Welcome to the new and improved National School Lunch Program from Dining Services for the 2015 – 2016 school year. We would like to welcome Ms. Evangelina Lawson as the School Lunch Coordinator for both Ruth Murdoch Elementary and Andrews Academy. The School Lunch program is committed to providing wholesome and nutritious meal plans to our students, by providing a variety of whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables whenever available.
As the standards of nutrition for the National School Lunch program continue to change on the national level, we are continually broadening our nutrition and menu options to accommodate these new changes. This year, your child will benefit from more new entree and a-la-cart menu choices than they have ever had before.
They will now have the choice between three entrees: beans and rice, peanut butter and jelly, or the entree of the day. Your child may continue to purchase an additional menu item from the a la cart menu. We hope that with this addition to your child's options it will encourage them to make healthier choices and provide them with the tools needed to create a diet of variety and balance.
As in previous years, your child may choose a minimum of three components of a healthy and balanced plate for their lunch, but are encouraged to choose all five components. The National School Lunch Program used to be based on the National Pyramid Standard. However, it is now based on the MyPlate.gov program. With this program there are a total of five components for a healthy and balanced plate: Fruits, Vegetables, Grain, Protein, and Dairy. We would like to encourage participation in choosing all five components of the MyPlate.gov program. We are planning to offer special games or activities to make learning the different food group varieties in the MyPlate.gov Program fun for your child. For those attending Ruth Murdoch Elementary, your child may notice that we have color-coded all of the menu items based on the food group that they are in. This is to help your child easily identify what food items are in specific food groups, and to encourage them to get as many food group colors on their plate as possible.
If you like to plan your child's lunches for the month, please check this monthly updated School Lunch Menu
We offer hot food items daily. This includes the option of rice and beans in addition to the regularly provided hot meal. Juices are only an a la carte option and there is no salad bar supplied.
We offer hot food items daily. There is also a daily option of a salad bar in a addition to the hot items. Students may also purchase a la carte options such as an extra entree of peanut butter and jelly, juices, water, Sunchips, and granola bars in addition to their meal.
The hot food items available at these schools can be purchased as a meal for one price or the individual menu items can be bought at an individual price. The total price would include an entree and salad bar. The a la carte options are sold individually. Meal plans are recommended, but not required since items can be sold individually. Both meal plans and cash are accepted. To set up a meal plan you can download and fill out our PDF version of the Meal Plan Contract for either Andrews Academy or Ruth Murdoch, or contact firstname.lastname@example.com. If you need financial assistance for your meal plan you can download and fill out our PDF version of the Financial Assistance Meal Plan.

Whole Foods Requests Competitor Information
The supernatural asked for the data to aid it in its legal battle with the FTC over its 2007 merger with Wild Oats.
Whole Foods Market, Inc., yesterday asked competitors in 29 markets to provide pricing and other confidential information to help it defend its merger with Wild Oats against a challenge from the Federal Trade Commission, according to a published report.
In letters to the rival food retailers, c.e.o. John Mackey promised the documents would be reviewed only by attorneys working on the case, according to e.v.p. John Sud. Some competitors said they would provide the information while others refused to comply, Sud noted during a conference call yesterday. He declined to name the companies that were contacted, Bloomberg reported.
Austin, Texas-based Whole Foods completed its $565 million acquisition of Wild Oats in 2007 after the FTC was unable to block the deal over concerns the merger would be detrimental to consumers by driving up prices and reducing competition. The company has since sold 35 of the 110 stores it acquired, closed others, and rebranded most of the rest, according to Sud.
After a successful appeal in July, the agency reopened its antitrust review of the merger. A trial before an FTC administrative law judge is scheduled for April 6.
The FTC told a federal judge this week that Whole Foods, which now has 270 stores, should be ordered to rebrand former Wild Oats stores and keep them as a distinct unit until the review is completed.

