As a student at St. Mark's High School in Milltown years ago, Allison Dunbar really stood out to her drama teacher David Patch.
Not only was she the most determined student in her class, she was one of the most focused students he's ever had. Over the years, Patch never forgot Dunbar, now in her 30s, remembering her as particularly practical, talented and unselfish.
"She was not the starry-eyed, I'm-going-to-be-an-actress kind of person," says Patch, who still teaches fine and performing arts at the school. "She knew about showing up at 6 a.m. for an audition and getting pictures and résumés done. She was a real go-getter and a great kid."
All of those traits have worked in her favor over the years and led to perhaps her biggest break in Hollywood yet recently earning a spot among the legendary improv troupe The Groundlings' main company after nearly three years through its grueling audition process. Her first show as one of the 29 main cast members will be next month in Los Angeles.
Before The Groundlings, the Arden native has had regular roles on doomed shows like Comedy Central's "Strip Mall" and AMC's "FilmFakers." Her highest profile role, however, came in the four episodes of "The Sopranos" where she played Nicole Lupertazzi, wife of "Little Carmine" Lupertazzi Jr.
Now, after nearly two decades of auditions and the highs and lows that come with it, Dunbar is now where she wants to be with The Groundlings – the same comedy troupe she would go to see on her own in the late '90s when she first moved to Los Angeles.
Like The Second City in Chicago, The Groundlings is a veteran troupe that has spawned plenty of stars: Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, Jimmy Fallon, Conan O'Brien, Paul Reubens and Lisa Kudrow, to name a few. Nearly all the stars of last year's hit comedy "Bridesmaids" were Groundlings alumni.
"This is really my biggest accomplishment – what I'm most proud of and what I'm the most passionate about," says Dunbar, who lives in Manhattan Beach, Calif., with her rescue dog Ernie. "The Groundlings are part of the history of American comedy, and it's a really great honor. I'm still pinching myself."
Dunbar's mother Wendy Barron, recently retired from her job as a dean at Villanova University School of Law and still living in Arden, says acting was in her daughter's blood from the beginning, even performing as a child in open-air productions in Arden.
After graduating from St. Mark's, Dunbar's next stop was always going to be New York City for college. She was accepted to several schools across the country, but only one – Fordham University at Lincoln Center – was in New York and that's where she went, graduating magna cum laude with degrees in both theater and psychology.
Dunbar says Patch had encouraged her to chase her dreams in New York. When told of this, Patch laughs. Dunbar had so much resolve that he doubts he gave her too much of a push. "I might have just said, 'OK, try it,' and that was it," he says.
After graduation, she eventually moved to Los Angeles and began building her résumé with appearances on shows like "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "Bones," "Cold Case" and "Wings" and a few small film roles. In 1998 she met and married NHL defenseman Sean O'Donnell, who was playing for the Los Angeles Kings at the time. They divorced in 2004.
It was also there that she landed her role on "The Sopranos," a show she had not seen before her audition. She was on four episodes across the final two seasons of the critically acclaimed show, which won 18 Emmys during its run. Knowing little about the program, she was not intimidated during her audition like some of the other women trying for the role, she says.
Dunbar soon found herself on the set surrounded by Tony Soprano and his mobbed-up goons.
"The guys on the show were just like their characters. I remember getting on set for the first time, and they were all mobster-ish to me saying, 'How you doing honey? You want me to go get you an espresso? Are you comfortable?' It was really fun," says Dunbar, who landed spreads in Maxim and FHM magazines thanks to her "Sopranos" turn.
Dunbar says her looks – she's a striking blonde who also has modeled and still dances sometimes with a burlesque troupe – pigeonholed her into dramatic roles.
Now, with a few more years in the rear-view, she says she is being more accepted as a comedic force.
"In my 20s, 75 percent of the jobs I took I was wearing a bikini eventually in a scene," says Dunbar, who worked as a cabana girl in Dewey Beach during summers in high school. "Now I'm more at an age where this town is looking at me as a comedic actress because comedy historically doesn't accept cute chicks."
Barron isn't surprised that her daughter has landed in comedy. After all, she and her father, Tim Barron, a former deputy attorney general for Delaware, were always crack-ups.
"She was always making people laugh," Barron says. "When some of her old high school teachers read this, they will think, 'That doesn't surprise me in the least.'"
Now that she's making a stable living with laughs, Patch wishes her well from across the country.
And even though it has been years since Dunbar was in Patch's class at St. Mark's, he does remember one thing she said very vividly: "She told me that when she gets famous and makes all her money, she was going to give it all to the St. Mark's drama department and the ASPCA."
"I'm waiting," Patch jokes. "I'm waiting."
When told of Patch's keen memory, Dunbar laughs and admits that her youthful proclamation is something that she would have said.
"That's so cute. Mr. Patch was the first person to put me up there in the spotlight, giving me my first leading role when I was a sophomore," she says.
And what about that donation?
As a working comedic actress, it's hard to tell if her response was deadpan or from the heart: "I'm sure I was expressing to him my gratitude and if I ever make that money, which I'm working on, I will keep my word for sure."

