Tutorialsserve as a brief review and/or refresher of focused topics that the students have likely encountered previously in their education, but usually in a different context. For example, most physics students have taken a course in Thermodynamics or at least have covered the key thermodynamic concepts in their Freshman Intro to Physics course. Yet I've found that almost all physics students remember very little in this area.
The Thermo tutorial reviews the Ideal Gas Law, State Variables (like Temperature, Pressure, Internal Energy, Entropy, Enthalpy, Gibbs energy) the First and Second Laws, Adiabatic and Diabatic processes, the concept of a heat engine, heat capacities and their relationship to atomic/molecular properties, and phase changes.
Tutorials usually takes about half an hour or so and provides enough refresher to then tackle the applications to the atmosphere.

2011 Calender for FamilyJanuary 28, 2011 # 10:09 pm # Gadget Summary # No Comment
2011 comes, new hopes, new plans and of course new calendars. Have you had your 2011 calendar? If not, this Family Organizer Calendar perhaps suits to you and your family. Rather than having several separated calendars, I think this big wall calendar can accommodate all of you and your family's needs.
I myself like this calendar because there are project list and activities-to-do list pages. This kind of calendar helps me manage my schedule better. Moreover, I often forget about what activities to do / target to achieve next day or next week, so by writing on activities-to-do page, it reminds me what to do next. Unlike other organizer calendars that only provide small space to write, this calendar provides large space so we can write multiple activities in daily activities column. This calendar uses better paper than other common calendars, so writing on it is enjoyable whether we use marker, pencil, or ballpoint. Moreover this family organizer calendar can be used to teach about achieving target to children because there are cartoon pictures that show daily activities such as sleeping, family breakfast, watching television together, etc.
There are also suggestions about dinner menu on every page, so for mother, it can be a source of idea what to cook next. If you want this advantageous 2011 organizer calendar, you only have to spend about $7.

Can we talk about Glee for a minute? Just for a minute?
Oh my gosh…it is the cutest thing ever. I watched it for the premiere for the first time last night and fell in love with it. Combining the all-to-identifiable high school angst, a passionate teacher, soulful song and dance combos, a blooming romance, some pitiful underdogs with incredible talent, Glee might just be THE PERFECT TELEVISION SHOW. My cheeks are hurting this morning from all the smiling I did last night as I was glued to the TV.
Here's the extended trailer:
And I don't thing words can express how much I love this song:
Have you watched Glee yet? Did you LOVE it too?
If you haven't seen it, Fox is re-airing the premiere tonight. Set your DVRs!
Well, I may have finally something I can be fanatical about. Researching Glee tattoos as we speak! 😉

