MONTGOMERY - April 13 fell on a Friday, but it was anything but unlucky for Mary Tucker.
That's the day her daughter called from Atlanta to tell her she had won the Pulitzer Prize. Cynthia Tucker's commentaries in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution have delighted and disturbed readers for years and she never has shied away from controversial topics.
The third time proved to be the charm for the paper's editorial page editor who tipped off her mother that she had won one of the most coveted awards in journalism.
It was particularly exciting for Mary Tucker because she didn't even know her daughter was in the running. Three journalists are chosen in each category before a final selection is made.
"She didn't tell me she was a finalist," said Mary Tucker, who began reading to her four children when they were toddlers. "She asked me not to tell anybody that she had won."
The next day, mother met daughter in Montgomery and was driven to Atlanta to wait for the official notification two days later.
"Cynthia was asked not to go to work Monday morning because her expression might give away the fact that she had won," Tucker said Friday during an interview at her house. "She went in anyway because you can't keep her from work."
Joining them was Mary Tucker's son, John, a Boston doctor who was as excited as his mother and sister that afternoon when the official word was received in the newsroom.
Toasts were made, champagne flowed and smiles were everywhere as the Tucker family became the center of attention along with another editor, Hank Klibanoff, who won a Pulitzer Prize for co-writing The Race Beat about media coverage of the civil rights movement.
A good education was never in doubt for Cynthia, Karen, Sheryl and John Tucker. Their parents were teachers and homework was a given. Mary Tucker's late husband also was a school principal.
The two made sure their children knew and appreciated the value of a college degree.
After graduating as valedictorian of her high school in neighboring Conecuh County where she grew up, Mary Tucker received a scholarship to Central College in Pella, Iowa.
The school, supported by the Reformed Church In America, was almost all white. Mary Tucker was one of five black students when she enrolled as an English major.
After college, it was back home to Alabama where she met her future husband and juggled household and classroom duties while raising a growing family.
One of her happiest moments was sitting down to read to her son and three daughters. Dr. Seuss was one of her favorites - and theirs.
She made it a fun experience for them.
"All our children could read by the time they began school," she said. "Cynthia could read the `stop' sign when she was three."
Reading is the key to a good education and the couple did all they could to make sure their children had a solid foundation. All together, the six Tuckers earned numerous degrees during their college years.

Please use the form above to request admissions info for Belmont Abbey College.
Healthcare jobs such as Registered Nurses, LPN's, LVN's and related Vocational Technicians provide over 15 million jobs in the United States alone. Most healthcare workers have jobs that require less than 4 years of college education, such as health technologists and technicians, electronic medical records specialists, medical insurance billing, health information technicians, diagnostic medical sonographers, and medical insurance billing. Founded in 1898, the American Hospital Association provides education for health care leaders and is a source of information on health care issues and trends.
The outlook for technical medical careers is especially bright. Opportunities for employment for medical laboratory technicians are expected to increase by 10% to 20% in the next eight years. The increasing number of elderly people is seen as a factor in this growth. As people age they have more medical problems, and hospitals will require more laboratory technicians to perform lab work for them. Aside from a good salary, most medical personnel receive comprehensive medical and dental benefits, as well as retirement plans. Beyond major requirements within the medical assisting department, you may consider Cecil College dental hygienist program as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

1. Creative writing is therapeutic. Of all the things I can say, this is what I want to talk about. Creative writing is a way to bring out all the random things that crazy kitchen inside your head is cooking. Forget what you ordered, anything that comes out in writing is what I'll call the Chef's Special for the day. Day? I meant, hour, minute, or just that second of WOAH I WANT TO WRITE. And in that way, it solidifies all the nonsense in your head. It brings some sort of order, or phrasing, to what seems like endless babble. You can size up inner demons, figure out what you really want to talk about, or even just play and enjoy yourself.
2. While I am not a fan of reading free writing, I totally support writing it. This is where my history in creative writing lies, and probably how I decided to bring up creative writing as therapy. Free writing can be therapeutic, get it? Also, I have spent some time writing short fiction, or flash fiction, or sudden fiction– whatever the new, hip term is. Little one page blips, a paraphrase of something longer that I just like the idea of.
Similar to sudden, short, flash fiction– parables are interesting. One of my favorite authors is Italo Calvino. I dare not claim that Calvino writes a billion parables, or even one, but he sprang to mind because I like to think that my shorter pieces reflect, in spirit, his work. I've only begun reading Calvino in the last year or so but I feel like his style and content is like what I aim for. Social commentary, aloof plotlines, and a rediculous reading experience. However, because this author is still new to the palatte, I ought to talk about other influences.
Advanced Writing, a high school course, pruned much of my stylistic choices. Ray Bradbury was a favorite back then, so I felt the need to write many self-referential fantasy bits. I've pined away in classes at North Central College studying literature, so this has probably expanded my tastes and interests in reading literature.
3. Writers are made in a factory which Barnes & Nobles currently owns. Borders would like to own it, but can't seem to override the giant conspiracy Barnes & Nobles spread when they initially went into business. Amazon is a subleaser there, where writers are made. The writers are all robots, and carry unique programs to write for genres both new and old. The people who write these programs are marketers who constantly survey the general public. That's what my uncle heard anyways. He's a butcher.
(Taking the question seriously) I think writers are made, not born. Cultural forces, life experience yadda yadda yadda. It's a lot like taking a stone and carving a statue. Only the statue is alive and feels the changes. The writer is that statue, and at the more sophisticated levels, will start to change shape and perhaps become more amorphous, like water, able to take the shape of its container. But are you born writing? No. Are you born telling stories? Not really. I think living as a social being makes this sort of thing happen.
4. Ray Bradbury is often nice. He will parade escapades and taunt misbehaves. Misbehavior. Maybe he rewards it, depending on the nature of the offense.
When Ray sits down to write, it is usually in the morning when he first wakes up with dreams spinning threads in his head. Those threads contort his fingers and produce stories no one can understand. He then goes off and eats breakfast, reads the news, and comes back to whatever-the-hell he wrote and attempts to make sense of it. He scratches his head, has lunch with his wife or a friend, and if he has an AHA moment he returns to his writing and cranks out the same novel he's been writing for the last 2 decades.
I imagine Kurt Vonnegut was ornery. He probably watched the news, made friends, saw friends, lost his friends because he was too ornery, and would occasionally get worked up enough about something to go write about it. I bet he made himself laugh often. I think of this because of his friend and creation Kilgore Trout– who writes the most ridiculous off-hand science fiction on Earth. Late nights were a constant in his life, as well as some occasional recreation. Gardening. Looking at bugs. Things like that. I don't imagine him having a routine. I imagine any structure in his life coming from other people; family, making dinner for family. The like. Maybe an occasional friend or publishing firm calling him to say, "Let's go out" or "Could you write something for us?"
All speculation.
5. The purpose of the writer in contemporary society is to write stories which are fitting to his or her life/job that still have relevance to the forces at play within the author's audience. I think this is impossible to mess up. But where things get murky is in the attention to detail that an author sometimes lacks. An easy example would be the common missuse of affect and effect, or of their and they're. Changing possesion to action could change meaning. More grandiose examples don't come to mind, which I feel deflates my claim. I resign.
Goodnight, see you all in class.

