If you're looking for more ways to incorporate green tea into your lifestyle, try matcha powder. Our matcha powder is ceremonial grade, meaning it is made from shade-grown green tea leaves harvested early in the spring and then stone-ground to a fine powder. So you can expect it to be bright green in color, and have more intense sweetness and deeper flavor than standard or courser grades harvested later in the year.
Preparing matcha in the ancient Japanese tradition is veiled in detailed ritual and ceremony, but don't let that stop you from trying it at home. You'll reap more health benefits from matcha than you do from other teas because you're ingesting the whole leaf rather than discarding it after steeping.
At its core matcha is really quite simple to prepare if you have a matcha set: place 1-2 tsp of matcha powder into the matcha bowl and pour in approximately 2-3 oz of not-quite-boiling water. Wisk it rapidly until the powdered tea is completely dissolved.
Ceremonial grade matcha is meant to be savored as a standalone beverage without sugar or milk (unlike "culinary" or "restaurant grade" matcha), but we will admit it makes a pretty fantastic latte with milk and sugar.
These simple instructions will get you started, but enhancing your technique and style can make for a lifelong project (invite us over when you've perfected it!)

Beauty contests, otherwise known as architecture competitions, are becoming too painful to watch in this country. Most of them are set up to nab a foreign superstar even though Canadian talent is called up and begged to participate. Others are exhausting affairs, costing competitors hundreds of thousands of dollars to prepare, and they fail to keep a basic promise: Building the winning scheme.
The latest in a long line of farcical Canadian competitions is the abrupt cancellation of a major new Senate building to hold offices and meeting rooms on Bank Street next to Ottawa's Parliament Hill. This contest distinguishes itself for keeping the jury's decision secret for two excruciating years before delivering the bad news to the winner.
Gilles Saucier, whose award-winning Montreal firm Saucier + Perrotte architectes represented Canada last year at the Venice Biennale, got the phone call from the Department of Public Works last week. In an exchange that would surely test the health of anybody's heart, the official announced in one breath that Saucier had won the prestigious Bank Street competition; in the next, he declared that the project had been cancelled.
"I'm the one who designed that architecture and it's dead, dead, dead," said a distressed Saucier after receiving the bad news. "That object that was created is dead."
Competitions, when they deliver on their promise to build, play a critical role in advancing architecture that springs from ideas rather than the bottom line. Constructed, the winning scheme by Saucier + Perrotte would have produced the first instance of contemporary architecture within close proximity to the Gothic Revival architecture of Parliament Hill. A sublime box that floats on a podium of glass with upper stories clad in lace-like stone panels was designed to be highly attentive to the materiality and scale of its historic surroundings. Committee rooms currently lacking in the West Block building were to be accommodated in light-filled spaces set partly underground. The scheme used a principal plaza with a reflecting pool from which a ribbon-like promenade wraps around the sunken meeting rooms eventually to cut down to the escarpment toward the banks of the often-neglected Ottawa River.
In this way, the architects took up a bold, increasingly Canadian position that the landscape rather than an architectural object should dominate the one-hectare site at the intersection of Bank and Wellington streets. Set next to the triad of historic buildings on Parliament Hill, Saucier's scheme would have asserted to the world that there is a highly visible place for remarkable contemporary architecture within the machinery of government.
In Public Work's press release last week, issues of security, cost and the need to restore the West Block were provided as reasons for the project's cancellation. Flagging the West Block is curious as the $170-million Bank Street building was always intended to accommodate those senators and administration staff who would have been displaced during an extensive renovation of the Gothic Revival building. What's more likely is that the arrival on Parliament Hill of something without a château roof was too frightening for some politicians to bear.
"It's extremely disappointing -- the amount of effort that goes into staging something like that is immense," says Toronto urban designer Ken Greenberg, who organized a stellar jury, including Brigitte Shim, landscape architect Moura Quayle, the distinguished French architect Bernard Reichen, the award-winning British architect Edward Jones, MP Robert Marleau and Senator William Rompkey. "It's absolutely immense. To just have it drop off the radar scheme, without any warning, is a great disappointment. . . . It sends out a terrible message."
The blow of the Bank Street competition comes hard on the heels of three other beauty contests: the University of British Columbia's international competition for a new gateway to its campus; the Human Rights Museum competition in Winnipeg and the competition for the Edmonton Art Gallery.
The latter two were motivated by the need to bag spectacular schemes -- British architects Will Alsop and Zaha Hadid, both short-listed for the Edmonton project, bring instant credibility to massive fundraising campaigns. Fair enough. But less graphic schemes that present subtle, possibly more enduring, architecture are quickly passed over.
The UBC jury was a strange mix of rigorous modern thinkers, such as Vancouver architect Arthur Erickson, and those with a penchant for nostalgic forms, such as Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk and Moshe Safdie. A shortlist of competitors was drawn up before the jury even arrived to have a look. It was hardly surprising that the palatable, pretty design by Moore Ruble Yudell Architects and Planners of Santa Monica, Calif., with Hughes Condon Marler took the top prize, beating out Patkaus of Vancouver, one of Canada's leading design studios.
The Bank Street competition was managed from the beginning with the utmost professionalism. Remarkable, too, is the fact that the short-listed competitors were each paid $300,000 to cover their costs and engineering, environmental and landscape reports, almost double what competitors for the ground-zero redevelopment in New York were paid. But, for all of its good intentions, it fell apart when push came to shove.
Occasionally, the leap is taken. One of the most encouraging testaments of an architecture competition that works is the small-scale initiative recently launched by a group of young Vancouver architects, academics and critics who call themselves Space Agency. They wanted to awaken an interest in public space in the city and make visible the ideas of young, thinking architects.
As its first project, Space Agency launched an international, open competition for a temporary, low-cost installation for the back lanes of Gastown. About $25,000 was raised from the Gastown business improvement society and the Western economic diversification agency, the call was put out on the agency's website and a jury was called in, including Cameron Sinclair of Architecture for Humanity, University of Toronto associate professor An Te Liu, Vancouver architects Peter Cardew and Patricia Patkau, as well as myself.
Our winning choice, unanimously decided, was for an ethereal design by a couple of Japanese architects, Satoshi Matsuoka and Yuki Tamura. They proposed animating the alleys of Gastown with enormous, luminous white balloons. Determined to get the idea built, the Space agents discovered an expert in massive balloon manufacturing located not in Japan but in Surrey, outside Vancouver. The round white clouds -- the largest measures 25 feet in diameter -- will be wedged into place between the walls of Trounce Alley and Blood Alley for three days beginning Aug. 18; evening street parties and family events will take place on the street under the balloons.
The culture of architecture will only flourish when startling ideas are widely disseminated. Knowing this, the Space agents have organized an exhibition of all the participants to be held in one of the buildings backing onto the lane. The brown agency T-shirt, designed with the collective's logo, is a gift valued more than any plaque I've ever received for helping out on a jury.
Note to the Space agents: please send Saucier + Perrotte a couple of T-shirts, and invite them to gather under the balloons with you that August weekend in Vancouver. It might help rekindle their faith in the profession.
The winning scheme for the Senate administration building proposed for the corner of Bank Street and Wellington Street in Ottawa was designed by three collaborating architectural firms: Saucier + Perrotte Architectes, Stantec Architecture Ltd. (formerly Dunlop Architects Inc.), and Cohos Evamy. Incorrect information appeared on June 25 in Review.Report Typo/Error