Panevino Restaurant Ratings and Reviews
Ambience was great. Had a cocktail in the lounge before being seated for dinner. The booth was comfortable for the 4 of us and afforded a wonderful view. We shared appetizer's and each had our own main course. All the the staff was very friendly and helpful, no attitude or haughtiness. Overall a great experience!
Our server was not familiar with their gluten free options and went to ask the chef but came back with very little explanation. We contemplated leaving but then the manager walked by so we asked him and he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We were so glad we stayed because our food was AMAZING! Everything was cooked perfectly and we felt we got a generous amount of seafood for the price.
I would definitely go back but would hope for a different server.
We celebrated my Husband's birthday with his family by his side. We're both vegetarians and they have an extensive vegan menu. The wait staff were attentive and food was delicious. Corkage is $35/bottle, so if you don't want to bring your own, they have an extensive offerings as well.
Panevino is a hidden gem in Las Vegas. It is a great restaurant and bar off the strip and outside the hotel/casino environment.
The wine and liquor selection is very good, the menu is quite interesting and the service is attentive and very responsive.
It is equally well-suited for business dining or a quiet romantic meal for two.
Took my lady's daughter to Panevino for her birthday dinner. It was her first time eating here. She had always wanted to eat at this restaurant. Once again we were not disappointed. The food was its usual sumptuous self. The service was efficient, but not obtrusive. The atmosphere was appreciated as was the fact it overlooked the airport. We will continue to savor Panevino's food in the future.
This restaurant has always been a favorite but havnt been in several months. When our food came its want the quality we have always experienced in the past. Sauces were different not a flavorful. We were wondering if ownership or kitchen staff has changed. For the cost was definitely disappointed . The restaurant is lovely and always had good service .
Outstanding selection for vegetarians and Vegans. Some of the dishes were good but need a little more. The humus wrapped in eggplant would have been even better with some lemon infused olive oil. The gnocchi was served in a very simple tomato sauce and would have benefited from a more seasoned marinara. Much of this is personal taste. The Seabass was cooked perfectly and the arugula salad was very tasty. Certainly try this place and express your preferences.
LOved the place and the beautiful view if the strip. My reservation was at 7:30 and did not get a table (for 2) until 7:45. The waiter dropped off the wine menu and never came back. After a while a manager came to our table and took our drink order. The waiter again did not come to take our dinner order . After waiting for over 15 minutes called on the manager again to ask if we could be helped. He apologized and proceeded to take our order he also sent a free appetizer to our table. The initial waiter delivered our food and later came back to ask if everything was ok. He didn't appear happy or showed genuine concern about what happened. Never apologized. Usually tip at least 20% but tjus time only tipped 10%. The food was very good!! Because of that we will come back again hopefully get better service.
First I have to preface the review with some background. I am from Italy and make all my own homemade pasta, gravy and Italian ethnic food. If you want outstanding food with homemade pasta and experience an owner Vincenzo who cares about his guests and food get in you car, plane, taxi or whatever and get there as fast as you can. I have eaten Italian food in many places, New York, Boston and overseas and this in my opinion is 6 stars.
We had to ask our server for more water and to fill our wine glasses. Dirty dishes sat in front of us for a long time. For the price they should employ multiple servers or at the very least a busser to assist the server. I have never been to a restaurant of this scale and had only one person attending to us and the same server attending alone to a party of 20 right next to us. Food was great quality but a couple dishes came out cold. I have been here multiple times and this was my first poor experience. I say step up the customer service!
Panevino was a delightful surprise! My husband and I are plant-based physicians (vegan) from Omaha, Nebraska. My sister recommended we dine here due to their extensive plant-based menu-it did not disappoint! The food was spectacular! The general manager Vincenzo is extremely knowledgeable and well versed in plant-based nutrition. He is a graduate of Dr. T. Colin Campbell's nutrition course from Cornell University so not only is his food delicious but creatively nutritious. He graciously stopped by our table taking time from his busy evening to passionately talk with us about our diet and his menu. A more hospitable host you will not find. Add to this a stunning view of the Las Vegas skyline in a beautiful setting with an extensive wine list and diners are in for one amazing evening!
Grazie Mille Vincenzo!
Panevino is one of the few fine dining restaurants open for lunch and hence is perfect for a classy business lunch with clients or suppliers. The availability of round tables is particularly welcome for a business meeting. Great menu on the pricier side but excellent quality and presentation. Officially the restaurant is open until two for lunch, but they won't run you off if you wish to stay as late as you like. I found out that you can still get the full menu at the bar at any open hour, even thought they're officially closed from 2:00 until 5:00. There are booths and some tables in the bar too. This is the restaurant I always go to for that important business lunch.
I made my reservation on-line 2 days ahead and requested for a window table for 2. Panevino met my request and gave me the best window table in the house. Michael was our waiter. He was very knowledgeable and experienced. He introduced the restaurant and the menu very well. He described in full detail the dishes we were interested in. With that we were able to decide on the dish we wanted. Michael also recommended a very suitable table wine for our meal. I will definitely return to Panevino and will request to be served by Michael again.
We went there because it was vegan we ordered the vegan lasagne $26.00 and the vegan meatloaf my husband substituted the mashed potatoes for risotto that was an extra 10.00 charge for a total of $36.00. The lasagne was very dry and I did order more sauce for it. My husband liked his meal but again the sauce on the meatloaf was very sparse and we had to get more sauce. The ambiance was very nice the service was great but way over priced for what you get. The ravioli was $26.00 for 5 pieces.
It took over 40 minutes to order our meal even though we were one of the first tables seated that evening. As the evening progressed our table seemed to be invisible. We had issues with a couple of our meals and never saw our waiter to ask for assistance. I was very disappointed as we were celebrating a special occasion for friends from out of state. Our prior experiences here has been excellent and worthy of returning, not so this time. A VERY expensive mistake

One of the best experiences I had
during my recent Alaskan cruise
was visiting the Hammer Museum
in Haines.
Yes, a Hammer Museum.
The entrance fee was $3
but the experience was priceless.
I didn't have a passion for hammers.
Heck, before visiting the museum,
I didn't even know
there was more than one kind of hammer.
(The Hammer Museum has thousands)
But I was immediately swept up
in the owners' passion for hammers.
Each hammer was carefully displayed,
with a card sharing its (often humorous) history.
Many hammers had copies of the patents.
There were hammers all over the world
including a hammer that was used
to build the pyramids in Giza.
I felt the love of hammers
and by the end of the tour,
I shared that love.
I'll never look at hammers the same way again.
Passion sells.
Remember that
when you talk about your own products.
The Hammer Museum will soon expand
into Mallets and Nails
which the owners are as passionate about.

