liked. Under braking I always had to be very gentle not to lock up at the front, but we still have to look into why that was. It's a shame really, because all weekend long I had a good feeling with the track, but under the new rain tyre rules which stipulate that you have to have a minimum 5mm thread each time you leave the pits you basically have to stay out as long as possible in case a dry line appears at some point. This also means you better not come in to make changes to the set up because otherwise you have to put on new tyres as well and you thus have to build up your level of grip again."
Alain Menu (23rd): "I did the best I could given the weather conditions. It was very tricky under braking as I kept locking up the rears. I couldn't play with the brake balance as that would have meant I'd probably lock up the fronts and go off. On quite a few occasions I started to slide and only just managed to get the car back. Then after the session my car failed the ride height test on one point of the front splitter, but I don't know whether this is due me riding the kerbs in a few corners or whether it is related to the new kind of rain tyres we still have to get used to. Needless to say this will affect my championship ambitions, but at the same time I will most likely have a very light car at the next race in Pau, which is still one of my favourites."

"If a Woman Dumps A Guy for another Guy, she will definitely dump This Guy too if some better guy comes along"
Is this statement always true?
A girl blew off a guy for me, and im confused if i will get dumped by this woman too?
- Yeah its always true.Vote A
- No, its not always true, Maybe she was just casually dating that guy or maybe she was super attracted to u so she blew off other dudes.Vote B
- Others (please give comments)Vote C

It's not always like that for sure. Everyone's different. Give her a chance if you care about her. We don't know what happened in her previous relationship, what was her previous boyfriend like. But always be careful. My ex-boyfriend dumped me and had about 4 girls after me...10|10|0
She completely did 180 on this guy, i mean they used to come together and he used to drop her in his car,
and as soon as i told her i like her , after that day she has completely blown that guy off,
what do u think what would have happened?
Was she was just going along with him without any attraction or she was super attracted to me?
I understand. Hard to tell, both maybe. Watch her behaviour and be careful but give her a chance.
Most Helpful Guy
Life's to short to worry about that stuff. We already talked about this a couple days ago lol. It sounds like you haven't talked to her about it, you should find out if it was a serious boyfriend or just someone she was dating.
there's a good chance she was hanging around with him and didn't want to be single, or just dating him and thought you were better so blew him off.
Will it happen to you? No one on the internet has one single clue, and you don't either. Just have fun with her and see how things go. Maybe you will get rid of her because she's boring, its dating for reason.10|10|0

President Daniel arap Moi of Kenya was accused yesterday of copying Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe after agreeing to a bill that will curb media criticism of his government in a crucial election year.
As an unprecedented opinion poll showed that only 23.5 per cent of voters approved of his government, there were further signs of a crackdown on opposition after police beat up a leading rebel in the ruling party who criticised the president at a rally.
Despite international condemnation, Mr Moi said he would sign the media bill into law after it was rushed through parliament last week. The legislation will effectively force various independent news publications, most of them critical of Mr Moi, out of business by requiring them to pay a £9,500 security licence that is well beyond their means.
Two copies of every newspaper must be lodged daily with a government registrar. Opposition MPs and media analysts say Mr Moi will be able to excise any article that offends the government. The penalty is a five-year jail sentence.
"The difference between here and Zimbabwe is merely one of style," said Paul Muite, the parliamentary leader of the opposition Safina Party. "In Zimbabwe they were more open about what they were doing. Here there is more sophistication and more hypocrisy. Should it be necessary for Moi to be worse than Mugabe, he will be."
The International Federation of Journalists and the Human Rights Watch pressure group said the law was "repressive" and "potentially seriously damaging to press freedom".
Aidan White, the federation's general secretary, said: "Systematic attacks by the Kenyan government against freedom of expression sketch a grim picture of the country."
Bookshops have removed foreign newspapers and books containing criticism of the government after several were visited by plain-clothes police. The fate of foreign newspapers under the bill is ambiguous.
Unless there is a change in the constitution, presidential elections must be called by December. Mr Moi has been in power for 24 years, 14 of them as leader of a one-party dictatorship, and does not intend to go quietly.
- Zimbabwe has begun evicting about 12,000 black families occupying white farms and other land not listed for seizure under President Mugabe's land reforms. White farmers welcomed the move, the first since the state sanctioned invasions two years ago.