At The Marist, every child counts and every child is unique. We work hard to ensure that every child, whatever their unique and special needs, can take a full and active part in every aspect of the life of the school and its curriculum.
We believe that educational inclusion is about equal opportunities for all learners, whatever their age, gender, ethnicity, impairment, attainment and background. We pay particular attention to the provision for and the achievement of different groups of learners:
Our aim is to remove any barriers to learning, which are prohibiting any child from achieving their potential. Pupil performance and well-being go hand in hand. Children can't learn if they don't feel safe or if health problems are allowed to create barriers. We want every child to fulfil their potential, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Access to the Environment
(see our Accessibility Plan and Single Equality Scheme for more information)
For children with particular special educational needs we provide a comprehensive programme of support to ensure that they are able to reach their full potential alongside everyone else in the classroom. We work together in partnership with parents with termly meetings to review targets and set new ones appropriate to the individual child.
Any concerns should be raised with the class teacher or Mrs Rusbridge, the School's Inclusion Leader and SENCo, either through the School Office or direct by email email@example.com
The Marist response to the Local Offer
At The Marist 3 waves of intervention are in place to help all our children and specifically those with special educational needs. Further detail of the different levels or waves of support can be downloaded here.
From September the government has made changes to the Code of Practice for children with special educational needs (SEN).
Statements of special educational needs will now be replaced with education health care plans (EHCP). The EHCP will place much more emphasis on personal goals and will describe the support your child will receive while they are in education or training. Personal budgets will be introduced to accompany this plan to give parents more control over the support you and your child receive. The amount given, and how it can be spent, is something that you would agree with Surrey County Council as part of the process of obtaining an EHCP.
If your child already has a statement they will be transferred to the new system within the next three and a half years. The transfer is likely to happen around the transition points in your child's education such as when they move key stages or from primary to secondary school. Surrey County Council will let you know when you are due to switch and there'll be Independent Supporters on hand to make the transfer as simple as possible. The legislation relating to statements will be withdrawn when everyone has completed the transition to the new system. In the meantime, if your child has a statement, the funding remains unaltered so please do not worry!
The designations of 'School Action' and 'School Action Plus' are now being replaced by a single criterion of 'Special Educational Needs Support' or SEN Support. If your child is currently on SA or SA+, again, the level of support we provide will not be affected by this new designation. However, the focus will be less about counting the hours and resources given to your child at school and more about what your child has achieved as a result.
Instead of an IEP all children with SEN will have an ISP (individual support plan) which will set targets in the same way as an IEP but will be more outcome focused and each child will have both long term and short term targets. Children will move to ISPs later this term and you will still be invited to set and review individual targets with our SENCo and your child's class teacher.
Under the changes, all children who were already on the school's SEN register will continue to receive the same level of support as they did under the old SEN Code of Practice, whether this was 1:1 support or small group interventions.
The Marist response to the Local Offer provides the answers to 14 very important questions about children with SEN Support at The Marist. Our SEN Information report provides further information. Having read the document, if you have any further queries regarding the changes to SEN or how we might work with your child at The Marist, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Rusbridge, our Inclusion Leader and SENCo, either through the School Office or direct by email email@example.com.