More than half the members of the House of Representatives avoided holding customary town hall meetings during their August vacation. No wonder they're ducking the public. The spin Congress put on the debt ceiling deal doesn't jibe with the facts.
Now the six Democrats on the newly created deficit reduction committee are angling for another round of stimulus spending, a sign they intend to reduce the deficit by hiking taxes, not curbing spending.
Here's what the fine print in the Budget Control Act of 2011 says, and why there's trouble ahead.
Myth 1: A dollar of cuts for every dollar of debt hike
The deal allows the President to raise the debt ceiling by as much as $2.4 trillion over the next six months. Speaker of the House John Boehner sold it as "a step toward fiscal sanity," claiming the deal "includes spending cuts larger than the increase in the debt ceiling." Don't believe that.
The new law specifies $917 billion in spending "cuts," and depends on a deficit reduction committee to find the rest. The $917 billion are not cuts. Future spending will be higher than current spending but less than what was planned. Washington calls this "baseline budgeting," a Beltway colloquialism that has bamboozled the public for years.
Of the $917 billion in adjustments, only a microscopic $21 billion occur next year. Two thirds of the "cuts" come after 2016. These are phony promises. No Congress can control what the next one does. The public is getting about a penny of certain cuts for every dollar the debt is hiked.
The new law sets up a Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction –12 members of Congress – to propose another $1.2 trillion to $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction over ten years by reducing future spending or raising taxes or both. Republican leaders in Congress boasted that they made a deal without tax hikes. But hold onto your wallets.
Myth2: The deal doesn't raise taxes.
The deal already includes allowing the Bush tax rates to expire at the end of 2012. That means higher taxes on capital gains, dividends, small businesses and employees. In addition, the Obama health law raises taxes $503 billion over a decade, and those tax hikes begin in 2013.
Despite these impending tax hikes, the six Democrats on the deficit reduction committee are pushing for they call a "balanced approach," meaning piling on more tax hikes instead of focusing on spending restraint.
If Republicans don't go along with the hikes and the committee stalemates (it has until Thanksgiving to agree on a plan) the Budget Control Act calls for automatic reductions in certain areas of the federal budget beginning in fiscal 2013. . Defense is one sixth of the budget but it gets whacked with nearly half these adjustments. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned they would "have a devastating effects on our national defense."
The deal puts the public between a rock and a hard place – forced to accept more tax hikes or risky reductions in defense and national security. "We can shoot you in the head or cut off your right leg," is how former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich summarized it.
One consolation is that such automatic reductions have been tried before and failed. What this Congress does can be superseded – undone –by any future Congress. The net result is that the President Obama, who has increased federal spending 28% in three years, gets at least $2.1 trillion in borrowing authority to continue the spree.
On Monday, President Obama appointed Alan Krueger to head the Council of Economic Advisors. Krueger advocates adding a VAT to the nation's tax burden. Here comes the Vanishing America Tax.
Don't count on the Budget Control Act to restore America's credit rating. In 2010, voters spoke clearly by electing fiscal conservatives to the House of Representatives. But the Republican leadership passed over these newcomers in selecting the deficit reduction committee, and also passed over Rep. Paul Ryan and Senator Jim DeMint, the generals in the battle for affordable government. Voters need to elect a Congress in 2012 with the will to actually reduce spending.

The future of Minnesota's most important natural resource, it's water, is a subject near and dear to the heart of 49er Andrew Sullivan. A member of the City of Eden Prairie's Water Department, Sullivan is volunteering his time to create awareness for the future of the state's water supply.
Sullivan and others are working on producing a documentary entitled "Liquid Assets Minnesota" for Twin Cities Public Television (TPT) that strives to raise awareness about Minnesota's critical water infrastructure, which includes drinking water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer services.
"This project is important to all Minnesotans," said Sullivan. "As volunteers we are doing everything from research to finding generous sponsors who want to help us make a difference."
So far Blueprint Minnesota has raised $19,000 of the projected $30,000 to make the film. "Every bit helps. We aren't doing this to turn a profit," said Sullivan. "We are doing this as volunteers to make residents and business aware that our liquid assets are reaching a critical point where more education, conservation and support are needed."
At www.blueprintminnesota.com, perspective sponsors can find more information about the project and discover other ways they can help. "As a 49er this project is very important to me," said Sullivan. "With more attention comes more projects to keep our water systems protected. Those projects will put my fellow 49ers to work doing good things for Minnesota."
Sponsoring this project is easy said Sullivan. "We have numerous funding levels, each with multiple sponsorship premiums," he said. "Together we can fund this project and put it on the air to inform Minnesotans of the critical action necessary to sustain our precious water resources."
Glen Johnson, business manager of Local 49 said he applauds the initiative taken by Sullivan and his team at Blueprint Minnesota. "This is a cause all Minnesotans should take seriously," he said. "Andrew and the other producers are giving of their time to bring attention to a situation that may otherwise get overlooked. It's that spirit of volunteerism and care for the environment that make me proud to be a fellow 49er. We all can do something to help this project."

Pictured Rocks Road Trip, May 2015 Edition
It's Memorial Day weekend, which makes the beginning of summer road tripping season. And yesterday was one of those epic Upper Peninsula days. The plan was simple, get a late start and head to Pictured Rocks for the sunset. And it was worth each and every mosquito bite. Truthfully, the mosquitos weren't that bad as long as we kept moving. Typically when we post photos to Instagram and Twitter you see photos taken from a beat up … Read more

For Stunning Sunrise and Sunset Photos, Find Exactly Where the Sun is

"The biggest cliche in photography is sunrise and sunset." – Catherine Opie To Catherine's point, yes, there are a lot of photos of sunrises and sunsets in the world. After all it happens every day.