I need a query that can help me retrieve the summary name from a custom section row header information. We have a couple of Denorm tables that when the data is denormalized, the row_name field is only showing the denormalized alias name. We would like to be able to pull the summary name from the row header information section? How can we use the denorm alias name and join it to another table to find the associated summary name?
The following query returns the row name as well as the denorm row name, for a given custom section, where we specify the custom section by the denorm table. You oculd do this in other ways, it just depends on how you want to retrieve the information. Is this what you are looking for?
SELECT ml.Name [rowName], ml.langID, dr.NAME [denormRowName], dr.FKROWTEMPLATE, dt.GENERATED_TABLE_NAME
FROM DENORM_CS_ROW dr

Salted Eggs
Be the first to review
READY IN: 504hrs 5mins
Recipe by Allotta
taken from angie's recipes, http://schneiderchen.de/ we used to purchase salted duck eggs before they became a banned imported item. so now my grandma does it with regular eggs. she soaks them in salt water for months. but this recipe takes a few weeks.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
Directions See How It's Made
- Bath the raw eggs in a small bowl filled with rice wine.
- Coat each egg with a layer of sea salt and place them in a Ziploc bag and let stand in a cool place (not refrigerator) for about 3 weeks.
- Yolks should be a bright orange color and quite firm. The white should be slightly cloudy and still runny.
- Remove eggs from salt bath and store them in the refrigerator if not ready to use immediately.
- At this stage, they will still be raw and ready to add to other dishes. The whites will be really salty, but the yolk will be fatty and delicious. You can boil them and just eat them as a side dish, make a batter to fry seafood in, put the yolks in mooncake/jung. put the yolks in a steamed egg custard -- the possibilities are endless.

SPORTS OF THE TIMES; Adios, Freddie, Adios
By George Vecsey
Published: March 29, 1991
In the clubhouse, where all the players have nicknames, the Dodgers called him Freddie, to Anglicize his given name.
But the public knew him as Fernando, as in Fernando-mania, a phenomenon that struck southern California in September 1980 and escalated in the season of 1981.
It was the baseball version of selling one's soul to the devil. For 10 full major league seasons, Fernando Valenzuela wrenched his arm in the opposite direction to throw the hellish pitch known as the screwball.
Yesterday, his pitch of choice caught up with him. The Los Angeles Dodgers released him at the age of 30 before they had to make good on his 1991 salary of $2.55 million. If that sounds familiar, it should.
The same thing happened to Bo Jackson last week when the Kansas City Royals did not think Jackson's injured hip would allow him to drive a baseball this season. Today's multimillion-dollar salaries permit even less margin for sentiment than in the past.
Fernando Valenzuela's homely mug was never exploited by the hucksters the way Bo Jackson's face was. But Fernando was bigger, better, longer and even more fun than Bo.
In all the years of baseball, there was never quite a time like that of Fernando-mania, when the poor youth from Mexico suddenly materialized.
He was portly and ungainly, and he began every sentence with "Bueno," just as shy American athletes begin every sentence with "Well."
Even Mexican-Americans conceded that he would win no beauty contests. But he was beautiful. Some people saw Babe Ruth in him. He could pitch. He could hit. He could field his position. And he could run, even with that belly and that rump.
The Dodgers brought him up late in the 1980 pennant race and he did not give up a run in 10 games.
Tommy Lasorda, who looked grim yesterday when he spoke of "the honor and the privilege" of managing Fernando, will admit that he blew the 1980 playoff with Houston by not having the guts to pitch the 19-year-old pheenom.
But Lasorda learned his lesson by 1981, starting Fernando on opening day and using him as often as he could. Fernando-mania was in full session.
Lasorda, who spoke colloquial Spanish from his years in the winter leagues, made the new man feel at home with a quick quip. And southern California adopted the 12th child of humble farmers from Etchohuaquila in the state of Sonora.
There are men and women who look like Fernando Valenzuela standing on busy street corners all over southern California, wearing straw hats and selling oranges and grapes off trucks for low prices. There are women who work hard to clean motel rooms and smile when thanked in their own language. And of course, in southern California, there are lawyers and doctors and teachers of Mexican ancestry.
Every one of them now had a hero in the burly, quiet, polite youth. When he pitched at the palace the O'Malley family had built in Chavez Ravine, the attendance rose by an average of 9,000 tickets.
When the Dodgers went on the road in that first manic spring, the pitcher had his personal interpreter, a worldly Dodger Spanish-language broadcaster named Jaime Jarrin who would help at the news conferences.
The Dodger players did not need Jarrin's good services. They had body language. Freddie and Bob Welch had a contest to see who could shove whom out of the most elevator doors at the wrong floor.
In 1981, the youngster won 13 games, lost 7, and the Dodgers won the World Series, and Fernando became the first pitcher to win rookie of the year and the Cy Young Award in the same year.
Freddie was the key Dodger from the era of Garvey to the era of Hershiser. He gave them confidence with that bizarre motion, the eyes raised to the heavens, then the sudden downward thrust, the screwball breaking away from a right-handed batter, inward to a left-handed batter, which is why they call it a screwball.
He was a husband and a father and he could conduct interviews in decent English when the arm began to look tired in 1986, while he won 21 games.
People always said he looked older than his years, but it was his left arm that aged most rapidly. Last year his record was 13-13, including a no-hitter, but his earned run average was 4.59.
In his major league career, Fernando Valenzuela has won 141 and lost 116. Yesterday, Lasorda said, "I will never forget Fernando and all he has done for me and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The manager praised him as "a great talent and a great competitor" and said, "I want to thank him for all the memories."
Now they are all memories. Yesterday, the Los Angeles Dodgers cut Fernando Valenzuela and his $2.55 million salary. Fernando-mania is history.