The Arrow
A cute American student (Harper) gets more than ballet
slippers and a tap on the ass when she attends a reputed European ballet
school to perfect her skills. To her dismay, folks around her start
dropping like flies on grey velvet and she eventually uncovers a spooky
coven of witches. Let the ride begin!!! {sings
Suspiria Goblins song} La- La- La- La- La- La- La-….La- La- La- La- la-
la- La…..
"Suzy, do you know anything about witches?"--
Aaaaahhh "Suspiria"...easily one of my
favorite fixes of all time. Written by Dario Argento and long-time lover Daria
Nicolodi (mother of Asia Argento),
"Suspiria" is a grim fairy tale that also acts as a
beautiful psychedelic painting in motion, coated with an assortment of
sounds, wild shots, vibrant colors, chilling shadows and gorgeous blotches
of red. This MDMA piece of celluloid was a relative turn for genre maestro
Dario Argento in terms of the type of pictures he put out. Where at first
he mostly dipped his hand in the suspense/giallo puddle of blood, here he
upped the ante by also addressing the supernatural world, one that takes
place in a vastly feminine environment, no less. Our
big boy came out a BIG winner with this one, giving birth to his most
famous oeuvre to date.
There's no doubt that Suspiria's
narrative is not the main reason to hit it; its beyond ambitious visual
execution is. The sets, and even the props, are exquisite in their oddness
giving the film a LSD art deco kind of feel that always leaves me
spellbound. Then there are the inventive, hallucinogenic plays with colors
and lighting (yellow, blue, red and green) which gave the piece an
infectiously surreal look (LOVED the
opening cab scene…DAMN!). Tag all that to Argento's slick display of
ambitious shots, creative scene transitions, fluid camera movements and
his injections of dream-like yet morbid mood and you get one hell of an
arresting movie. And that's not all compadres! "Suspiria"
also slit my throat with its crawl under your skin and at times nerve-wracking soundtrack. The powerful music (by Goblin) is a lead character on
its own, often acting as the witches' presence. Coupled with the
polished images at hand, both audio and visual join forces to put out an
experience to be reckoned with.
Another aspect that whooped my bootie
to horror heaven were the vicious and gory kills (see the uncut
version…trust me). Argento stages his murders with sadistic creativeness
and unrepentant harshness and I relished them with child-like glee. The
man has no pity for his victims (I respect that), that's for sure,
especially when they're female (a man's got to relax). The opening
scene in particular is quite elaborate and beyond brutal; now THAT'S a
way to go! I took notes! But the one kill that always gets me hardcore is
the barbed wire scene. It always has me grabbing my balls in pain. Yes, I
felt that girl's pain in my "stoogates!" Don't ask; I'm special
that way. I also appreciated
the artistic flavor that Argento injected into his human slaughter via a use
of bright red blood that looked more like finger paint than plasma. It
worked for me and matched with the Andy Warhol on-more-acid-than-usual feel of the film.
Over the years, I've been hearing critics and Argento fans
complain about "Suspiria" not having a script, and being all style and no substance. Granted,
the script is at times flawed; I
did have to suspend disbelief on one occasion (the footstep counting thang)
and some of the dialogue was either cheesy or obvious in its exposition.
But having said that, I still find that statement to be too severe. Yes,
the style is in the forefront, but there is a story here with plot turns,
some mystery (Argento uses one of his token tricks in this respect), a
strong female lead and scary villains (loved how the witches were
presented). What do people want? An extensive study of what a knife does
to flesh when it stabs deep in terms of possible infection? COME ON! There's a story
here...I don't know what the fuck people are talking
"Suspiria" is a haunting, yet
mesmerizing, film that I will always cherish and hold dear to my deader
than Cobain heart. Yes, it does sport minor flaws; the script has a few
nicks to it (as mentioned above) and some of the editing cuts did seem
abrupt, but the good found in this fountain of horror and colors more than overwhelmed those slight paper cuts.
Magic is everywhere…"Hey
Spence, let's trip out!"
Jessica Harper (Suzy) was solid as the lead displaying a mix
of strength and vulnerability that made her very endearing. Her big
expressive eyes also helped. Stephani Casini (Sara) did fine as the
lovable "friend"; there's something about her that was sexy. Joan
Bennet's (Madame Blanc) classy and somewhat cold presence gave the part
the right type of feel. A young Udo Kier (Dr. Mandel) did ok with his
small "exposition heavy" scene. Great hair! Alida Valli (Miss Tanner)
was just plain freaking scary in that butch-from-hell type of way. That
The uncut version is the ONLY version to see. We get
multitude of stabbings, a stab in an opened heart, an impaling, glass in
the face, flesh ripping, barbed wire fun, a slit throat, a stab in the neck
and lots of bright red blood.
We get lots women in tights and there's one scene that has
two chicks braless, wearing t-shirts in a pool...you make your own
conclusions as to how that comes out. The ladies get…men in
tights…lucky you.
Argento goes on a rampage with his visuals here, if it
wasn't the use of colors knocking me off my seat, it was his use of slow
motion, his awesome traveling shots, his extreme close-ups, his stylish
zoom ins or the incredible atmosphere that he managed to syringe into this
film's veins in high dosages. There are so many memorable tableaux here:
the airport scene, the "running in the woods while it's raining" scene, the
hallway "magic spell scene" scene, the "red lighted curtain"
bit…god so many…just watch the freaking movie.
Goblin put out their best score to date here, using odd
instruments, aggressive drums and creepy "gibberish" whispers to
assault us. ARROW NOTE: It's also a great CD to put on while you're
scoring with
a stress relieving one night stand; try it, you'll thank me in the
morning when the skank FINALLY leaves your place scared out of her wits.
La- La- La- La- La- La- La-….La- La- La- La- la- la- La…..YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Suspiria" was ahead of its time in its cosmetic ambitions and
fantastic audio tendencies. Argento crafted an immortal and brilliant
horror masterpiece with this film, one that should not be touched, should not be remade
or altered but one that should be admired and respected because yes, it
still holds up like a cauldron of severed head stew today. Personally,
"Suspiria" is more than just a film for me; it's the "Michael Angelo" of
horror movies. I always go back to it when I'm hungry for an "eyes
glued to the screen" experience or when in dire need of inspiration.
From the bottom of my grave I say; thank you Mr. Argento for this
priceless piece of genre art.
Nicolodi came up with the idea for "Suspiria" based on a true story her
grandmother told her.
Originally, Dario wanted Suspiria to star kids but the idea didn't fly,
that's why the actors somewhat act like kids at times and why the door
handles are so high…to make them look like kids.
Films can shove their planned "Suspiria" remake deep up their
Resurrection" bung hole.
Argento had
the music recorded before the shoot and would play it on set to freak out
the actors while shooting. He did the same thing on "Inferno".
Argento saw Jessica Harper in Brian
DePalma's Phantom of the Paradise which prompted him to cast her for Suspiria.
Argento found
the actor who played Pavlo, the Romanian, working in an Italian Post
this movie on The Arrow's HORROR BOARD