Wild Bloomers on Mackinac Island
Have you been to Mackinac Island? If so, did you venture beyond the fudge shops and beaches to the untamed interior? As a lover of all things that bloom, I felt like I was in paradise once I made it to the island's internal trails. If you're into wildflowers too, you may know that timing dictates the species. I visited in early June this summer, so the initial bloomers were popping up all over. Colorful … Read more

Hi there! I've been reading through all the previous posts of Paris hotel suggestions...however none are exactly my situation/question. Sooo I figured I throw it out there. Going to be in Paris for 4 days (wed thru sat) in October with my 17 y/o daughter. Our intention is to hit all the classic tourist spots, (Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Louvre, etc) and have one or two GREAT meals. Ideally, the hotel will be in a "touristy" location so we don't spend much time having to find our way around. But I'm not really sure where that would be. Budget...up to $300/350 USD per night. From what I'm seeing the more American style hotels (definitely my preference) are pretty over priced. Certainly let me know if I've over looked one. We are also NY'ers and I travel quite a bit for work so kind of particular. Aside from being a walkable distance to some attractions, must have NO smoking rooms, a/c, wireless internet, on site restaurant/room service, and double beds. Yikes...any thoughts?

You'll want to check out the Esprit de France hotel group in Paris, one of the best in your price range (www.esprit-de-france.com/en/). They have 7 excellent properties to choose from.

There is also my favorite, the Esprit St-Germain (www.hotel-esprit-saint-germain.com/en/), but it may be too expensive on your dates.

Since you travel a lot, you sound like you know what you want.
Try this website to start narrowing down hotels.
You can filter by ***, location, type of hotel, price, etc....
My choice is the 6em, preferably on the Seine side of St. Germain. It's easy walking distance to Notre Dame, St. Chappele, Musee D'Orsay, and a tad futher for the Tour Eiffel.
Once you're closer, check the hotel website to see if a better price is offered.

Robert2533 - I just looked at your recommended hotel, and the cheapest rate is over $400 US per night, with an outrageous price for breakfast. I don't think the OP wants to spend this kind of $$$$$.

A/C in October? Odds are very low that you would ever turn it on.
Report Abuse
Of your requirements I think there are tonnes of places:
walkable distance to some attractions - basically any hotel in the 1-6 arrondisments
must have NO smoking rooms - I think they all are now due to smoking regulations
a/c - cant imagine you would need this in Oct
wireless internet - most 2 star+ hotels offer this
on site restaurant/room service - this will be harder to find, but I cant imagine going to Paris and eating room service??? There are restaurants on basically every corner...
double beds - a double room will have a double bed. If you want two you will need to look at a quad room, or a twin room with two beds.
Why dont you look at trip advisor and see what appeals to you if you are particular - you should get lots of variety there plus reviews.

Hi V,
>one or two GREAT meals. Ideally, the hotel will be in a "touristy" location so we don't spend much time having to find our way around. But I'm not really sure where that would be. Budget...up to $300/350 USD per night. ... Aside from being a walkable distance to some attractions, must have NO smoking rooms, a/c, wireless internet, on site restaurant/room service, and double beds.<
I do not mean to be unkind, but you sound exactly like an American Tourist being satirized on TWTWTW by David Frost by in the 60's.
You seem to be trying to bring NYC with you.
A/C in Paris in October? Avg High/Low are 61/49 F
An onsite restaurant? Paris has over 40,000 restos.
The Michelin Guide Website lists 100 starred restos.
Two double beds? More likely twins.
"walkable distance to some attractions"? What attractions do you wish to visit?
Why not look up Paris under "Destinations"?
Paris has a reasonably good public transit system.
GREAT meals? What's your level of sophistication, and what is your budget?
You can filter hotels by price and location with www.booking.com as well as with www.venere.com. Pick out a few and we can help you decide.
Enjoy your planning.

Sorry --iPad not cooperating.
. . we don't try to turn it into our beloved San Diego. Most people enjoy Paris best when they try to "get into" its abundant charm. My advice: forget that room service exists, and eat only at real Parisian restos, bistros, cafes, crepe stands, etc.

We love the Hotel Muguet in the 7th. You can walk to the Eiffel Tower if you want. It is between two main metro stops, and on 4 bus lines that will take you anywhere. It is near MANY really good and reasonable restaurants, and has great ambience. If you are lucky, you could even get the room that has a view of the Tower.
room service--really? Well, you're on up there.
For 4 days, in Paris, can you give THAT up?