What follows is not a scientific reflection, or perhaps it is an appeal for one. Having been a member of the Board of Directors of SIETAR (The Society for Intercultural Education Training and Research) on multiple occasions, both in SIETAR Europa and SIETAR France, I observed that the membership of this organization seemed to hover, give or take, at about 80% female. I asked myself why this is the case. I could only theorize, and I came up with the following potential, perhaps partial answers:
- Intercultural work for a long time was seen as a sort of "soft science" (if the science at all) and therefore like many posts in HR and helping professions, the more female then male domain.
- Many women entered the field as a result of being trailing spouses in expatriation assignments abroad. In many cases, without working permits, they found themselves in volunteer assignments, often with a more significant local interface than that of their husbands.
- Besides learning the local language, some of these spouses discovered that they could be freelance teachers and coaches of the native language they brought with them. The soon discovered that teaching language without understanding the culture that it bespoke was incomplete, and so immersed themselves in greater cultural exploration, becoming both fascinated with this dimension of experience and increasingly professional. The growing availability of courses and workshops about intercultural managers transformed them into professionals in the field. For quite a few of these women raising children abroad were compelled to observe and actively participate in the transfer and clarification of the role of culture in their lives.
Of course each person's career trajectory will have its own defining moments and it is perhaps a combination of factors, perhaps those that I have mentioned, but also others that will be at play.
It would be interesting to hear more of these career stories from those who would like to share them.

Instead, said James Robinson, who writes the new series, Alan Scott is the retooled version of the classic Lantern whose first appearance came in the pages of "All-American Comics" No. 16 in July 1940.
And his being gay is not part of some wider story line meant to be exploited or undone down the road, either.
"This was my idea," Robinson explained this week, noting that before DC relaunched all its titles last summer, Alan Scott had a son who was gay.
But given "Earth 2" features retooled and rebooted characters, Scott is not old enough to have a grown son.
"By making him younger, that son was not going to exist anymore," Robinson said.
"He doesn't come out. He's gay when we see him in issue two," which is due out Wednesday. "He's fearless and he's honest to the point where he realized he was gay and he said 'I'm gay.'"
"It was just meant to be — Alan Scott being a gay member of the team, the Justice Society, that I'll be forming in the pages of 'Earth 2,'" he said. "He's just meant to be part of this big tapestry of characters."
It's also another example of gay and lesbian characters taking more prominent roles in the medium.

Reviews of Bride Brook Health & Rehabilitation Center
xxxx3xxxx September 14, 2015
I am a friend or relative of resident
Horrible staffing, a family member was here following surgery. Lack of nurses attention to a seriously high fever for days. Some of the nurses are amazing, however most of the staff I came in contact with wanted nothing more to do than write on a piece of paper and go to lunch.
Joe Sr. December 11, 2014
I am/was a resident of this facility
Bride Brook Health and Rehabilitation Center is very excellent. I would go nowhere else. The staff members are overworked, but they take good care of their patients. The rooms are very spacious. They have all kinds of activities -- everything you could think of.
Sad in Niantic May 24, 2012
I am a friend or relative of resident
We couldn't wait to leave. Bad: Facility understaffed, overworked. Took 20-55 min before answering call bell. That is so wrong!!! Shame on you managment, you can do better than that. Managment stated we should have brought it up to them. We mentioned to nurses and still didn't matter. Rooms were dirty dingy and smelled like Pee. We found Pee in dads drawer. Humid rooms Good: Workers mostly all nice, they apologized but looked too busy and stressed, Rehab center is good, Food is decent. Lady named Pat is (holy Moly a miserable person) Only good if you don't care about your family members.
Mr.Medical February 24, 2012
I am/was a resident of this facility
I had my knee fused following a motorcycle accident. I was a resident at Bride Brook Health and Rehabilitation Center for duration of four month. During this time I received medical treatments, and physical therapy at this location. I was able to be in constant contact with my family and friends with the availability of the internet and the personal telephone. I was not impressed with the meals offered here but certainly have had worse during my days in college at the cafeteria. I was the youngest resident and received much attention from the older inhabitants of Bride Brook Health and Rehabilitation Center. The staff was relatively responsive although I did not have any dire situations that required immediate assistance. The amenities are slim and I did not use them due to the nature of my visit and also my lack of interest in movement. I would give them a four out of five rating.