He stroked her sweetest flesh, finding her slippery with need. Dani moaned as his big hand fondled her, heating her insides. Meanwhile Gelan and Krijero bent to kissing her face, breasts and belly, their mouths balmy on her skin. Rough, catlike tongues lapped here and there, the flesh like coarse velvet. Dani closed her eyes and floated on the sensations.
A mouth closed over one nipple, suckling it to a peak. Another trailed kisses from her sternum to her navel and back up again. Fingers gently parted her nether lips open to allow other fingers to swirl in the pooled moisture of her core. They spread the slick honey all over her secret flesh, including her clitoris. She sighed at the swell of pleasure that lapped through her body.
The mouth left her breast to trail kisses to her lips. A tongue swept into her mouth, possessing her with tender force. At the same time, another tongue whirled around her untasted nipple, bringing it to the same stark attention as its neighbor.
The soft touch of hair on her belly and thighs alerted Dani to Wynhod's next action. As his talented fingers continued to explore the petals of her sex, his mouth closed on her clit. His tongue slid over it as he sucked. Dani moaned into the mouth covering hers, her senses igniting.
The wicked tongue played with her most sensitive flesh, delighting her with different levels of pressure. Her hips bucked helplessly in reaction as he twirled and rubbed and flicked and laved. One finger slid into her wet warmth. In and out it moved, taking her higher with every tender intrusion.
Nibbled. Nuzzled. Devoured. Dani moaned under the men's delicious attention. Diamond bright flashes of arousal stabbed through her belly. Her hands swept over the two bodies she could reach: Gelan and Krijero. The thick muscled bodies over hers made her feel small, dainty, and soft. The careful way they handled her gave her a sense of safety. She basked in the glow of being loved like a woman should be.
The moist sounds of Wynhod's finger moving in and out so slowly, of his lips and tongue's carnal kiss on her delicate nub made things below go tighter. Dani had never known mere sound could add to sensual excitement. Her hips moved up and down of their own accord, a hypnotized dance under the Kalquorians' spell.

In large American hospitals, the number of women using some kind of spinal pain relief in childbirth tripled in the 15 years to 1997 to 66%, according to research by the University of Colorado School of Medicine. In the biggest teaching hospitals on the east and west coasts, that figure rises to between 75% and 90% of all women, not just first timers.
Around one in four American women give birth by caesarian section - the Posh option in the UK. The vast majority of these are given an epidural so that they can remain alert during the operation.
Compare these figures with those in the UK, where about 24% of women nationally were given an epidural in 1999. Even in London, the latest evidence from doctors suggests that between 50% and 70% of women receive epidurals.
That percentage is not much higher than the 42% of women administered with epidurals in small, community hospitals in America. Many of these, living in places such as Montana and Wyoming, live too far away from the hospital to have time for drugs.
Why the big difference across the Atlantic? Like most subjects involving childbirth, there are lots of different points of view and most are passionately held. Anaesthesiologists believe that American women have learnt that the procedure, in which the anaesthetic is injected into the space next to the spine, is simply the best form of pain relief with minimum side effects.
David Birnbach, the director of obstetric anaesthesia at St Lukes Roosevelt Hospital, one of New York City's largest hospitals, says: "Any woman who can't handle the pain and who asks for medication in a large hospital in the US is given options. After a thorough discussion, most women will choose an epidural."
Dr Birnbach, who is also chairman of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, adds: "The option of just grinning and bearing it just isn't an option in the US."
Supporters of more natural childbirths are horrified at the rapid rise in the drug since the early 1980s, however. They believe that the UK, with its greater use of midwives and different types of pain relief, should not be tempted to follow the US lead.
Carol Sakala, director of programmes at the Maternity Centre Association, says: "Every indication suggests that the use of epidural is rising very steadily and access to alternatives is getting severely limited in the US."
Very few US hospitals offer the gas-and-air (nitrous oxide) or tens machines, which are used by many women in the UK. The former is considered potentially dangerous to staff as well as women themselves while the latter is put in the same camp as herbal tea - ok for hippies but generally ineffective.
"An epidural is effective," continues Ms Sakala. "But women haven't been given adequate information about the downsides. Most women ask for it in the parking lot, they think it's such a great idea."
The sort of veiled criticism directed at Posh Spice and Patsy Kensit is directed at New Yorkers in America. Manhattan enjoys a higher rate of caesarean sections and induced labours than the nation as a whole. While some doctors credit the fact that Manhattan mums tend to be older and better educated than average, others suspect a desire to schedule their birthing experience the same way they do tai chi lessons or business lunches.
"New York City is the capital of social inductions," said one midwife. "There's a sense of, 'Well, Tuesday would be convenient'."
British patients fear that the relatively limited use of epidural reflects a desire to save money in the NHS. In the US, the problem only extends to women covered by Medicaid.
Dr Birnbach says that the state health benefit allows just $40 for each epidural, an amount which barely covers the cost of the drug itself without the doctor's time. Given such economics, hospitals treating a greater majority of poor patients may be tempted to wait longer to administer epidurals.
Few childbirth experts expect much of an increase in the use of epidurals in the US, however. As Dr Birnbach says: "At my hospital, it's already at 90%. You can't go much higher than that."
Indeed, rather than being a sign of success, epidurals in the US are really rather common.