I'm not sure what you mean about "American style" hotels being overpriced or which ones you are calling that, but the main ones I think of like that (maybe the Hilton by the Tour) and a few large chain business hotels) don't seem overpriced any more than other hotels in Paris. YOu pay more for those 4* business hotels, which is what you are looking for if you insist on an in-house restaurant (mostly). There are some 4* French hotels that don't even have a restaurant, such as the Aubusson in St Germain.
Forget A/C in October but the fact is with your other requirements, you'll get it anyway. I don't understand the double beds requirement but suspect you mean two beds, each being a double if it's just two of you. That will be the killer requirement. Some of the big modern chain hotels have that, though. As for the nonsmoking, most hotels are entirely nonsmoking in Paris, but the ones that are not do tend to be the large chain business hotels, for sure. But they will have nonsmoking rooms, of course. And by law, I think they have to be a separate floor now.
Look at the Crowne Plaza at Republique, that is fairly convenient (but you aren't going to be walking to tourist attractions), lots of cafes around, and I think they do have rooms with 2 double beds (and the other things you want, of course). http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/crowneplaza/hotels/us/en/paris/pardl/hoteldetail/hotel-room-rates
The Marriott Renaissance near the Louvre might suit you and it is very central, except I don't think it has 2 double beds in a room, but am not sure. Also the Opera Concorde hotel is really nice.
The real issue is the 2 double beds at that price point, the rest isn't that hard to find. Because except for rare hotels, that would mean you'd have to book two rooms and you aren't going to be able to do that in the level hotel you want for $350 total.
Report Abuse
I would rethink a couple of your requirements.
You are VERY unlikely to need AC in Paris in Oct.
Two double beds means a deluxe room in most hotels - and when linked to the on site restaurant and room service is going to be fairly rare in your typical French hotel. You are asking for the amenities of an upscale US style hotel - but at a bargain price.
Don't misunderstand me - we expect the same things - but our budget is higher. Not that we do the George V at $900 per night - but I think what you want is more in the $500/night range. Also - prices in Paris can depend very much on what conventions/activities are in town. If you are there for the pret a porter or similar - all prices will be sky high.
I would search for the amenities you want through several of the search engines - and then contact the hotels directly to see if there are any deals to be had. But think you will probably have to compromise either on amenities or price.

Several hotels near Espirit St Germain that might work...it's a great area. Hotel Louis II, Odeon Hotel, Relais St Germain, Hotel Odeon St Sulpice....check on those.
Odeon metro/bus stop near by...great for getting around and Gerard Mulot is right there for wonderful pain au chocolat.

Hotel rates are pretty much at their peak in October in Paris, anyway, so there are not going to be any deals. There are tons of trade shows in Paris, the fashion shows aren't the only issue. IN fact, this year is the Auto Show which is just as important a trade show and doesn't happen every year (I think it is from end of Sept through mid-October). The fashion shows are the first week in October.
The Pullman hotel over in Montparnasse has rooms with two double beds (called a family room), but I didn't mention it because it wasn't super central, but it's not a bad area. That used to be the Meridien. Depends what is most important to you. http://www.pullmanhotels.com/gb/hotel-8189-pullman-paris-montparnasse/index.shtml
But the rate is around 300 euro a day, which is more like $375. They look kind of booked up in October, though, but depends on the dates.
I think the Novotel over near Les Halles may have rooms with 2 doubles, also, and that is pretty central, although some folks don't like that area as much (me one of them). I'd rather stay in the Crowne Plaza Republique myself.

Friday's Athens Banner-Herald story ("Troopers hit the road to educate motorists") about Georgia state troopers issuing warnings for violating the law related to traveling in the left lane on a four-lane divided highway highlights two problems.
First, we have too many idiotic laws in this state. Second, law-enforcement resources in Georgia are poorly allocated when investigation of serious crime takes a back seat to issuing traffic warnings.

Unanswered: fOSUserName Problem
I imported a form and table from a friend who logs users into a table to see who is using the program. However when I try to run the form as the startup form, I get an error on the strTKNum = fOSUserName command line (it highlights the fOSUserName part of the line). I made no changes from his program and it works fine in his application on the same LAN. Any suggestions?
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_Form_Open
Dim dbs As Database, rstAssoc As Recordset
Dim intcount As Integer
Dim strTKNum As String
strTKNum = fOSUserName
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rstAssoc = dbs.OpenRecordset("Associate Log", dbOpenTable)
rstAssoc!TKNumber = strTKNum
rstAssoc!EmpName = fGetFullNameOfLoggedUser
rstAssoc!DateIn = Date
rstAssoc!TimeIn = Time()
DoCmd.Close acForm, "StartLog"
DoCmd.OpenForm "Start"

I suspect your friend got this code on the net; it's been floating around for a while. It was written by Dev Ashish. strTKNum = fOSUserName is referring to a function, fOSUserName and my guess is you didn't import the module that holds the function! You can find the function here. Copy it and place it in a module in your DB.

That makes sense, I hadn't thought to look in the module section for a tie in. Thanks for the info.