HIV alone does not kill you.
When HIV progresses, it will begin killing the important cells in the immune system (these cells are called CD4 cells). Because of this, minor infections like the common cold become a serious health risk to the body as the immune system no longer has enough strength to fight off such infections.
HIV will soon progress into AIDS, which is an extremely serious disease that will completely take out the Immune cells in the body after short time. Individuals die from HIV/AIDS because of this, and not from the infectious diseases alone.

The 33-year-old mezzo-soprano said yes to Andrew Levitas' marriage proposal on April 15.
Katherine Jenkins finally confirmed that she's engaged to writer and director Andrew Levitas. The singer showed off a big diamond ring last week during a lunch date at Langham's Hotel.
Levitas proposed to Jenkins on Tuesday, April 15 in the Hamptons. "Andrew proposed in the Hamptons at his family home on Tuesday. It has been a whirlwind romance but both families are absolutely thrilled," a source close to the singer said.
Jenkins tweeted on Sunday, "Thank you for all your lovely wishes of congratulations. They mean so much to us." A rep of Jenkins confirmed to PEOPLE, "Katherine is over the moon." The couple has been dating since last October after meeting in New York.
According to Daily Mail, they plan to get married in 2015 and are likely to hold the ceremony in Wales where Jenkins' family lives. There will also be a small service in the States where Levitas was born.

Another chapter in the fight to keep Johnson and Grant elementary schools in Davenport open came to a close Tuesday after an administrative law judge affirmed the Davenport Community School District board's decision to close the schools.
But is it the last chapter.
For Alan Guard, one of the parents leading the fight to keep the schools open, it is time to move on. For Brenda Jordahl-Buckles, president of the Johnson PTA, an appeal of the ruling remains an option.
"I'm not going to fight it," said Guard, who has announced his candidacy for one of the two open spots in this year's school board election.
"Clearly, we are disappointed by Judge (Susan) Anderson's ruling," he added. "However, we appreciate her hard work in making a very difficult decision and we will respect her ruling."
He said by making the district aware of the Barker Guidelines — a set of procedures Iowa school districts must use to involve the public in a decision to close a school — "we did something to help protect the rights of all the parents in the district. Everyone will benefit from this."
"I'm very, very disappointed," said Jordahl-Buckles, saying that her group is considering another appeal. An appeal must be filed within the next 20 days, according to the Iowa Department of Education.
"At this time, with the ruling just coming down, we're trying to absorb it," she said. "This ruling does not change what I believe in, and I believe in small, neighborhood schools."
"This goes beyond Johnson and Grant. They think it's a quick fix, and it's not. It sets a terrible precedent."
Superintendent Jim Blanch said the road to this decision has been equally rough for everyone, including him.
But long before the ruling, the district's focus had changed to helping the students adjust to their new environments, and helping parents adjust to the change, he said.
"These are our families," he said. "They are our parents, our students. We're working with every family to help them make the transition and to visit their new school. And through the summer, we will communicate with people to let them know the doors are open.
"It won't be long before people realize that the schools the students are going to have just as caring staffs and communities as the schools they are leaving," he said.