Shares of airlines aren't having a good summer.
Since July 7, when it reached an all-time high, the Standard and Poor's Composite Airlines Index has fallen 17%. Of the eight major airlines, only Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) has a year-to-date share price gain with its shares are up 5%.
The industry may get a chance to explain itself and perhaps reduce guidance this week. Key events include Delta Air Lines Co.'s (DAL) August traffic report, scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 5; and the Cowen & Co. airline investor conference on Wednesday, Sept. 6.
With United Continental Holdings Inc.'s (UAL) chief financial officer in the spotlight after Hurricane Harvey struck Houston, the carrier's second-biggest hub, CFO Andrew Levy is scheduled to speak at the conference at 8:30 a.m. ET.
Cowen & Co. analyst Helane Becker wrote last Wednesday that she expects "managements will update guidance to the low end of the range" at the conference.
"Pricing trends are currently not favorable," Becker wrote. "Fares from the Northeast to Florida are again in double digits [and] walk-up fares in some markets are lower than advance purchase fares."
In particular, Becker said, walk-up fares in Denver, Newark and Chicago, are lower than expected. All three cities are United hubs where ultra-low-fare carriers have impacted pricing.
"If this continues into the December quarter, estimates will require another round of revisions," she said.
UBS analyst Darryl Genovesi also takes a dim view of industry prospects following an industry conference in Las Vegas last week.
"Domestic revenue trends have taken another leg down since initial Q3 guidance," Genovesi wrote in a recent report. He said most carriers may cut current third-quarter guidance.
Factors in the decline include efforts by United, American Airlines Group Inc. (AAL) and Southwest to match fare reductions by ultra-low-cost carriers Spirit Airlines Inc. (SAVE) and Frontier Airlines, geopolitical events and the impact of Hurricane Harvey, he said.

Nerdy Craft Time With Brenda: Sailor Moon Crescent Wand
Hello Everyone! Today I thought I may change things up a bit and do a little anime craft time if that's ok. Today I want to show a video on how to make a cosplay Sailor Moon crescent wand! OOOH I am super excited.
For those who are not aware, Sailor Moon was the first anime I ever watched, and I looooooooved it. Watched it religiously never missing a new episode on cartoon network. My favorite episode was when Serena transforms into Sailor Moon for the first time in front of Darien (Tuxedo Mask) and still gives me the chills to this day.
Today we will be watching a video from Timeloveslemons who shows us how to make a Crescent wand out of molding clay. Now this seems easy enough, just a few items and more imagination really. I don't work with clay myself but it looks easy enough and for a piece of Sailor Moon cosplay, I am sure I would be willing to try. Besides, to buy a life-sized replica of her wand is way out of my budget; this version is much easier on the wallet (about $14 altogether).
The Things Needed:
- Crayola Air dry clay
- Molding Tools
- Acrylic Paint set
- Modge Podge
So there you have it, watch this video, make your own sailor moon wands, and post some pictures so I can see the awesomeness that is your creations. ^_^

Best Uses
We actually ordered these plates for an avid airplane enthusiast who was turning 65. Being able to add his picture on the plate kept the guests talking about how creative they were. The picture on the plate looked exactly like the photo we sent in. Even though these are plates for a young boy, at least one grown man enjoyed seeing his picture on an airplane themed plate.
Best Uses
Used the plate as part of a first birthday party themed "Time Flies". It was perfect! Received many inquiries on where I got the product. Shindingz of course!!!!!!

Objective Students will: Trace the route of a Newport slave ship. Examine connections the slave trade created between the North and the South. Resources Triangular Trade (map) Voyage of the Hare (handout) New England and the African Slave Trade (reading) Videos on the slave trade are also available. In the Classroom "The Wall"—Begin the class by writing […]
What role did New England play in the history of slavery?
Second edition. October 2008.
The fact that thousands of enslaved people lived in New England rarely makes it into U.S. history textbooks. This curriculum unit explores the nature of the triangular trade and the extent of slavery in New England. Using readings, primary sources, and simulations, students uncover the effects of the slave trade and slavery for Americans and explore how history, and the telling of history, affects us today.
Background readings examine the slave trade and Rhode Island's significant role in it and the institution of slavery in New England.
Creating a Living MuseumStudents use drama to demonstrate historical knowledge by developing a character involved in the triangular trade and performing for classmates.
Slavery Connects the North and the SouthUtilizing primary source documents students reconstruct the route of an actual slave ship and explore different facets of the slave trade, such as social attitudes and financial dimensions.
Enslaved People's ExperiencesUsing source material such as paintings, statistics, poetry, photographs, and gravestones, students develop a comprehensive understanding of the experiences of enslaved people in New England.
Role-Playing the Four OptionsStudents work cooperatively using primary sources to present the four options Rhode Islanders debated at the time. A fourth group plays real townspeople, who ask questions of and evaluate the option groups.
Designing a Museum ExhibitStudents apply their knowledge of slavery in the North by working cooperatively to conceive and design a museum exhibit.