Families Hit the Road for a Face-Off on Season 7 of The Great Food Truck Raceby FN Dish Editor in Shows, July 29th, 2016
This summer The Great Food Truck Race returns for a new season, premiering Sunday, Aug. 28 at 9|8c.

I hate how this happens sometimes but let's say I start seeing a woman I like and we have a strong connection, sometimes mixed signals and not knowing where I stand can cause me to read into things and I hate it.
Ever had had the same happen to you?
there's this his one girl I started seeing recently who I like a lot, but she told me she just got out of a 5 year relationship. It made me wonder if I was a rebound, but there was no red flag aside from her telling me she's newly single.
We hit it off big time on our first date as well as our 2nd date, but there was a 3 week gap between our dates. We kept in contact through text, snapchat and Instagram but when I'd hit her up each weekend to meet up, she'd be busy and wouldn't reschedule and send me snapchats and like my Instagram posts. This gave me mixed signals.
Sometimes I'd over analyze if I sent a snap or text and she didn't respond which made me wonder if I said something to lose interest. Like if she sent a snap of her wearing a dress, I'd say you look great and then if she didn't respond I wondered if I over complimented her.
On top of that, before our 2nd date, I logged into okcupid and noticed she changed her pic. Didn't look at her profile I just saw from my messages section. Made me think I should keep my options open.
Having said that, I realized that I gotta keep this shit under control. As long as we're still in contact, I'll play it by ear and see how it goes.
If I do feel insecure and read into things, I try getting my mind off of it and working it out myself because all it does is cause stress and takes fun out of dating.
Most Helpful Girl
I used to. I no longer care enough to do that to be honest. Also, it's sort of stressful and it makes you worry all the time. It's terribly unhealthy.00|00|0
Yep, it sure causes a lot of stress. That's why I do other things to keep my mind occupied so I don't let it get to me.
But if I do feel that uncertain/insecure about certain things, I work it out myself and definitely don't say/do anything to the girl that would imply I'm in such state. I just hate how it naturally happens at times.
How did you overcome it?

Hi, my name's Geoff Galt, and I do animatics and voice overs.
Had a lot of fun animating the animatic on this one, for temp music I used Rick James' "Give It To Me Baby" and now a few coworkers can't hear that song the same way ever since.
On this one I merely provided the voice of the guy who says "Sure" and screams his head off. Ever since this one, I've been cast in more screamy roles.
...With the exception of this one, where I voiced the makeout man.
I had a TONNNN of fon making the animatic on this one. They preserved a lot of custom poses and art that I implied through it, and I'm super proud of how it turned out.
A lot of complicated camera movements in Sweet Flips. A lot of violence in this one! Very challenging to frame.
Annnd really happy with how The Farmer turned out. Not only did I animate the animatic, but I'm also the voice of the Farmer himself! They pretty much preserved exactly how I drew the cows, and kept in a lot of custom, slightly off-style facial expressions I left on him.
Thanks for stopping by! I'll be sure to update y'all with the next volley of shorts! I've voiced in other minis and voiced in other minor roles on the show and the shorts in between these here, but too brief to worth mentioning.
See y'all later!

Early in my career as an HR Manager, I became involved in a dispute over when a resume had been received from a staffing agency. The job candidate presented himself to us, but later the agency shared his resume and demanded payment for service. I explained that we had already met the candidate and offered him a position.
The agency contacted the VP of our division and requested a meeting. The VP took the meeting, but when the agency representative arrived, she introduced me as the person he needed to deal with to arrive at a solution. She then excused herself. That was a powerfully enabling action the VP made for me – she made it clear to the other party that she had full confidence in my ability. That same manager was instrumental in putting me in several other visible situations that resulted in a real boost to my career. I've tried to remember that lesson and use it to help others.
Sometimes managers can effectively rob their employees of power by taking back authority or sacrificing them in front of colleagues. When we practice "Enabling Others to Act," one of the five exemplary practices of The Leadership Challenge®, we put our colleagues and direct reports in a position to succeed by showing our trust in their ability. Developing trust does not happen overnight, but, it has to start somewhere. One way is to extend trust to your colleagues and direct reports and demonstrate your reliability. Then, people will slowly begin to trust you in return.
How can we as leaders of our organizations strengthen our colleagues by providing opportunities to shine and make decisions? The best leaders and coaches look for ways to use the strengths of their players and opportunities to showcase their talent. Is there something you are doing that you can turn over to your employees? Are there moments to spotlight their technology prowess or public speaking ability?
Good leaders are always on the lookout for ways to bolster their team members' confidence and profile. In return, employees drive the company's growth. And, they learn how to develop the full potential of others. It becomes a cycle of learning, enabling and teaching others that continues to benefit everyone involved.
To learn about more practical ways you can enable others, consider registering for The Leadership Challenge® Workshop offered in Raleigh and Greensboro this fall at http://j.mp/LC-CA.