ITEM#: 10023878The Coen brothers have done it again. Mixing in Leninist philosophy, mistaken identity, crazy characters, a kidnapping plot, and a deep love of bowling, they have unleashed upon an unsuspecting world the many glories of THE BIG LEBOWSKI. Jeff Bridges plays Jeff Lebowski, known as the Dude, a laid-back, easygoing burnout who happens to have the same name as a millionaire whose wife owes a lot of dangerous people a whole bunch of money--resulting in the Dude having his rug soiled, sending him spiraling into the Los Angeles underworld. The film is beautiful to look at, especially the scenes in the bowling alley, which feature a vast array of bizarre characters--including Steve Buscemi, John Turturro, Sam Elliott, and the movie-stealing, riotously funny John Goodman as the Dude's crazy best buddy. As usual in Coen brothers films (BARTON FINK, RAISING ARIZONA), the dialogue is hysterically warped; the plot is confusing, complicated, and kinetic; the soundtrack is virtually another character; and the acting is weirdly stellar. THE BIG LEBOWSKI is yet another thoroughly entertaining foray into the strange and fascinating world ruled by Joel and Ethan Coen.

[Courtesy of Men's Health] Popeye must have been onto something with his spinach habit: The sailor's favorite snack can offset the damaging effects of a known carcinogen called PhIP found in cooked red meat, according to a recent study published in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research.
In lab tests, rats with induced colon cancer tumors were either fed a diet with or without approximately 30 grams of fresh spinach a day for a year. The results? The rats fed the spinach diet had almost half as many tumors as they did at the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, the rats on the regular diets had more tumors.

Foods To Get You Through A Flight
How does it work? Agents in spinach—chlorophyll, carotenoids, omega-3 fatty acids, and micronutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants—fight tumor formation and decrease the amount of cancer-promoting molecules by affecting signaling pathways regulating cell functions, says Mansi Parasramka, PhD, postdoctoral researcher at Oregon State University, and an author of the study.
So will serving your steak with a side of spinach help protect you from the big "C"?
"Definitely," Parasramka says. "Studies have shown that two-thirds of cancers can be controlled by lifestyle modifications, including diet. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables will significantly offset the effects of this carcinogen."
The Weird Reason You're Eating Too Fast
Eat one cup of cooked spinach, or two cups raw, four times a week to get the most benefits, advises Susan Bowerman, assistant director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of California at Los Angeles.Copyright © 2017 Rodale Inc.

GIANT marionettes are back on the streets of Liverpool - two years after their last visit to the city.
The huge figures began the three-day commemoration of World War One at about 10.30am.
About 30,000 people saw one of the characters lying as if asleep ahead of the event from Wednesday.
Crowds queued for more than an hour to see the 25ft marionette at St George's Hall.
Another of the figures, Little Girl Giant, "woke up" at 10.30am and walk through the city with her dog Xolo.
Their route is from Queensway Tunnel, through the city centre to the Chinese Arch by 1pm for a siesta.
Thirty minutes later the Grandma Giant will leave St George's Hall for a waterfront walk, arriving at Salthouse Dock for 1.30pm.
The giants will be rested until late afternoon.
Grandma Giant will start off again at 4.30pm for a stroll from the Albert Dock and along the waterfront, before heading up Brownlow Hill and Mount Pleasant past the Roman Catholic Cathedral up to Edge Hill and Kensington, eventually arriving at Newsham Park by 7.30pm.
Little Girl Giant and Xolo leave the Chinese Arch at 5pm to go through Canning Street past Falkner Square, past the Anglican Cathedral and into Edge Hill, arriving at Newsham Park by 19:00.
Royal de Luxe, the French street theatre company behind the spectacle, said the figures would cover 30 miles in total over the weekend.
Hundreds of thousands of people saw the last Giants event in 2012, which commemorated the sinking of the Titanic.
This year's event, running until Sunday, will end with the three giants parading around the Three Graces and sailing away on the River Mersey.