Top 10 Pastas: A Ranking
I'm Italian so I'm an expert 🇮🇹 go and eat to your hearts desire
- 10.RotelleNote: this is just the worst of the best food in the whole world! The shape does nothing for the sauce and the texture just feels weird in your mouth.
- 9.RigatoniDiameter is too thick and it's always a little big for the fork. Also the wrong sauce either falls right off it or congeals onto the surface making it hard to get through, not my favorite
- 8.ElbowsA favorite for most American dishes, would love to rate this higher but it just looks so boring and there are so many more fun options you could use
- 7.FettuccineDon't get me wrong, I love a good Alfredo or scampi, but with its thickness, fettuccine is hard to cook and it takes way longer than spaghetti and angel hair. If you are impatient, avoid this one
- 6.FarfalleThis name actually means butterfly! Everyone loves the bow ties, their little and cute and versatile. They work well both hot and cold. My only complaint, they are also a little tricky to cook because the center is so much thicker than the sides.
- 5.CavatappiThis is also a very popular one in American dishes and why the hell not! The spirals are shaped so that chunkier/meat sauces often pair well with this. I would recommend this pasta for primavera or American chop suey (goulash to you Midwesterners)
- 4.SpaghettiThis one is classic Italian (🐶🍝🐩) it's weightier than angel hair and faster to cook than linguine making it the ideal long pasta. It's also great to throw into a skillet with your sauce at the end of cooking so it absorbs some of that saucy goodness 😌
- 3.RotiniThey're super fun to eat and are also super versatile. They also go with a variety of sauces. They're also lighter which makes them the best choice for a summer pasta salad. Also have you ever seen the gif of it being made, mesmerizing as hell!
- 2.Penne rigateThis ones important because it must have the ridges, that really helps the sauce (i.e. flavor) stick to it. I love penne rigate it's like my committed relationship pasta. Always there when you need it and just feels like home. I take the mezze size and use it for Mac and cheese 😇
- 1.ShellsObviously this would be the best one because I have never met a person that didn't love shells. The big ones can be stuffed, the medium ones hold the perfect amount of sauce, and the mini ones make Annie's Mac and cheese the delicious cheesy heaven it is - not to mention they're adorable!

Kuala Lumpur, Oct.15 : Malaysia will station a labour attache in Chennai, Tamil Nadu from next year to facilitate the smooth intake of foreign workers from India. The New Strait Times quoted Malaysian Human Resources Minister Dr. S. Subramaniam as saying that Chennai was chosen as a majority of workers from India were sourced from Tamil Nadu.
Subramaniam said the labour attache would be able to assist recruitment agencies there on a host of issues including employment rules, immigration regulations, laws of the country, culture, customs, accommodation and the role of agents.
"The attache will also help provide induction courses for prospective workers intending to come to Malaysia. This is to ensure that foreign workers do not run foul of the law when employed here," he said.
"It will also give them a better understanding of what to expect in Malaysia and get settled comfortably," Subramaniam added after a meeting with India's Overseas Indian Affairs and Parliament Affairs Minister Vayalar Ravi yesterday.
There are an estimated 138, 000 registered foreign workers from India employed in Malaysia mainly in the service, agriculture, information technology and manufacturing sectors.
Subramaniam said both governments would sign a bilateral agreement by January to establish a joint committee on labour issues affecting their workers.
Ravi said the joint committee would coordinate and provide avenues for technical training for workers from both India and Malaysia, who wished to gain employment through the proper channels.
"We want both countries to benefit and not allow their workers to be caught in any wrangles."

Wisdom achieved from daily communications with Ascended Master Kuthumi
July 15, 2011
It is always a beautiful day when I get to speak to so many beautiful and enlightened souls. Before I begin dear ones, I would like to let this dear one that I am speaking through know how grateful I am that she accepted my presence and my message.
I would like to speak today dear ones about perception from daily communications and the wisdom that is hiding within what is taking place. There is wisdom to be learned at every corner dear ones.
I have seen many new ones just awakening and they want to have everything already learned without the effort of learning. Learning and becoming fully enlightened is an on-going process and it is not to be rushed. Even the ones who seem so well learned and so wise, are able to learn more and become even wiser.
Much of your wisdom comes from living during certain hardships in this lifetime, and some of your wisdom comes from a previous life. Another area of your wisdom is from communications with others. In your daily interactions, either from the phone, Internet, conversations that take place in person, etc., all have numerous possibilities for renewed wisdom and learnings.
You don't always need to look for the deeper meaning of what is going on. Sometimes the reunion of a friend is simply that, going over memories. But even a meeting such as that creates a moment of shared wisdom. You tell your stories, they tell theirs and so on. Sometimes a deeper respect for the other is achieved or quite the opposite. It is during these interactions that sometimes a person can evaluate themselves on how far they have come. Everyone has their own obstacles to face. None are exactly alike. Everyone has suffered at one time or another, and that is the common ground, not the particulars. The accepting that he or she is like you is a big step. You are not better than the friend and the friend is not better you. What also makes a difference is how you handle these obstacles, and much do you let them effect your life and your spiritual growth.
Someone of deep spiritual enlightenment will know what to do. They will know to seek guidance from their guides, to meditate, find time for themselves for inner work, accept the feelings they are experiencing and understand them for what they are.
But dear ones, there are some people that have a hard time with this. They require others to figure out what it is they need to do. And really dear ones, the ones they seek, can only suggest as the obstacle the other person is facing is theirs and what works for one may not work for the other. All of you dear ones are so unique and have your own ways that work when dealing with troubling issues.
Always dear ones work from your heart core in all matters. Its so easy to allow that troublesome ego to step in, but your ego will not help you, it will only make things worse. Sometimes dear ones, you must step outside of that comfort zone you have built around you and grasp other ideas and ways. And you very well may find ways that appeal, or resonate with you. That is when you grow dear children. And we clap our hands together applauding this new growth.
As each of you are very unique from one another, your perception on an article or conversation can very different also. We of the divine find that wonderful. What one person thinks doesn't make the other person wrong necessarily, just means they see things from a different perspective. I do suggest dear ones that when you are offering your opinion or what you think is the message, speak from the heart. Many times I have watched many dear children speak from their ego, and the words that come out are hurtful. What I have also witnessed dearest ones is that there is still many passing judgments and assumptions. One that speaks from the heart does not pass judgment or make assumptions, they speak with the purest intent. And I know this is hard sometimes. When you are feeling especially overcome by strong words that you know quite easily can be harmful, step back and see what is happening. Think if you were in their shoes, would you want a hurtful comment or words said to you. You say you would not care, but we of the divine know differently dear ones.
I wish for all the children here on Earth to love each other unconditionally. When you see something you do not understand dear ones, simply ask for further explanation. Seek council from your guides, they will also guide you and support you. When you know you are about to communicate strongly on another person's ideas, simply thank them for what they have shared and be done with it. By taking the higher road, you have achieved greater wisdom. You all have something to share dear children. And there is so much you can learn from each other especially when you open your hearts fully, and put aside your differences.
I will soon depart this kind soul. Do not hesitate dear ones to call upon me. My name is pronounced, Koot Hoomi. When sorrow or disappointments invade your being call upon me. I will help transform those dark moments into mystical states of joy and happiness with the light from my unconditional love.
It was indeed a pleasure dear ones to speak to you of this. Until I speak through her again, and I will, love each other, grow together, help others when they ask, take time for yourselves for reflection and spiritual growth. There is so much for you to do and learn dear ones, all is waiting for you to take that big reach to make it happen.
And so it is, Ascended Master, Kuthumi