I've been in contact with this guy for 9 months. We talk everyday, we go out as much as we can. His in another country at the moment (visiting home town) he will be back, but his still contacting me. He calls me baby, holds my hands, cuddles and hugs. Are we dating? His never asked me, did we just slip into this category? Did we skip the asking part and we are all of a sudden dating? Confused.

Wonus purchased her first house in Mantua -- a 1967-built Cape Cod on Prince William Drive -- in 1968. The house used to be on a cul-de-sac. Now Prince William Drive has speed humps to slow traffic. In 1992, Wonus moved to a different house in the neighborhood, one that was originally a 4,400-square-foot Colonial. She has added about 900 square feet.
Wonus notes that many Mantua residents have chosen to move to larger or smaller houses within the neighborhood rather than leave. Some families pass their homes down to their children, who return to raise their own families there.
BOUNDARIES: Prosperity Avenue to the east, Pickett Road to the west, Arlington Boulevard the north and Little River Turnpike to the south.
SCHOOLS: Mantua Elementary, Robert Frost Middle and W.T. Woodson High schools.
HOME SALES: Eighty-five houses sold in the past 12 months at prices from $425,000 to $830,000, said Mary Thyfault Clark of Weichert Realtors. Six houses under contract, at prices from $619,00 to $699,900. There is one active listing at $620,000.
WITHIN FIVE MINUTES BY CAR: Fairfax Hospital, Capital Beltway, Interstate 66, Vienna, Merrifield, Vienna Metro, Woodson High School, Northern Virginia Community College Annandale Campus, city of Fairfax.
WITHIN 15 MINUTES BY CAR: Tysons Corner, Fair Oaks Mall, George Mason University, Burke, Falls Church.
"People who buy here are not pretentious. This is not a fancy neighborhood, despite the high prices," she said.
Although the community has never had a homeowners association, the citizens association requires that additions be proposed to an architecture and environmental review committee. The committee distributes the proposals to the 15 closest neighbors for comment. Ultimately, the association lets the neighbors work things out if there is any opposition to proposals such as placing a shed or a cell tower in a front yard.
"We don't have enforcement power, but we can nudge people," Brenner said.
Mantua was in the headlines in 1990 when the adjacent Pickett Road tank farm seeped about 200,000 gallons of oil into the groundwater of about 20 houses along Tovito Road and Convento Terrace on the southwest side of Mantua. Though the tank farm was used by four different vendors at the time, an investigation pointed to Texaco's tanks as the source of the leak, recounted Steve DelBianco, a former Mantua resident who led the community effort to monitor the cleanup.
Texaco settled with individual homeowners, including pricing protection for pre-spill home values. Plus, the corporation asked the Mantua Citizens' Association for suggestions about how to invest in the community, according to DelBianco.
Texaco followed the association's recommendations, providing grants and state-of-the-art computers for Mantua Elementary, funding for the citizens association and swim club, visual enhancements for the community and a long-term environmental consultant, according to DelBianco. The consultant reviews the regular reports that tank farm users are required to file with the Environmental Protection Agency, the city and county of Fairfax and the Mantua Citizens' Association.
Fifteen years later, there is no lasting damage as a result of the spill, DelBianco said. "The cleanup was executed extremely well, to the point where there is currently no exposure by which contaminated ground water can reach homes in any way."

A Citizen's Advisory Committee for Watkinsville Woods, a newly acquired 6-acre parcel of land planned as a park, will host a meeting 5-6 p.m. July 29 at Watkinsville City Hall on VFW Drive.
The meeting is designed for adjacent property owners, Watkinsville residents and members of the public to see and comment on the preliminary plans and time lines for improvements at the new park, officials announced.
Watkinsville Woods is the name given to the acreage acquired by the city in March from Dr. Roy Ward for a new passive park and greenspace. Preliminary plans call for access points from Jackson Terrace, Harden Hill Road and Main Street. A wildflower meadow with a birdhouse row, trails, and access to large specimens of tulip poplars, black gum trees and willow oaks in the county are planned, officials said. Limited parking is planned along Jackson Terrace.
When the city purchased the land from Ward, Mayor Charles Ivie said the park will be "a quiet space," without "any baseball, soccer, or anything of that nature." The land is surrounded on all sides by residential development.
Since planning began, the committee has also discovered a rock outcrop on the site. Visitors entering from the Main Street access point will also pass by the historic "pulpit rock," the site of some of Watkinsville's earliest Methodist sermons.
A meeting of the Citizen's Advisory Committee will be held immediately following the public meeting, and citizens are welcome to attend.
The committee hopes to present its recommendations for timing, plans and budget to the Watkinsville City Council at the August council meeting. The Citizen Committee is an advisory body to the City Council, which will make all final decisions about the park. Williams & Associates is providing planning assistance for the park.