My bf and i have been dating for 9 months and started living together after 2 months of dating as he is the one that asked me to move in. We fight more then most couples do at 9 months I'm sure. But one of the big reasons is because I am insecure (as he makes me feel like that sometimes) and i have trust issues from guys in my past and a few things from when we have been dating. He makes me feel insecure because he gets turned on easily and sometimes will flirt. Which makes me feel like I'm not good enough or skinny like the other girls. With the trusting issues I have questioned him about cheating on me because I had that feeling but he said he never has and never will. He broke up with his ex gf because she cheated on him. He cheated on her when they first started dating but they dated for 3 years so that was awhile ago and he said he hasn't done it since. When I thought he was lying about something I found out he was telling the truth instead. For one example I thought he was texting this girl so he showed me his phone bill and I didn't see anything on it. I think I'm just use to the assholes in my past as one guy I was with was hanging with other girls while we were hanging out. We never dated but felt like we were. He can be a smartass/jerk sometimes too. Which i know it runs in his family. Another thing is is that he bought his gf 500 autostart for Christmas one year and not sure what other things he bought her. But since we been dating for 9 months he has bought me flowers, wireless Internet Whem we first started dating and a tshirt. Whenever I ask him to buy me something he says I have no money. Which sometimes he doesn't have much but he has a card he can put it on just like when he wants something he has no problem with getting it.
So my question is why doesn't he ever wanna buy anything when I want it but if he wants it then it's all fine?
Most Helpful Guy
Because it's HIS money and he has no obligation to spend it on YOU. If you want something, work for it like everyone else.20|20|0
It's hard to believe women are soo delusional. Borderline mental illness.
- Show AllShow Less
"Borderline" is being generous, haha.
You cannot expect a guy to buy you ANYTHING. Everything he buys you should be on his own accord and you should appreciate it. If you ask him to buy you something, it's crossing a line, IMO.