Samsung does not leave any audience unattended to. They have been launching all possible kind of handsets and smartphones across the globe. Dual-SIM, Dual-core smartphones, Android smartphone, windows smartphone, full-qwerty..you name it. But so far Samsung did not have a single rugged smartphone in its arsenal. Samsung seems to have this uncanny ability to spot successful models, to copy-cat the same and to give it in a different flavour. No wonder Apple is after Samsung. Motorola Defy was a long-standing successful rugged smartphone. Samsung wants to have a foot on that market segment too – rugged smartphone segment. So, Samsung announces it's first water-proof, dust-proof and scratch-proof smartphone called Galaxy XCover ala Motorola Defy.
Pictures of Samsung Galaxy Xcover to the left and Motorola Defy to the right – very sure we are not the only one seeing very close similarities between these handsets.
Anyway, coming back to the specifications part, Galaxy Xcover offers lot of meat – Android Gingerbread OS, 3.2 MP rear-facing camera, 3.6 inch scratch-resistant touchscreen display, 7.2mbps HSDPA 3G and IP67 certification for the ruggedness. Apart from this, there is no further information about what kind of processor is being used, what kind of RAM is available, what kind of display screen is employed and host of other things. So, we will have to wait to get further official information from Samsung. Motorola Defy was launched in October 2010 and runs on Android 2.1, sports 5MP camera, 3.7 inch scratch-resistant display, 7.2 mbps 3G, IP67 certified and is being sold for Rs. 13,999 in India. Except for the operating system, there is literally no further difference as of now. Ofcourse, keeping in mind the requirements for gingerbread the processor and RAM should be superior to that of Defy. While we await the information of specs and price, do you think Samsung is trying to imitate too many things and not coming up with original stuff unlike Motorola, HTC or Apple?
What is IP67 Certified? IP stands for 'Ingress Protection'. IP number is used for specifying the environmental protection for enclosures around electronic equipments. The IP number is generally comprised of 2 numbers. The first number denotes the protection against solid objects such as dirt, dust, etc., and the second number denotes the protection level against liquid objects such as water. 6 denotes the object is totally protected against dust. Highest possible number. 7 denotes that the object is protected against the effect of immersion between 15cm and upto 1 meters in depth. The highest number is 8 which protects the object for long periods of immersion under pressure. – Source

Have you seen these men?
Who's watching the new condos in town?
A Hoboken411 reader (who requested anonymity) wants to help spread the word about some break-ins that have happened recently. He's assured me that these are the actual perpetrators, that multiple police reports have been filed, and the HPD is also on the lookout for these two men.
"There has been a rash of break ins recently in Hoboken, and here are pictures of the two of Hoboken's most wanted perpetrators, along with their pit bull. These gentlemen were captured on security surveillance footage casually walking into the front door of a residential building right here in Hoboken, without anyone realizing they should not be there. The then walked right into the garage area and clipped several bicycles that were locked up. The police are aware of these two men and their dog, and have reports from multiple area residents of break ins and thefts. If you see these men, please immediately call the Hoboken police at 201-420-2100. All calls are anonymous. And as always if you see anything suspicious, speak up and alert someone immediately. While the police does a great job of keeping our city safe, we must also count on each other to ensure that Hoboken remains a wonderful place to live."

Fashion helped me boost my confidence: Jessica Chastain
London: `Zero Dark Thirty` star Jessica Chastain has revealed that the fashion world helped her boost her confidence and transformed her into a more daring person.
The 36-year-old actress, who was criticized for her unique fashion sense previously, said she opted for a tomboy look in a bid to stand out when she realised that she was not going to fit in, reported Contactmusic.
"I grew up in Sacramento in northern California. People teased me about the colour of my hair and my freckles.
"At the time I started to read Vogue, I cut my hair short, I started wearing cowboy boots and experimenting with different tomboy looks," she said.
The actress is now the face of Yves Saint Laurent`s ad campaign for their Manifesto fragrance.
"I have always been a fan of the Saint Laurent house, for its audacity and the emphasis it places on individuality... My love story with YSL perfumes goes back to my high school years.
"My aunt used to wear Opium and she gave me a bottle with a little bit left in it. I felt very glamorous and grown up when I put a few drops on."