Gorgeous property with mixed hard woods, jack pines and dogwood. The towering pines give the impression of being inside a cathedral. Towards the back are numerous oak trees & beautifully blooming Dogwoods. At the very back is an obvious home site with a large ravine leading down to the Pottawatomie Marsh, providing stunning marsh views with views of the Kalamazoo River. Being such a large piece of property, it is very isolated from neighbors without any noise from the highway. Wild turkey & deer abound.

The expression one size does not fit all certainly applies to nutrition. We can be informed of this simply by reading Dr. Weston Price's seminal work, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. In this book he discusses his research of the many different indigenous cultures he visited and extensively studied. He found that they were all supremely healthy as long as they ate their own particular traditional diet. The astonishing thing is, they all had different traditional diets.
Take for instance, the Swiss living in the isolated village in the Lötschental Valley, located in the Burnese Alps of Switzerland. Dr. Price first visited in 1931 when the Lötschental Valley was nearly inaccessible, with just a footpath in and out. It was almost a mile above sea level and surrounded by steep mountains. The villagers were completely isolated and were fully dependent on what they could harvest and produce for themselves.
Their diet was mainly raw milk, cheese, butter and a fermented rye bread made in huge loaves. I don't know how I would manage there, as I don't eat grains or dairy, but these folks thrived on this nutrient dense food.
Another culture he studied was the South Pacific natives who thrived on seafood, roots and tubers. There was a culture in Africa that ate mainly plant foods and some insects. There was another culture in Africa that ate mainly raw milk and cow blood.
The Gaelic from the Outer Hebrides ate cod livers stuffed with oats that they grew.
The point is that all the cultures he studied were eating very different diets. However, they did share some similarities — they all had one or two sacred foods that were critically necessary for their fertility and the health of their children.
This can be applied to our health today
There is no one perfect diet for everyone. We all have to search for the perfect diet for ourselves and that perfect diet may change and evolve over time. However, there are certain principles of a healthy diet that apply to many of the eating approaches we have today.
What we need to look for are the commonalities in these diets that make these diets healthy. We need to share this information.
As you may know if you read this blog, I am an advocate for the principles of the Weston Price Foundation. I also advocate a grain-free Paleo diet and the SCD and GAPS diets for healing. Some people have to stay on these restricted diets for a long time — others can heal quickly and move on to incorporate a greater variety of foods.
Some people do poorly on these restricted diets. Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride acknowledges this and urges people to try to move through the stages of GAPS as quickly as possible. These folks need to find their own perfect diet.
Even Chris Kresser, in his new book The Personal Paleo Code advocates exploring real foods outside the strict Paleo guidelines because he acknowledges that we are all different in our metabolic needs.

The Dog Does THIS Every Night. Just Watch What He Wants…
Kissing is an act that is common with man and it is often done between humans. But these days dogs are beginning to partake in the act. In most homes were dogs are domesticated as pets, you can easily find a dog wagging its tail and looking longingly at its owner or a member of the house. What does it wants?
In this case the canine is not hungry but it is desperate and anxiously expecting to receive affection in a more practical manner such as hugs and kisses. However, it is hard to believe that dogs express their quite profound feelings for their masters by kissing. But let's be a little more realistic, do dogs really kiss at all and if they do, what is the motive behind it?
Perhaps some dogs are amazed by their proprietors or owners that they feel it are needful to payback or they feel there is a need to express their ongoing deference by rendering and receiving kisses. How come dogs have grown to become so affectionate that they begin to share kisses humans? Could this be love?