Abigail Tracy reports, in Vanity Fair, that Robert Mueller now has his sites set on the White House:
While weeks of steady leaks about the Justice Department's Russia probe revealed that special prosecutor Robert Mueller is zeroing in on Paul Manafort, Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, and Michael Flynn, his erstwhile national security adviser, two new reports suggest that the former F.B.I. director has begun to train his focus on the president himself.
Mueller is seeking internal communications and documents related to 13 areas that prosecutors have identified as crucial, particularly those related to the firing of Flynn and Comey, according to both the Post and Times. His team has requested any documents related to Flynn's interview with the F.B.I. earlier this year; his communications with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak; and then acting Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates's meeting with White House counsel Donald McGahn about Flynn and Flynn's subsequent firing. Similarly, the F.B.I. is seeking any documents related to meetings between Comey and Trump while the former served as F.B.I. director and any discussions about his subsequent dismissal, including those tied to the White House's initial statements justifying his ouster.
Trump has done everything in his power to shut Mueller's investigation down. But it continues to accelerate. Apparently, Manafort has been told that Mueller plans to indict him. The question has become who will be the first to sing?
And the first crooner won't be the last.

Press release
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Nick Lucena and #phildalhausser from California landed their first gold in the Swatch Major Series on Sunday at the Rothenbaum stadium after European Champions Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst took a win in their home country on Saturday.
Beating the Dutch pair Alex Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen with a 29-27, 21-12 triumph, Lucena/Dalhausser clinched their fifth gold of the season, the ninth medal in their last 12 tournaments – and a winner's cheque for $57,000.
Maybe more surprisingly, the bronze medal goes to the Russians Viacheslav Krasilniklov and Konstantin Semenov with 15:21, 22:20 and 15:10 against Brazilian favorites Alison and Bruno Schmidt.
"Today we showed our best volleyball and were rewarded with the victory," said Dalhausser, an Olympic champion in 2008. "Of course, the momentum played after winning, very tight first set a crucial role, as in sports in general. In the second set, we then developed a high leadership - and we have not let us take. #hamburg was just great! That even the finals came despite the bad weather as many viewers, is great. A gorgeous mood!"
On Saturday, Ludwig/Walkenhorst from #germany rejoiced the 8,000 fans gathered on the Center Court to defeat Agatha Bednarczuk and Barbara Seixas from Brazil in the Women Final. It took them 59 minutes to earn their crown with three sets: 21:19, 19:21 and 15:12.
"The crowd gave us goosebumps," said the local heroes, who took the first German victory at home on the FIVB World Tour.
"We are just happy," added Ludwig during the press conference. "The essential part for us is our teamwork – to support each other. We knew it would be a tough tournament."

The Oregonian, June 28, 2011
Before leaving the office to visit a homebound patient, Tony Ohotto, MD, gathered a few necessities: his stethoscope, medical notes, and a pair of well-worn bicycling shoes. Dark clouds threatened rain, so Ohotto packed a rain slicker before hopping on his 10-speed. Kevin Callahan, a certified occupational therapy assistant, joined him for a 15-minute ride to their patient's home, a residential care facility in Southeast Portland. "When you roll up on a bike, it gets you some street cred with patients and caregivers," says Ohotto, a geriatric specialist and staff physician at Providence ElderPlace, a program that provides healthcare, housing and other services for older adults. Through good weather and bad -- and despite the social and professional pressures favoring car transport -- Ohotto and Callahan have found on-the-job bicycling to be eminently practical.

Tree of the Week: Black Chokeberry (Aronia melonocarpa)
by Ryan Murphy
Our research nursery here on the University of Minnesota St. Paul campus has a variety of species including a new favorite of mine – Aronia melonocarpa (black chokeberry). "Black chokeberry is an open, upright, spreading, somewhat rounded but leggy, deciduous shrub which typically grows 3-6′ (infrequently to 9′) tall; features clusters of 5-petaled, white flowers in spring which are followed in early autumn by blackish purple, blueberry-sized fruits; and has lustrous, dark green foliage that turns an attractive purplish red in autumn" (chokeberry page). A. melonocarpa is found naturally in swampy wooded areas in North America. It can survive in both full sun and partial shade. The plant prefers a slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0 to 6.5), however, is tolerant of a wide pH range (pH 5.0 to 8.5). Aronia is a good substitute for those growers who would love to grow blueberries but do not want to deal with dropping their soil's pH into blueberry's preferred range (pH 4.0 to 5.0). The other awesome thing about this plant is the highly nutritious berry. The fall berries are super-rich in anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins as well as a variety of other minerals and vitamins. The visual appeal of this plant's white flowers in the spring, attractive color in autumn, and nutritious berries make this a very exciting plant indeed.