I know... Still, it doesn't mean it's easy to actually RP such stuff.Alright, another topic:In some WH40K RP games (like Deathwatch or Black Crusade) there are limited options for character types. In BC, half of the basic archetypes are Chaos Space Marines. In Deathwatch, *all* of the characters are Space Marines. Isn't it a problem? I mean, how much diversity can there be among Space Marines? They are all big, strong guys with guns...
And even the Guard get things like marching battalions of conscripts through mine fields to clear them, because it's cheaper and faster than actually sweeping the mines safely.All Jedi or No Jedi is pretty much how BC ends up being played, I think. It's theoretically supposed to be balanced in that the Chaos Marine archetypes are pretty much only useful in combat, with the Heretics getting access to all of the non-combat utility. But being as how it's a game about Chaos worshippers, combat and violence end up solving most problems anyways.
To be fair that's the way their war is. A soldier's life is cheap but its worth it if there is success in the end. Its basically the Red Army vs the Iron Legion, all those casualties are worth it if they can stop or at least slow down the enemy war machine.
Indeed, which ties back to the original topic. It's awful, terrible, and amoral, but above all it's necessarily. The sheer danger level that the enemies of Humanity present means that anything less than total commitment and total ruthlessness will end in defeat. Xenos, mutant, heretic - they're all The Enemy, and it's a kill-or-be-killed world out there. Them or Us.
I know exactly where you're coming from Beorning, I had this problem the first few times I tried to do anything related to RP and the Ordo Xenos... Then I read my great-grandfather's diary from the second Sino-Japanese War... And then I realized that this world, just 70 years ago, was just as, if not worse than some of what goes on in 40k. I started tallying up pros and cons for the Ordo Xenos, dug through lore, and came to the conclusion that if I was surrounded by: Living warrior fungi, hyper advanced space communists, immortal metal Egyptians, a constantly evolving locust swarm hell bend on eradicating my species, almost immortal arrogant near humans with technology I couldn't even imagine and psychic powers beyond my wildest dreams, living space sludge with a love for improving tech. And knowing that they all want me dead, and to think that you've known for thousands of years, I think I'd be pretty xenophobic myself, because I think it's quite a rational response to what's going on with the imperium Just for good measure, a list of the species I talked about:OrksTauNecronsTyranidEldarHrud
living space sludge with a love for improving tech. Hrud
Have the Hrud gotten more official material describing them? As far as Lexicanum goes, the last time they got any canon attention was in Xenology, where they were described as "a misshapen morass of decomposing filth" with all their limbs having "a bone structure similar to the human spine allowing the limbs to bend in any direction" - fairly summed up as 'living space sludge', but nothing about them liking to improve tech in any way. That sounds more like a Jokaero trait - Hrud have their weird warp-plasma weapons and obscure tech related to dimension-shifting and temporal distortions, but nothing about improving on existing tech or other people's tech.
That might be fanon though, so it's hard to judge. Lexicanum at least only quotes directly from canon material - I love 1d4Chan, but it's still a 'Chan wiki, and wouldn't top my list of fully reliable material.
I have another kind of question: Black Crusade. What would you do with this game?I have a problem with this game, as it has this explicit goal of the PCs having to work toward earning the Chaos Gods' favour and winning Daemonhood. Which makes it seem like the game would be mainly about the PCs doing various awful things that might be appealing to the Gods: spreading plagues, killing Space Marines and Imperial soldiers etc. It seems a bit... limited. Is there something more interesting that could be done with this game?
But maybe I'm misreading things... Could the PCs have other goals? Could, say, a renegade warrior try to free his sector from the Imperium and honestly better the people's lives? Without trying to please the Chaos Gods?BTW. Are the four Tome supplements worth of purchasing?
You probably could do that, but Black Crusade might not be the best game to run it under. If you're playing Black Crusade, then you are a heretic, at least from the Imperiums perspective. Most, but not all, will have some link to the Chaos Gods. And, as the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.The Imperium is massive and monolithic. Someone wanting to free his world, his sector, they can't do it alone. They need a backer. So they turn to Chaos. They make bargains, with the best of intentions. Each action takes them that step further. Each decision, rationally made, draws them in that bit deeper.
I think the 4 Tomes are good, but you'd want to be sure you want to play the game, and enjoy it, before getting them, otherwise they're not going to do you any good.
Ironically appropriate, really. All system games are doomed to fail quickly here, 40K games in particular have a habit of dying even before they get IC.

10 civilians including 3 children killed in Mali unrest: HRW
Ten civilians including three children have been killed in fighting in the central Mali city of Konna between the Malian army backed by French forces and Islamist rebels, Human Rights Watch said Saturday, citing area residents.
"Konna residents told Human Rights Watch some 10 civilians were killed in the fighting including three children who drowned trying to cross the river to safety," said the rights group's Corinne Dufka in a message sent to AFP in Dakar.
She also raised concerns about children who she said have been recruited by the Islamists as soldiers.
"Other children recruited by the Islamists in Gao have been wounded and possibly died in the fighting," she said, referring to a city in north Mali under the control of the radical Islamists, some of whom are linked to Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
Dufka, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch, said that in the past few months children from Mali and also neighbouring Niger have been taken by the Islamists, and "must be immediately released."
"Furthermore, the Islamists' threats to retaliate against French non-combatants, including hostages, are totally reprehensible and would constitute war crimes. All parties involved in this conflict -- Islamist groups, Malian and French army, and (regional) troops -- should do all they can to protect civilians and strictly adhere to the law of war," she said.
Mali's army took back the key town of Konna from Islamist rebels on Saturday aided by French air power, with Burkina Faso, Niger and Senegal each pledging 500 troops to an African force tasked with regaining the north of the country now controlled by the Islamists.
The battle left dozens of dead rebels strewn across the area, according to witnesses and the Malian military. The French military suffered one casualty, a pilot killed carrying out air raids, said French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.

Lot's of people are confused about what's going to with the Sunny crew, and I'd like to open discussion for such things as,
- Where are they? Was that Zou or somewhere else?
- Who are they trying to save?
- Who's that little girl?
- Why are the pirates looking for a samurai? Are they looking fir Kin'emon? Kanjuro? The mysterious third samurai that they lost on the way to Dressrosa? Or a whole new one?
I'm thinking its probably one of Choppers pet projects like those kids on Punk Hazard. Whoever this is that they're saving, its a group of people and Chopper wants to save them. Also, if they barely escaped Big Mom's ship wouldn't Big Mom be after them? So we'll see that soon I guess.
This island is really strange but i'm pretty sure it's Zou due to the fact that Sheepshead was confused as to how they reached it. The sunny crew has a vivre card, so that would make since.
I thought the little girl was the 3 eyed girl at first, but then she.. wasn't...The samurai they're afraid of is, I hope, the 3rd samurai the lost. But why are they afraid of/looking for him?
All these questions will probably be answered but what are YOUR thoughts??