Planned Parenthood- Planned Parenthood has been one of the best available resources for teenagers, or those on low-income, for years. They provide many services, from yearly exams to birth control to abortion and counseling.
- RAINN.org – RAINN stands for the "Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network". It is the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization. They have a toll-free hotline if you find yourself in need of someone to talk to – 1.800.656.HOPE
- Joyful Heart Foundation –Victims of domestic violence know what it's like to live in fear or lose themselves behind a facade. Joyful Heart, founded by Law and Order: SVU actress Mariska Hargitay, helps victims of rape and various forms of abuse.
Addiction – Addiction affects so many families and relationships and has ruined many beyond repair. These groups are well-founded and have programs to help you succeed at beating your addiction or getting support in dealing with a loved one who suffers from addiction.
- Alcoholics Anonymous
- Narcotics Anonymous
- Ala-Non
- Nar-Anon
- Gambling

- Tobacco
- Marijuana
- Prescription Drugs
Endometriosis Association – Endometriosis is a silent disease, often overlooked, and very misunderstood by most gynecologists. Most often, a sure diagnosis can only be achieved via laparoscopic surgery, which is done on an outpatient basis. Chronic pelvic pain is the most common symptom (more than just normal PMS or menstrual related cramps).
PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) Support – Like endometriosis, PCOS is a hormonal condition where a woman's hormones are out of balance (more than what is considered to be normal). Cysts develop consistently, it can be difficult to conceive, and also can be a risk factor for heart disease and diabetes.
Breast Cancer Awareness – The lifetime risk of getting breast cancer is 1 in 8 and although it's the second leading cause of cancer death for American women, it's death rate is much lower (1 in 28). Early detection is crucial to catching the cancer, treatment and survival. Self-exams can be done at home very easily and if you find something that feels abnormal, call your doctor and make an appointment. They'll do a manual exam and likely order a mammogram to make sure there's not something they missed. Sometimes there is cancer or tumors that can't be detected manually. Women, as well as men, should be on the offensive and stay aware of their bodies.
Heart Disease Awareness – Most think of heart disease as a man's problem. It's not. In fact, it's the number one killer of women in the United States, as well as the leading cause of disability among American women. Like with most things, the older you are, the more likely you are to have a problem with something. Same goes for your heart. The older a woman gets, the more likely it is she will have heart disease. This doesn't mean the rest of us should just sit it out. All women should be concerned about heart disease and take steps to prevent it by living as healthily as we can now.
Migraines – Many people are misinformed and believe that migraine is just a bad headache and all you need to do is take two Advil to get rid of it. They couldn't be further from the truth. Migraine is a neurological disease that can be disabling and difficult for non-migraineurs to understand. This website is full of information for those with and without migraine.
National Alliance on Mental Illness – Today, unfortunately, there is still a huge stigma attached to mental illness, leading some not to seek out treatment and sometimes those who do feel ashamed. NAMI and its mission is dedicated to improving the lives of those touched by mental illness, in whatever capacity that may be.
Eating Disorders – Eating disorders aren't talked about. Why should they be when the media pushes on us these nearly unreal and unachieveable "ideals" when it comes to body image? That woman at work you admire because she can eat whatever she wants and it never affects her body? Well, there's a good chance she has an eating disorder. And men are just as affected by it as women are, though you don't see it talked about. In 2005, twice as many individuals suffered from an eating disorder than they did from Alzheimer's disease (National Institute of Health). There is help out there and there is support. Eating disorders are something that can be avoided, so let's try and start.

Coventry City U18s 3-0 Spurs
It was back down to earth for our Academy side as Coventry ended a run of three straight wins on Saturday.
Coventry also went into the game in fine form and as they ended our mini-revival, stretched their winning sequence to four games.
Coach Pat Holland takes up the story: "They are top of their section and the make up of their side is second and third years, so they are strong in terms of age group.
"But we started brightly in the first 15 minutes, got behind them and created a couple of half-chances.
"Gradually their midfield started to dominate, they became more dangerous around our box and opened the scoring after about 35 minutes with a penalty.
"We went in 1-0 down and changed it at half-time to five across the middle so we could compete with their midfield but within 10 minutes we were 2-0 down, another defensive error.
"That meant we had to change again and it was a shame really having tried to do something and it happened so quickly.
"Coventry made it 3-0 about five minutes later and that was basically game, set and match but we still created, had a shot cleared off the line, another great save from the keeper.
"Full credit to the lads, they kept going to the last and I thought the scoreline was a little harsh on them."
Spurs U18s: Forecast, McKenna, Wright, Lee, Riley, Mills, Stevens (Lewis, 65), Barcham, Seanla (Dawkins, 45), O'Hara, Daniels. Unused subs: Mascarhenas, Heller, Kyriacou.