A dynamic view of mHLA-DR expression in management of severe septic patients

Increasing evidence suggests that the secondary phase of sepsis (that is, after the first proinflammatory hours) is characterized by the occurrence of a systemic failure of the immune system. In the most immunodepressed patients, therapies could be used to restore normal immune functions. However, biomarkers need to be developed to beforehand specifically identify these patients. Of these biomarkers, diminished monocyte HLA-DR expression has rapidly become the most popular. Herein, novel perspectives regarding monocyte HLA-DR assessed as a dynamic parameter in septic patients will be discussed in the context of a recently published study investigating daily evolution of monocyte HLA-DR with regard to 28 day-mortality after severe sepsis.

Sometimes the best thing about art is its wonderful weirdness. Enthusiasts of drawings that talk back through their texture and hue can find this delightful otherness in Chris Pyle's fine art. The work twists and turns on the page, tentacles of hair wrapping around his figures' stoic expressions and pursed mouths. It's as though rough sections of carpet came to life and went on a psychedelic adventure with a color wheel, leaving the door ajar so the viewer could follow. It's wild and disturbing and the kind of art that haunts the memory in the best way possible.
Pyle found his way to fine art about 10 years ago. He came to prominence in Indianapolis and far beyond as an illustrator, drawing locally for clients such as NUVO, Indianapolis Monthly and Puccini's Pizza. (He also does the portraits of our bloggers here on Sky Blue Window, including Malina Simone and Jennifer Delgadillo.) Outside Indy, his work has appeared in Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, The Chicago Tribune, and in print for Coca-Cola. The longtime Circle City resident is represented in part by Chicago's Carl Hammer Gallery and exhibits around the world, most recently in Paris at the Halle Saint-Pierre Museum. Pyle will soon journey to the Windy City to drop off work to be shipped to Australia's Hughes Gallery for a show in 2015.
- Chris Pyle
Pyle describes his style as "woven-knot technique," on display here in I Want To Talk About You.
A self-taught artist, Pyle's talent was first noticed by his mother, who grew up in a creative household and had interests in art, literature, music and film. She "really pushed" him in an artistic direction, which resulted in Pyle taking some painting lessons at an art shop in his native Richmond, Indiana. As he moved into his teen years, he developed an interest in music and started playing drums, which led to professional gigs when he was 16. He was a road musician for 10 years and drew whenever he had the chance.
"I was possessed by it," Pyle says. It eventually led to a friend (and the then-art director at NUVO) offering him the opportunity to illustrate covers for the newspaper.
Pyle's graphically clean work had wide appeal and caught the eye of a nationally based illustration agent, who took him on as a client. In the pre-Internet days, Pyle explains, illustrators were promoted via direct mail campaigns. Biannually, he would submit two pieces to his agent who would print them on postcards and buy mailing lists of industry pros, including magazine publishers, design firms and newspapers. The cards would eventually reach art directors around the country who would go through the postcards and select artists for jobs based on what they saw. It didn't take long for Pyle to start getting work from big-name clients such as Time, Entertainment Weekly and The New York Times. "From 1995 to 2000," he says, "I was just kicking a--. I couldn't believe the people who were calling me up."
- Chris Pyle
Mother May I exemplifies Pyle's twisting, knotted perspective, rendered in ink and pencil on the cover of a found book.
Unfortunately, around 9/11 "something happened to illustration," as the economy tanked and print publications went out of business right and left. The Internet, Pyle explains, had started to really become a force, and he was suddenly in competition with illustrators all over the world.
"I wish I illustrated more," he laments, "but work just doesn't come in like it used to. My first agent said the illustration field is like fashion; artists go in and out of style. Some people manage to hang on, but the average lifespan of an illustrator is five years."
Pyle was able to sustain his career as an illustrator -- which is by no means over -- for 20 years. He was also able to "modify and change and go in a different direction" as the field changed, which resulted in his fine art journey. His personal work was so different from his illustrations -- not to mention being a different genre of art -- that he adopted the name CJ Pyle and began exhibiting all over the world.
Notable exhibits include the aforementioned show in Paris (a nearly yearlong run in celebration of Raw Vision's 25th anniversary), and "Saints and Sinners" at Carl Hammer, which ran from May to August.
Both the Carl Hammer Gallery and the Halle Saint-Pierre Museum showcase "outsider art," a blanket term that essentially defines any kind of unconventional work. Though there is certainly room for and appreciation of more standard art forms like landscapes, Pyle's self-described woven-knot technique takes ink, colored pencil and graphite and plops them into a new creative realm.
- Chris Pyle
Intricate pieces such as Playmate are among the latest in Pyle's 20-year career.
Currently, Pyle is busy finishing pieces for his show at the Hughes Gallery. There is considerable demand for his work, the creation of which he treats like a standard job. "I work several hours a day on each piece," he shares, thankful his mind is "constantly being pushed in a creative way." He continues, "If you're involved in the arts, it keeps you young. Mundane jobs beat people up and take their toll. Art leads to a more positive outlook."
Pyle also maintains his work as a musician, playing drums with The Late Show Band, and doing his best to balance fine art, illustration and music. The wonderful thing about being a musician and artist, he says, is that you don't retire; you're driven by it.
"The fact that I'm doing what I'm doing at this stage in my life is a gift."
Visit Pyle's website for a look at his fine art work dating back to 2006.