You might think you had a front-row seat to the shocking scandals of Benghazi, the IRS targeting of conservatives, Fast & Furious, illegal email servers, mishandling America's secrets, and cover-ups at the EPA. The rest of the story, told here for the first time, is even more troubling.
In Watchdog, Congressman Darrell Issa reveals some of the worst of Washington, pulls back the curtain on business as usual in the Capitol, and lets in the sunshine of accountability.
As chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Issa led a years-long fight to uncover what was really happening in the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton's State Department while taking on a mainstream media and establishment Beltway culture he quickly found out weren't always interested in the truth.
But what the public doesn't know about Big Government and what the people may not realize is happening to their country requires someone in Washington willing to tell the truth no matter who gets the blame.
Carrying out aggressive oversight brought Issa into conflict with not only political foes but friends and allies as well. Through it all he has sought to remind everyone in government they are still subject to the rule of law and accountable to the American people. Watchdog is the inside account of what it took to get the truth and what it will take for our democracy to endure.

Great book..!!
- Shut Up & Fight
"Please step away from the car"
A must read for those who want to know the inter-workings of government.
If you had a car in the 80s, you might have had one of Issa's Viper Alarms. It was his voice that was heard when someone was too close to the car.
Nothing. Issa should have read it.
No. It's complicated. Makes you think about civics lessons you may have had in high school.
Want to know why nothing gets done in Washington? Read "Watchdog"!

Moving from Honeyville to nearby Goshen in 1989, Pottinger became known in the city through his many renovations of historic downtown buildings. Prior to that, he was known nationally as a collector of antique quilts from the Amish communities in northern Indiana and central Illinois.
Three books were published about his collections, and hundreds of his quilts were acquired by major U.S. museums, including the American Folk Art Museum in New York City, the Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis, the Illinois State Museum in Springfield and the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, according to information from Goshen College. In 1983 an exhibit of Pottinger's Indiana quilts toured museums in the United States and Europe. The exhibit was especially popular in Zurich, Switzerland, the historic homeland of the Amish.
According to Pottinger, he had always hoped to be able to display a portion of his collection locally. That desire was fulfilled this past December when donors presented 242 objects from his collection to the Mennonite Historical Library at Goshen College, which maintains a large collection of Mennonite and Amish items developed by the Mennonite-Amish Museum Committee.
"The major museums all had a collection, but there was nothing local, and I always felt bad about that," Pottinger said of the origins of his recent partnership with Goshen College. "So I finally talked to the college, because we'd been setting up shows for them for a number of years of different things, and so we worked it out. They found a donor, and it's a small collection... but it's all local material, some furniture, quilts and so on. So I felt really good about that, that finally Goshen — or this area — has part of that collection."
Pottinger said he has probably collected more than 1,500 Amish quilts from across Elkhart and LaGrange counties over the years, though a good number of those have since been sold or donated to museums and institutions. The remaining 242 items now housed at Goshen College represent the last of his once vast collection, he explained.
In addition to full-sized quilts and comforters, the Goshen collection includes doll quilts, decorated knitted women's stockings, sewing caddies, children's and adults' clothing, strawberry pincushions and rugs. The collection excels in paint-decorated furniture, including a chest of drawers dated 1871, a blanket chest by Sam Miller (1903), an unusual one-drawer stand (1880) and hickory rockers.
Pottinger began buying Amish quilts in earnest in 1977, when he moved from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, to the Goshen area, and he continued to do so until about 1996, when it became more difficult to find them, according to information from the college.
"I was in the antique business and had been more or less most of my life, and quilts were always a part of it. But Amish quilts have an added feature, and that is that they're more artful. They're not just bed quilts," Pottinger said of what first drew him to collecting antique Amish memorabilia. "Now of course that's not true for all of them. A lot of them go with traditional designs, but a lot of them are very abstract and interesting, so I was attracted to it from that standpoint."
Pottinger's collecting years centered primarily around his Honeyville Store, which he renovated and re-opened to serve the rural LaGrange County Amish community.
According to Pottinger, a majority of the items now housed at the college came from a one-mile radius around Honeyville, with most dating from 1900 to 1940, although one sewing caddy is dated 1853. The collection also includes a number of local antique Mennonite items as well, he explained.
"For me, as important as the objects were was getting the information about each object. Every object I have has a history with it of who made it, when, why, and so on," Pottinger said of his personal take on antiques collecting. "The objects that the college got, almost all of them were in our home. They were things that were more personal, and were collected right around the store where I lived, from people that I knew well. So we had them in our home and were using them, and we just decided that it was time to give them a new home. We have other material that we wanted to use, and we thought that it was probably a good time to do it, and it ended up working out for the college as well."
Speaking to why he chose Goshen College as the new home for his remaining collection, Pottinger said he and his wife, Faye Peterson, have a long history with the college and felt it would be a perfect fit.
"My wife, Faye, has set up many, many shows for them in the gallery, and we have good personal relations with them, and it was something that we'd always kind of talked about," Pottinger said of the decision. "So I don't know, it just seemed to work out timing-wise. Life is timing, right?"
An exhibit drawn from the collection will appear in 2018 in the Hershberger Gallery in the Music Center at Goshen College. In conjunction with the exhibit, Pottinger will present an Afternoon Sabbatical program in 2018 at Goshen College about his collecting experiences.
The Mennonite-Amish Museum Committee sponsors two exhibits a year devoted to the history and arts of Anabaptist groups. Its next exhibit, "A Cabinet of Curiosities," will open on March 26 in the Good Library Gallery.