20th C Salvador Dali
Probably the best way to talk about Salvador Dali's work is to start by looking closely at a tiny painting he made in 1931 call the "Persistence of Memory."
Today we are pretty used to seeing airbrush and Photoshop works that have a high degree of polish and illusionist qualities. You can go to interest and type in photographic surrealism and you would find literally hundreds of images that are dreamlike, clever, but also very convincing in their realism. Dali was the first painter to make a very realistic painting of surrealistic ideas.
If you look at this painting, you'll see that it has the illusion of deep space. The background and it's colors clearly reference the Renaissance tradition of atmospheric perspective also called "sfumato." There is a clear horizon line and there are vanishing points in several areas that are consistent throughout the picture which unifies the space and makes it look real. The light and the shadow or shading, also called in Italian "chiaroscuro", are also consistent throughout the picture and finish off the picture with a sense of light and shadow that convinces us that what we see could be real.
The mountains in the background are a type of cliché of mountains on the edge of a sea. Dali describes the mountains almost as if he were a Baroque a Renaissance painter, however, he does use some warm and cool tones, which are little closer to more contemporary color theory influenced by the Impressionists.
Dali uses an abrupt tonal or shading shift between the foreground and the background which highlights or spotlights almost a form of tenebrism the weird melted clocks and semi-biological creature laying in the center of the picture plane. The clocks, the tree, and even the ants are realistically depicted even though they are not real things. For example, the small old clock in the lower left foreground in which the ants crawl on, has a very realistic shading scheme on it which includes a core shadow and reflected light. The metal edging around the other clocks are rendered or shaded in a very traditional consistent manner with what artists who paint realistically learn how to do. Even on the fleshy pink thing in the center of the picture you can see that there's a little bit of reflected light along what you might think of as the head of it that looks like a nose and eyelashes.
So one of the things that distinguishes Salvador Dali at the beginning of his career, later on he gives up this kind of technique, is the realism in which he renders unrealistic things such as the clocks, the landscape, and the weird creature in the center. People tend to look at paintings, especially untrained people who aren't necessarily art historians were art critics, and use the level of realism that the artist is able to accomplish as a type of value system in which to decide whether or not they think the painting is good or not.
Other Surrealists from this time, didn't or weren't as accomplished in terms of illusionistic painting as Salvador Dali. When you look at René Magritte's paintings, yes they are pretty realistic but the realism really isn't as clear and as well executed as Salvador Dali's early paintings especially his painting of his wife.
In order to understand what the painting means, or what the symbols in the painting might me, it's probably important to talk about Salvador Dali's relationship to the art world and a little bit about who he was as a person and his biography.
Early in Dali's career he allied himself with the Dada movement as well as the surrealist movement. These early painters got their ideas partially from some of the events surrounding World War I and also the birth of psychological theory advocated and developed by Sigmund Freud. Most notably one of the ideas is that there is an unconscious mind that thinks in terms of symbols and is often expressed either by catatonic people or in a dream state. Many of the artists who call themselves "Surrealists," were very well-versed in Sigmund Freud's ideas and also believed that there was the possibility of reaching something more universal by working with, "archetypes." Carl Jung a colleague of Freud's came up with several theories, such as the term gestalt, archetypes, and collective unconscious, to describe a type of database of symbols or imagery that were universal symbols for the dreaming mind. Dali and the other artists subscribe to this belief and started attempting to tap into that unconscious mind.
Although René Magritte has a reputation that is close behind Salvador Dali's, and many of his ideas in his paintings are types of visual puns and plays on intellectual concepts, Dali is still significantly more famous and in the 1930s and 40s I suspect that there was some professional jealousy towards him. Probably the most important fact to know is that the Surrealists shunned Salvador Dali after she started endorsing commercial products and using his reputation as a surrealistic artist to make money. Dali designed clothing, staged photographic sessions, and even endorsed pantyhose. He's also known for making a surrealist film and even for working a little bit with Alfred Hitchcock later on. Often artists look at other artists who are successful, especially the merchandise their work, as being too commercial or even prostituting their art. In my opinion I think that's unkind and probably just professional jealousy. You are art history teacher will probably have a knee-jerk reaction against that idea. Needless to say, Dali is often written about as being a failure after the 1940s and there are even attacks against his wife Gala, as being a shrew or a negative influence on him and his art.
A couple of important contextual things, that may or may not be completely accurate, so you may need to feel a bit more research to verify this, is that there's a story about Dali's father showing him a picture of or medical journal that contained images of body parts and the effects of venereal disease on the human body. Several scholars have suggested that Salvador Dali's father was attempting to make him turned off to sex and instill fear venereal diseases in him however, some scholars have suggested that this was turned into a sort of reverse interpretation by Dali and that the images for him were somehow erotic or turned him on. I like this notion because it applies directly to looking at the iconography or the symbols used specifically in, "The Persistence of Memory."
If you were to ask Salvador Dali, when he was alive, to explain his work, he wouldn't do it in a way that would satisfy you. He actually used his persona as a sort of outrageous person and an artist to say outlandish things and also almost incomprehensible crazy sounding things about himself and about his work. So we're kind of left with common sense and a little bit of factual information to figure out what his paintings might mean and specifically this one, "The Persistence of Memory."
Here's how I think and interpretation of this painting might work. You have a barren almost endless landscape complete with atmospheric perspective and a kind of endless backdrop behind some very clear or clearly rendered impossible things.
If you look at the history of art history, and you remember the painter Masaccio, in his painting from the early 15th century, "The Tribute Money," you can see that there is a type of endless landscape in the left-hand side picture plane. For Masaccio it probably meant the realm of the eternal or endless world. It's possible that he actually meant it to be representation of a religious concept called, "the city of God." The right-hand side of Masaccio's picture is often interpreted to be the temporary or temporal world of the secular person. Sometimes referred to as, "The City of Man." Using Masaccio's work as the sort of precedent, and also the fact that this is often used in cinema and photography, even in our national and from in the United States there is a reference to the landscape as being endless and a sort of eternal spiritual realm, that's probably why Dali painted the environment he did. If you think about it relates directly to the title which is a sort of clue that this is about memory and persistence, often terms that are used to describe something eternal.
If you are a couple those themes of time, eternity, spirituality, you may start looking at the clocks in a slightly different way. Melting clocks would not be able to keep time. In fact the clocks are soft and not very hard edged the way the cubes are and some other things. Is this a representation of how we think about time? Time and memory often become less distinct and melt as one moves forward in time. Police know this because they often need to question a witness immediately after the event and sometimes months after event happens the witness's memory changes of the event. Their memory goes "soft."
There are also images of decay in this, for example the ants that are crawling on the pocket watch and the foreground are almost feeding on it and sometimes when filmmakers and photographers describe the passage of time they'll actually show worms or ants crawling on something that is decaying to give a sense of time passing. In detective shows, the same thing is true and often to show the passage of time or the age of even a corpse they'll analyze the insects crawling on it.
The theme of decay and softness might be combined with the anecdote concerning Dali seeing the book on venereal diseases that his father showed him to scare him off of illicit sex. In fact there are some really hard to understand quotes by Dali about how the fleshiness of the images he saw in that book became something that was eroticized for him or sexualized in some way. We cannot know if this is absolutely fact but I think it's not much of a jump to think that somehow this weird biological thing in the center of the picture could represent or be linked to sexuality, decay, and even more contemporary theories about how biology works and how the brain works.
It's possible, especially given the title and what we know about Salvador Dali's biography and the kinds of things he talked about that this is just a dreamlike interpretation of the decay of someone's memory or how inconstant and transitive human thought and memory are.