Whenever I text this girl I like, she always texts back with 3 or 4 sentences. If I ask how she's doing, she always tells me how she is and then proceeds to tell me what she's up to and what she's had going on. Is this good?
Most Helpful Girl
Yes, very good. Some girls always like to text out their whole situation and whatnot. It's a good sign for you. If she ignored you or was mean to you, she doesn't want to talk to you. But for you, it sounds really good. An excited girl who likes her text (recepient) she texts a lot.00|00|0

text: August212009 Yelp Launches Blackberry App with Bing Maps Yelp just launched their new application for RIM Blackberry which uses Bing Maps to help users find themselves and interesting places around them. Sounds like therapy. I should get this application since if you knew me personally you would know I have issues finding myself from time to time. Anyway, the application is pretty dang slick using location aware technology to determine a user's current location, then allows them to search for nearby businesses, read reviews and access a moveable map which can easily zoom in and out of a location and redefine searches based on the respective geographic area. Yelp for Blackberry also works in the US, Canada and the UK. If you have a touchscreen or a trackball Blackberry, you'll be able to download the application or the next time you go to Yelp.com on your device. You'll be able to download the Blackberry Yelp app here if you have a device with a trackball or here if you have a Blackberry Storm. Bing! CP

Fall Retreat
Time: Late October
Objective: This may or not be attended with other churches in the state/area. The primary objective is to give them a concentrated dose of God's Word and time together as the school year really begins to get into a routine. The weekend includes worship, panel discussions, and a speaker. Generally the idea is to go much deeper into faith.
Sno-Feast (Winter Retreat)
Time: Mid-Winter (Usually February)
Location: Kimball, MN

Opportunities like these give students a chance to form critical thinking skills and respectful discussion about the things they perceive.
Friendship (Sharing)
Relationships are an important facet of the Christian faith and there need to be opportunities for students to grow socially, as well. Learning from each other and growing together are important parts of life and those skills should be developed early. This is achieved through fun planned outings and sometimes spontaneous get-togethers.
Small Group Events
Objective: Each small group is encouraged to meet together outside of church a couple times each year. It is important for the students to interact with each other outside of a typical church setting.
Bethel Youth MegaRally

Time: December 31 – January 1
Objective: Celebrate the New Year with Lock-In. We'll spend tons of time enjoying each other's company and hanging out, but we'll also make sure we spend some time talking about the renewal we find in Jesus. Don't forget to invite your friends to this one!
Special Events
Objective: These are chances for the entire youth group to enjoy each other's company and time together. These events will be promoted and communicated in a timely manner and will include a wide variety of possibilities.
Service (Serving)