In his Life of Pi, Yann Martel has a lot to say about how to survive when ship-wrecked on the open seas. He was transporting a part of his zoo at Pondicherry to Canada when their ship ran into inclement weather and sank. Just in time, the crew were able to lower life-boats. Martel was able to get into one. His companions were a zebra with a broken leg, an orang-utan, a hyena and a Royal Bengal Tiger. The hyena killed the zebra and the orangutan, and ate them up. The tiger killed the hyena and filled its belly with what remained of the zebra, the orang-utan and hyena.
Only the tiger and the author were left alive occupying opposite ends of the boat. The author had to keep the tigers hunger and thirst satiated and prevent the beast from devouring him as well. he did all he could catching fish and turtles and collecting rain water to keep the predator at bay. He has some pertinent observations on the phenomenon called fear. He writes:
I must say a word about fear. It is lifes only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unerring ease. It begins in your mind, always, one moment you are feeling calm, self-possessed, happy. Then fear, disguised in the garb of mild-mannered doubt, slips into your mind like a spy. Doubt meets disbelief and disbelief tries to push it out. But disbelief is a poorly armed foot soldier. Doubt does away with it with little trouble. You become anxious. Reason comes to do battle for you. You are reassured. Reason is fully equipped with the latest weapons technology. But, to your amazement, despite superior tactics and a number of undeniable victories, reason is laid low. You feel yourself weakening, wavering your anxiety becomes dread.
Fear next turns fully to your body, which is already aware that something terribly wrong is going on. Already your lungs have flown away like a bird and your guts have slithered away like a snake. Now your tongue drops dead like an opossum, while your jaw begins to gallop on the spot. Your ears go deaf. Your muscles begin to shiver as if they had malaria and your knees to shake as though they were dancing. Your heart strains too hard, while your sphincter relaxes too much. And so with the rest of your body. Every party of you, in the manner most suited to it, falls apart. Only your eyes work well. they always pay proper attention to fear.
Quickly you make rash decisions. You dismiss your last allies: hope and trust. There, youve defeated yourself. Fear, which is but an impression, has triumphed over you.
The matter is difficult to put into words. For fear, real fear, such as shakes you to your foundation, such as you feel when you are brought face to face with your mortal end, nestles in your memory like a gangrene: it seeks to rot everything, even the words with which to speak of it. So you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to shine the light of words upon it. Because if you dont, if your fear becomes a wordless darkness that you avoid, perhaps even manage to forget, you open yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent who defeated you.
Fear is the basic instinct which stays with us all our lives. We know it by many names: bhae (Hindi), bhoy (bengali) darr (Hindustani), dahashat (Urdu) and their synonyms in other languages. It is the basis on which religions build their edifices and exhort us to pray to an unknown power. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, says the Bible. I expect the word wisdom means awareness; we are beset with fears of some kind of the other from birth to death. Fear can be of different degrees: apprehension, nervousness, scare, dread, terror. A child both loves his parents and fears their displeasure. In school and college we fear bullies, displeasing our teachers, doing badly in exams. At work we fear our bosses, our businesses collapsing, symptoms of ailments that our bodies are prone to. Most of all we fear death. Anyone who says he is not afraid of dying is a liar. We hear of men who go to battle fearlessly. It is not true. They are either crazed with hatred of the enemy and temporarily overcome fear or take drugs to numb their senses. I am told Sardar Bhagat Singh went to the gallows without any fear and without compromising with his disbelief in the existence of god. He must have been an exception to the general rule that fear is all-pervading.
A town called Eighty-four Evenings
Thats how some people translate the word, Sham Chaurasi. I did not know whether it was the name of an institution, place, or a sect. I vaguely connected it with Indian classical music. It is in fact the name of a qasba (township) in Hoshiarpur which amongst other things, gave birth to a family of singers thereafter known as Sham Chaurasi gharana, rival to the Patiala gharana. Its most famous singers of recent times were the dhrupad singers, Salamat Ali and his brother Nazakat Ali.
There are different versions of the origin of the name. One is that the village was once inhabited by Brahmins and named after Sham Pandit or after Krishna, also known as Shyama. Another is that it derives from a sufi peer, Shamoo Shah, who is buried there. His urs is celebrated every year with singing of Qawallis and folk songs. Chaurasi (84) apparently refers to the cluster of eighty-four surrounding villages which formed a land revenue collection zone set up by Sardar Baghel Singh misldar and confirmed by Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
The dhrupad tradition was started by two brothers, Suraj Khan, who excelled in day ragas, and Chand Khan, who excelled in night ragas. They were contemporaries of Mian Tansen, emperor Akbars court singer. Nazakat and Salamat are their descendants.
On partition of Punjab in 1947, most Muslims of Sham Chaurasi fled to Pakistan and were replaced by Hindus and Sikhs. The musical tradition died out for a while. It was revived by the locals in 1953. They invited Nazakat Ali to perform in his birthplace. A huge congregation numbering several lakhs gave him a warm welcome. The event was highlighted by Jalandhar All India Radio under its station director, Jodh Singh, who was committed to reviving Punjabi folk songs. The moving spirit behind Sham Chaurasi melas is Gurmeet Khanpuri, correspondent of the leading Punjabi daily, Ajit.
It is heartening to see that despite the animosity between India and Pakistan, people of both countries cherish links that once bound them. However, my main interest was in Sham Chaurasis resonant name. We have so many towns and villages and localities with names that sound very pleasant to the ears: Jhumri Tilaiya, Mani Majra, Varanasi, Gobindgarh, Chattisgarh, Shyam Nagar, Mahboob ki Mehndi, and others. When we rename places, we should keep the poetic and musical aspect in our minds.