2014 Minnesota Elm Collection Begins!!!
by blair084
On Tuesday February 18, we began our 2014 Elm collection process. On Tuesday, we collected material to propagate new baby trees for screening from two American elm selections located on streets in the metro area. Throughout February and March, we will be rolling around the state of Minnesota to collect material from high preforming elms found in the state observed by foresters or home owners for propagation. Eventually, the baby trees propagated from cuttings and grafts will be inoculated with Dutch elm disease (DED) to see if the selection is a resistant to DED. Hopefully we will be able to find DED resistant elms that were found right in the great state of Minnesota!!
Bellow is a short photo essay of our 1st day of 2014 collections
1st American Elm collected in 2014
2nd American Elm collected in 2014
More updates on Minnesota elm collection to come!
Time Travel along Olson Memorial Highway
by Chad Giblin
Team Tree's decade-long odyssey with Olson Memorial Highway began with a Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board Arbor Day planting in the early 2000's. This included many of the selections originally grown at the Urban Forestry Outreath & Research Extension Nursery. Since then, the median down the center of Highway 55 has become a living laboratory to track performance of many of the Dutch elm disease resistant cultivars.
The benefits of timely developmental pruning are very evident. These trees are well on their way to shading this busy metropolitan thoroughfare, without pruning at the right time and correct dose this wouldn't be possible.\
Check out the embedded Condition Rating charts, these track overall tree quality based on a quantitative rating system meant to identify defects that detract from overall tree quality.
Tree of the Week: Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides)
by Carl Blair-Broeker
Metasequoia glyptostroboides (Dawn Redwood) is a tree that looks similar to the Redwoods that grow in the Redwood National Forest (Sequoia sempervirens, Coast Redwood) and the Sequoia National Forest (Sequoiadendron giganteum, Giant Sequoia). Metasequoia glyptostroboides has a much shorter mature height of 70 to 100 feet as opposed to the record Sequoia sempervirens of 379 feet!! The foliage has a soft fern like appearance with exfoliating bark and a pyramidal form making it a perfect specimen tree where adequate space is available. Metasequoia glyptostroboidesprefers likes moderately wet soil making it a good rain garden choice.
Dawn Redwood is also a fast growing tree. This past spring in the nursery, we planted ten Dawn Redwood trees into 15 gallon containers and were about less than 1" in caliper. At the end of the season, the Dawn Redwoods had an approximate caliper of 1.5" and a stunning 2 feet of new growth! While Metasequoia glyptostroboides is of the hardiest redwood/sequoia family, it still is a zone 5 making winter hardiness in Minnesota a potential problem. Our Dawn Redwoods are currently heeled in a cozy layer of mulch for the winter to keep the roots insulated (right image). Hopefully come next spring, all ten will have survived this cold winter and will be able to be planted out in the city!
By planting unique species like Dawn Redwood in Minnesota will help diversify the urban forest. The ten trees that we will plant out in the city will be a helpful trial on how well they perform in the harsh Minnesota winters. While Metasequoia glyptostroboides is a zone 5 tree, micro climates in the city should help the likelihood of survival when extreme cold hits.
Check out some of the awesome close up images in the gallery below!!

Nanobox duo setup question
Newstead replied to duderubble's topic in Lighting ForumI know exactly what you mean about overwhelming. You can get the cable at most home supply stores - I have found it at Lowes and Ace Hardware. The smallest gauge worked for my Nanobox quad hybrid, so it should be plenty strong enough. It is only cents per foot.
How long do coral live?
Newstead replied to mbarton2010's topic in General DiscussionInteresting! Thanks for sharing.
Of course! From our deck ..
A lesson learned - in the boonies you had better have a backup for everything! I have extra heaters, powerheads, etc. but no backup pump. Will be rectifying that tomorrow.
Thank you x 1000! I had been trying to remove the green tubing all afternoon - with your help I had it out in 10 seconds! Am going to try cleaning, if that doesn't work, will run extra powerheads tonight til I can get to store tomorrow. You are all fish lifesavers!
Need help ASAP please - plumbing
Newstead posted a topic in General DiscussionHaven't been on in a while - we are completing a move to our dream home literally up on a mtn. Chickened out of moving our SCA 75 + sump and paid $$$$ for our formerly close LFS to move the tank, sump, stand and livestock 3 hours away and replumb it for me. Went well except for losing my favorite ( of course) fish. So today, 3 weeks later, my return pump has died - runs for 10 seconds then stops. I know I should have learned more about plumbing, but I had them set it up last year as well. We are really, really remote - 3650 feet, 20 minutes down 6 switchbacks to a very small town. Over an hour to the closest LFS. I need to be able to get the pump out to replace it and I am scared of wrecking the plumbing. Can anyone please tell me how I remove the return pump, hopefully without destroying the pipe setup? It is a tall sump, not a lot of room to manuever. (And just to add to the fun, the one road out is closed down in the valley below us due to flooding, so no hope of getting to LFS today).
Bluefish login failure
Newstead replied to Newstead's topic in Lighting ForumThanks, all - I thought I had updated it, but I tried the update again and voila! Logged in with no problem.
Bluefish login failure
Newstead posted a topic in Lighting ForumAny ideas? When I tried to open Bluefish I only get this:
Chaeto in a Biocube
Newstead replied to uwharrie's topic in Macroalgae & PlantsI have thought about that myself since I am always throwing chaeto out of the fuge on our 75. Had thought about putting it in a loose mesh bag behind the rocks. Will be interested to see what people think!
RO/DI Water Storage Question
Newstead replied to colinlevy's topic in Beginners DiscussionI kept mine exactly as you are planning for 4 years before we got a bigger tank and bought a RODI unit. Ashamed to say I didn't even heat or aerate it after buying it from our LFS and it was fine (I changed 2 gal a week in our 29).
Clownfish eggs
Newstead replied to seabass's topic in General DiscussionSo sorry about Sydney. I applaud you for keeping up the effort - you are certainly adding to the knowledge base. Success soon!
My 14 gallon biocube reef
Newstead replied to Joshua27's topic in Beginners DiscussionWill look forward to seeing it - my first tank was a b14!
Just saying hello
Newstead replied to gonebad395's topic in Beginners DiscussionAre you putting floss on the top shelf? It really dampens any noise as well as filtering out larger particles. I replace it 2x a week to keep it clean.
Twin spot goby-my screw up!
Newstead replied to Clown79's topic in General DiscussionBeen there, done that ;-). I had talked about getting a yellow clown goby, sent hubby to pick up water, he surprised me with a yellow watchman goby. Which meant, of course, we had to get him a randalli pistol for him. Hope your twin spot does well for you!
Dawn's seahorse garden II
Newstead replied to vlangel's topic in Aquarium JournalsDawn, so sorry about Boaz. But huge congrats on the new grandkids and grandbaby!