"If you're looking for something a little more decadent than the standard sugar and lemon pancakes," says Erion Karaj, executive chef of Bread Street Kitchen, "by adding a touch of fine Tawny Port – such as Graham's 10 Year Tawny – you can elevate this classic dish into something altogether more grown-up and decadent.
"By creating a simple honeycomb with a few glugs of port, the beautiful nutty flavours of a complex tawny is the perfect match with the wonderfully sweet maple syrup and fluffy pancakes." Read the recipe below.
- 112g ricotta
- 85ml milk
- 2 eggs, separated into yolks and whites
- 70g plain flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ pinch of salt
- 30cl (3/4 glugs) Graham's 10 Year Old Tawny Port
- 195g sugar
- 48g honey
- 75g liquid glucose
- 36g water
- 10g bicarbonate of soda
- 1 block of butter
- Maple syrup (to serve)
- Glass of Graham's 10 Year Old Tawny Port (to serve)
The pancakes:
1. Mix the ricotta, milk and egg yolks together.
2. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients – flour, baking powder and salt.
3. Slowly add the wet mix into the dry until just combined.
4. Whisk egg whites to stiff peaks and then fold into the batter mixture in two batches.
5. Heat a frying pan to medium and melt some butter until it gently foams.
6. Add pancake batter in rounds and cook on both sides for 2-3 minutes.
The honeycomb:
1. Boil the sugar, honey, glucose and water together until you make golden caramel.
2. Add the Graham's 10 Year Tawny Port toward the end of the boil - so as to retain the complex nutty flavours, creating a rich and deep amber colour.
3. Turn off the heat, add the bicarb and stand back as the mixture foams.
4. Pour out onto a lined baking tray and allow to cool.
5. Once honeycomb is cooled, break into small bits.
6. Add the honeycomb to the block of butter and pulse in a food processor until combined.
7. Roll the honeycomb butter into a log, cover with clingfilm and chill in the fridge until needed.
8. To serve, allow two pancakes per person, topped with a disc of honeycomb butter on each and drizzled with maple syrup.

Going Native
3 comments:
My knee-jerk reaction to Pechorin's description of himself as resembling a "Kabardian more than many a Kabardian himself" because he can ride like them and wear their clothing is that it reminds me of white people playing "Cowboys and Indians" and adopting Native American symbols and garb while completely disregarding the heritage of the people whose culture they're commodifying. Pechorin may ride like a Kabardian but I don't remember him doing anything that would indicate he respected the native people around him as people. I know he made disparaging remarks about Bela's father and his religion, but I can't really remember what other viewpoints he expressed.ReplyDeleteReplies
I definitely agree with Shannon and how she characterized Pechorin. He seems to be a bored aristocrat looking to find some purpose in life. It would be very different if he came with nothing but an idealistic vision, and tried to understand and to live the life of a true Circassian, Ossetian, or a Chechen; but that would be, probably, a bit too inconvenient for a character such as himself.Delete
I think Shannon is right--Pechroin is definitely guilty of convenient cultural appropriation. He is essentially engaging in cultural tourism as an attempt to escape his own bored existence. It seems he equates cultural others with some form of excitement or deeper meaning. I wonder how much he really merges his identity with the "natives" if he seems capable of simply buying himself out of nearly any situation, either with actual money or a vaguer sense of social capital.ReplyDelete

@HodgkinsonJohn Says something about how shit 2017 is that deliberately miss timed tackles are that inspiring.
To make one of the most inventive and unnerving horror films in recent memory, writer-director Robert Eggers conducted extensive research into folktales from the witch-hunt era of 17th century New England. So the film feels like a classic from the beginning, echoing iconic fairy tales and historical attitudes as it works its way under the skin to thoroughly freak out the audience.
It's set in 1630s Massachusetts, where a family has a clash with religious leaders and is cast out of the settlement. William and Katherine (Ralph Ineson and Kate Dickie) take their children out into the countryside, moving into a farm on the edge of a deep woods. As Katherine prepares to give birth to a fifth child, teen daughter Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy) helps care for her preteen brother Caleb (Harvey Scrimshaw) and the overactive twins Mercy and Jonas (Ellie Grainger and Lucas Dawson). And when the newborn infant goes missing, everyone becomes convinced that there's an evil witch living in the forest. Or perhaps one of the family members has made a pact with the devil.
By using real folktales as a basis for his screenplay, Eggers has made a film that feels like the grandfather of every exorcism and cabin-in-the-woods movie ever made. The settings and imagery are oppressively scary, as Eggers recreates the period with a sharp attention to detail, including the language, sets and costumes. And the musical score creates a nerve-rattling atmosphere, as this primal family faces what they're convinced is a spiritual threat. Into this, the actors add raw emotion that's startlingly visceral. The entire cast is excellent, with each character spiralling through a series of insane situations. And Taylor-Joy anchors the film beautifully in a star-making performance as a young woman desperately clinging to her sanity as superstition and paranoia swirl around her.