We imported from Photopost a whole lot of photos.
Is a default album created for every user, even if empty?
Our typical setup was the users had their own gallery and you went to their gallery and saw their photos.
Here, if I go to Member Galleries, by default I see every photo, presumably by date as the default, but no way to order them by user.
Is there a way to force the Albums under the user galleries, in essence making a child of the Member Gallery?
Is there a user FAQ on how to use the gallery? Not the installers/Admins FAQ.
Also, I figured out how to add more per page, and more columns, but what exactly does the media thumbnail dimensions do? Is that just setting what size the thumbnail starts out at and gets upscaled to the media box size?
Thanks for the help

A Brief History of the

The jail was constructed by Love and Lovin, built with
concrete and cement bricks made on location. It cost $3,829.00. The iron jail

Building Company of
Originally, Sheriff J. B. White and his family occupied the
west end of the building, with two bedrooms above and a parlor and bedroom
below. The kitchen and dining room were located in the space now utilized as an
art exhibition area on the first floor. The cells built by the Pauly Company
are still intact upstairs, and two other cells, sometimes used to confine

The building originally had no electricity, light being provided by kerosene lamps. There is still a question as to whether plumbing was installed at the time of construction, but it is known that Henry Harshaw and Hill Alston were paid $12.50 for 8 ½ ddays labor on a well adjacent to the jail building in February, 1913.
The familiar brick building remained in sue as a jail until 1972 when the Sheriff's Department moved into its new building constructed on the site of the former First Presbyterian Church. In early 1974, the Clay County Board of Commissioners designated that the old jail be turned over to the Clay County Historical and Arts Council for use as a museum.

Arrival story:Buddy was in a home that was too busy for his liking. So he is now looking for a quieter, less busy environment.
Approximate age / weight:1 year/85 lbs.
Personality: Buddy is a giant love bug! But he will require a low-key home with a fun canine pal to make him feel comfortable. He is a homebody who is not looking for new adventures, but desires solid stability with a predictable routine.
Buddy is house-trained and crate-trained, but that's not necessary. He doesn't chew and is not destructive. He likes a cushy dog bed and will stay off furniture. He loves toys! He shares nicely with his canine foster siblings and is not food, treat, toy or space aggressive or possessive.
Forever home Buddy just wants a stable home where he can hang out with a dog friend and have carefree days. A fully fenced yard is a must. No electric fences, please. Going on walks and trips to unfamiliar places can make Buddy uneasy, but we're working on this. He's real easy to love and gives it back tenfold.
Buddy is in love with his new foster sister, Pearl. She will also be up for adoption soon and he would love for them to stay together forever.

Thank you for supporting dog rescue and your interest in a rescue dog!
It is our job at Waggin' Tails not only to find new homes for our animals but to ensure these animals never have an opportunity to breed again. All of Waggin' Tails dogs will be spayed/neutered at the time of adoption unless the dog is not of age and/or the dog has a medical condition that would prohibit sterilization at the time of adoption. Dogs under 6 months of age and dogs that cannot be sterlilized due to a medical condition will be adopted out on a spay/neuter contract which means the adopter must agree to have the dog sterilized by a specified date.
Adoption Fees
Adult Dogs: $225
Small Breed Dogs: $275
Senior Dogs: $125
Puppies (under 6 months): $250 + $50 refundable Spay/Neuter Deposit
What does the adoption fee Include?
The adoption fees above cover all age-appropriate vaccines; heartworm/fecal test; spay/neuter (unless otherwise stated); and microchipping. When necessary, the dogs have blood panels, dentals, and professional grooming as well. In other words, we do everything necessary for the dog when they come into our care.
Thank You!

Definition Edit
A letter of intent (LOI) is a document outlining the terms of an agreement between two or more parties before the formal agreement is finalized.
Overview Edit
The concept is similar to the so-called heads of agreement. LOIs resemble written contracts, but are usually not binding on the parties in their entirety. Many LOIs, however, contain provisions that are binding, such as non-disclosure agreements, a covenant to negotiate in good faith, or a "stand-still" or "no-shop" provision promising exclusive rights to negotiate. A LOI may also be interpreted as binding the parties if it too closely resembles a formal contract.
The purposes of an LOI may be:
- to clarify the key points of a complex transaction for the convenience of the parties
- to declare officially that the parties are currently negotiating, as in a merger or joint venture proposal, or
- to provide safeguards in case a deal collapses during negotiations.
A LOI may also be referred to as a memorandum of understanding (MOU), term sheet or discussion sheet. The different terms reflect different styles, but do not indicate any difference under law. A contract, in contrast, is a legal document governed by contract law.
There is however a specific difference between an LOI and MOU, whereby an LOI is the intent from one party to another and does not in this case have to be signed by both parties, whereas an MOU is an agreement between two or more parties, which should be signed by all parties to be valid.