The Holiday Season is the best time for you to spending your time with your pals and household, going shopping for Christmas, watching football games by a warm fire , and dining out in fabulous restaurants. And if you are on diet plan, attempting to monitor your weight, you would most likely lose the greatest chance to try healthier dinner at your favored restaurants!
Chinese Restaurants would be one of the very best restaurants for you in the season, as they offer numbers of food, a wide variety of broth-primarily based soups , stir-fried specialties ( with seafood , tofu, vegetables and lean meat ), steamed fish and vegetable dishes , steamed rice , hot mustard sauce , chow mein , and other menus that you would love to try for low-fat , low-calorie , alternatives.
Nevertheless, you should steer clear of some sorts of food for your health, for example, fried egg rolls, fried wontons, dishes made with duck, egg foo yung, and fried chicken. Just try to eat healthier meals, avoiding food above and be make sure that you would be healthy. If you truly want to consume rice, attempt to steer clear of Fried rice and eat steamed rice alternatively. The all-you-can-consume buffet is also not a great decision for your wholesome explanation, and should be avoided at all charges.
If you have a possibility to dine out in a restaurant with Indian Cuisine, you would be presented a number of delicious menus to choose from for healthy, low-fat alternatives, such as Chicken, fish, veggies, steamed rice legumes are included in healthful dishes in every single menu. Bean soups are tasty and healthier. Or you can attempt Chapati, Chicken or Shrimp Vindaloo, or Lamb kabobs. Even so, attempt not to consume fried breads, dishes served with huge amounts of nuts and dishes produced with coconut milk. General, Indian cuisine is a amazing dinner when you are monitoring your food.
And in Italian Restaurants, there are some of the most fattening dishes you could possibly dream of , such as Fried Mozzarella sticks, Lasagna, thick creamy Alfredo pasta dishes and several other folks you can decide on. However, there are some dishes provided for you to make your mouth water as nicely, for instance, Thin crust pizza with vegetable toppings, pasta with tomato-based sauces, chicken cacciatore, chicken Marsala, and biscotti that will keep you enjoying your meal with no obtaining to cutting down calories and watching fat intake. Salads and soup dishes would be also fascinating. Attempt to avoid all deserts in the Italian Restaurants, simply because most of them have a lot of cheese.
Mexican Cuisine is also one more option for your wholesome diet regime. You can attempt Black bean soup, grilled chicken or shrimp dishes, chicken soft tacos, chicken or shrimp fajitas, salsa, and chicken quesadillas, but try to nachos, refried beans, enchiladas, and fried options, such as chimichangas.
The Holiday Season would be the greatest option for you when dine out with loved ones and friends. And it is important to bear in mind that whilst you are on diet plan, you do not have to exclude yourself from all of the holiday cheers, but just try not to cheer as loudly as other individuals!

Once again I have allowed a long time pass between posts. I do read LJ almost daily, but the 20 minutes or so I can justify most days doesn't allow for much more than reading the 40 or so entries that have popped up in the last day. I have finished my chores early tonight, so to catch everyone up on things: ( Really long update about Owning a Game Store, Moving a Game Store and My Wedding cut for space. )It's getting late and I need to get to bed. I will /try/ to update a bit more often in the next couple of months.

Saturday, September 9
The Producer's Club, 358 W. 44th St., New York
A risky, be it "ballsy" endeavor, L.A. based writer Carl Stillitano takes a group of actors and non-actors on a 3 day, 9 hour journey that culminates in an IMPROVISED PLAY on the 4th night! Come bare witness to the magic of creating in the moment. There's no script – just a skeleton of who we are, where we are, what our life circumstances are, our relationships and what we want. We make the rest up! Or rather, let it come from the moment. (Kinda like LIFE "ON drama/comedy/creative self-expression – STERIODS") We invite you to see where our creativity, emotions, passion, soul's, sub-conscious and conscious minds and psyches take us.. We seek the truth and full self-expression. And the courage to "LEAVE IT ALL ON THE STAGE!" … FOR YOU TO ENJOY! A truly unique NYC Theatrical experience. Rare in it's depth and authenticity. Not your "typical" sketch comedy group – hence the title a NIGHT OF INSPIRED IMPROVISATIONAL THEATRE! WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE… Oh, by the way… It's a heck of a lot of FUN!!!

text: During my marriage, we were blessed with three kids. I have only one boy. He is now fully grown up. He has just graduated from college last March 2011. When he was still a student, we always tell him not to get into relationship with girls so that he can focus on his studies. And he did. We did not see him getting along with girls. One day, we were surprised because he brought two young ladies in our house. He toured them at the back of our house because the area is overlooking the sea and the mountain ranges. The two young ladies were very much impressed of the beautiful view and admired our place very much. When the visitors left, my husband asked my son about the two girls. He suspected that one of them maybe special for him. During their conversation, my son did not hesitate to tell his father that he has some feeling of the girl with long hair. Only, he cannot just easily express it personally. Then, he advice him to use the cell phone. He can text the girl gradually. He inspires him that there are many ways how to text a girl you like. My husband seemed to understand that my son is now adult and he has to experience a relationship with a woman he likes. He just want to make sure that things goes well and that they won't hide anything from us. In this way, they will maintain open communication to themselves and to us and that they will not have unnecessary temptations that will bring stain to their relationship.