Mowgli is a human boy known as a man-cub to his peers, among which are an array of jungle beasts. Left in the jungle as a baby, he was taken in by a family of wolves who raised him as their own. However, the older he grows, the more of a threat he becomes to a formidable villain named Shere Khan; a Bengal tiger with a deep fear of fire and loathing of man. Led by an impatient black panther named Bagheera, he is sent away from his jungle home to the safety of a nearby man village, though the journey becomes less straight-forward the further they stray. Mowgli befriends a fun-loving bear named Baloo, but finds Khan is not the only jungle menace as he is set upon by a gang of monkeys led by the orangutan King Louie, and hypnotised by a vicious snake named Kaa.

However, it isn't long before their crops begin to weaken and the farm animals develop disturbing and unnatural behaviours. Things take a horrific turn when the couple's young baby disappears without a trace while daughter Thomasin was playing with him. She's accused of dabbling in witchcraft by her own family, though she takes it upon herself to uncover the dark magic that surrounds them and retrieve her sibling. Meanwhile, her brother is suffering under demonic possession. Can this family unite to fight against this plague of evil? Or will it ultimately draw them apart?

Peter Quill runs into some trouble when he discovers an unusual looking orb that happens to be hunted by the merciless admiral Ronan and his army of miscreants. He is an Earthling; an unusual race within his neighbourhood in which he grew up after being removed for his home planet as a child. Naming himself the Star-Lord, he likes to think he's one heck of a superhero - but he's about to meet his match (or should we say 'matches'?). After being arrested by Ronan's people, he is greeted by four other alien outlaws. First there is the enormous Drax the Destroyer who is determined to use his supernatural strength to avenge his murdered family; then there's cyborg Gamora, the daughter of Thanos (an even bigger villain in this story); Rocket, a psychotic gun-toting raccoon; and half-man half-tree Groot. They may be distrustful of each other, but they've got to stick together if they want to save the universe from certain annihilation.
Since when did superhero films have to be serious? Marvel apply comedy to comics with 'Guardians Of The Galaxy', which is based on the original comics by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. The movie has been directed by James Gunn ('Super', 'Slither', 'PG Porn') and co-written by Nicole Perlman and is due for UK release on July 31st 2014.
Peter Quill is a fearless Earthling pilot who rather proudly proclaims himself to be an outlaw, going by the nickname Star-Lord. As a child, he was taken from his home planet and forced to live around various alien races, but even he is in for a surprise when he is captured by merciless hunters led by the evil admiral Ronan after he tries to make off with an extraordinary orb. It is during his imprisonment that he meets four other intrepid outlaws. There's Drax the Destroyer, a man of muscle hellbent on avenging the tragic murders of his family; Gamora, a green-skinned cyborg who is the rebellious daughter of Ronan's boss Thanos; Rocket, a genetically modified raccoon with incredible firearm dexterity; and Groot, a half-man half-tree creature who knows little about the technological world. Despite their reluctance, the five must join together to save the universe from Thanos' dastardly plans.

Peter Quill is a tenacious pilot who was taken away from his home planet Earth as a child to grow up around alien races. Arrogantly nicknaming himself Star-Lord, he finds himself captured by the evil admiral Ronan's ruthless hunters during the attempted theft of a powerful orb. On his arrest, he meets four other criminal eccentrics: muscle man Drax the Destroyer, who is searching for vengeance after the brutal death of his family; the rebellious cyborg Gamora, whose father is Ronan's boss Thanos; a weapon toting, genetically modified racoon named Rocket with better gun skills than most humans; and, the latter's accomplice, tree man Groot. Soon, the group decide to band together in order to protect their galaxy after discovering what the orb is really about to be used for.

When Arbor is expelled from school for starting a fight while trying to defend Swifty against bullies, he finds himself with nothing to do and no purpose. He takes Swifty out of school in a bid to start making money and they meet an unprincipled scrapdealer named Kitten, who puts them to work uncovering scrap metal and cables to sell on for profit. However, friendships are tested when Arbor finds himself getting increasingly more left out of the business, while his parents are at odds with what to do about their son's latest antics.

Pip is a young orphan who has a chance meeting with a frightening stranger while visiting the graves of his parents; a meeting which was to be the catalyst a series of events that would shape his future. Not long after this experience, an unhinged, jilted spinster called Miss Havisham asks Uncle Pumblechook (the uncle of Pip's brother-in-law with whom he lives) to find a young boy to provide company for her adopted daughter Estella. When Pip is chosen, he becomes a regular visitor of Miss Havisham who manipulates him into falling for the pretty but cold-hearted Estella as he grows older. When he becomes a blacksmith's apprentice at his brother-in-law's shop, he is approached by a lawyer who informs him that he has been left a large sum of money by a mysterious benefactor and must journey to London to become a gentleman. Little does he know of the surprises that lay in store for him as he discovers that he has so many secrets to uncover.
This seminal coming-of-age story serves as one of the most influential pieces of English literature in history. Originally written by one of the greatest novelists of the 19th century Charles Dickens, 'Great Expectations' has been adapted to screen by director Mike Newell ('Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', 'Four Weddings and a Funeral') and screenwriter David Nicholls ('One Day', 'Starter for 10').