"I guess I was, and it feels like yesterday," said Caroline pouring herself a cup of coffee.
"So how are you and Will fairing over at the studio?"
"Well, you know Dad. He has a charming way of stressing me out."
"I'm really sorry about that hysterical call before you left the city, I guess I kind of lost it huh?"
"No, I think I needed it. It snapped me out of the state of denial I was in. I think I thought if I ignored it, it would go away, but you were right. He's getting noticeably worse. I called Dr. Roberts last week. He said Dad's tremors are happening more often than he's letting on, of course. He suggested I start looking for someone to help him around the house."
"Hmm. What do you think about that? I can imagine what Uncle Will will think."
"Yeah, he'll hate it. But I'm sure not going to hang around to take care of him, and I can't have him burdening you guys."
"Oh, he's not a burden. It's just been a little tough lately, that's all. Hey, did you ever take that Asian cooking class you were talking about? I have all the makings for these fantastic spring rolls. Do you mind? I'm a bit behind schedule?" Caroline pulled a plate of shredded vegetables and a stack of wonton wrappers from the refrigerator and set them in from of her cousin.
"Sure. I'll give it a try. I never told you what happened in that class. I went to a few, but the whole group, except the teacher, were married couples and I felt out of place."
"Was the teacher cute?"
"He kept hitting on me."
"Well nothing! He was older," Abby paused, "and I'm not looking."
"What do you mean you're not looking?"

Well, you really can't trust anyone. Just a lesson I learned reading Fiona Barton's debut novel The Widow which had four very different narrators, and I'm over here like, who do I trust?
Jean Taylor's husband was accused of abducting a child but never convicted. Jean stood by her man despite a lot of negative press. Now that he's dead, Jean must decide if she wants to tell her story. Told mostly through the eyes of Jean, but also by the police officer in charge, the mother of the victim, and the journalist who showed up at her doorstep to get the untold story, Barton creates a very interesting and eerie story that should not be compared to recently popular thrillers.
Did you ever watch the TV show Motive? It shows the audience who committed the murder right at the beginning, and then through the entire episode you piece together the motive, and it's always surprising. That's a good example of the format of this novel.

Rapid Deconvolution of Low-Resolution Time-of-Flight Data using Bayesian Inference
2019-04-12T14:52:19Z (GMT) by
The deconvolution of low-resolution time-of-flight data has numerous advantages including the ability to extract additional information from the experimental data. We augment the well-known Lucy-Richardson deconvolution algorithm by various Bayesian prior distributions and show that a prior of second-differences of the signal outperforms the standard Lucy-Richardson algorithm by accelerating the rate of convergence by a factor of two and preserving the peak amplitude ratios of a larger fraction of the total peaks. A stopping criterion and boosting mechanism is implemented to ensure that these methods converge to the same final entropy and that local minima are avoided. Improvement by a factor of two in mass resolution of the signal allowed more accurate quantification of the spectra. The general method is demonstrated in this paper by the deconvolution of fragmentation pathway peaks of the benzyltriphenylphosphonium thermometer ion following femtosecond ultraviolet laser desorption.

Progress Picture of Little Wings
Well, here it is as of today - I have been working on this for about a week now, and it has been a quick stitch so far. I have had this chart since it came out in 1989, so I am happy that I finally got around to doing it! I am stitching this on Silkweaver Meadow Mist Cashel, a new color for 2005 that came in my Santa Pack... I don't think they have posted this color to their website quite yet, and it is from their Classics category.
Silkweaver sent out its message today that there were new fabrics in their Odds 'n Ends area, so I went right over - seems there is someone who scoops up all of the hand-dyed as soon as the email goes out - I was there within 5 minutes, and as usual, all were gone - except I did manage to get a 12" x 18" piece of Sparkling Sundown on 32 ct linen. I think the vulture just had not clicked that far down the list, because all else was already gone! Geez! I appreciate, though, that I was able to get at least this one little token.
Stitched on today: Little Wings

| 10.5°C Dublin
The Taoiseach's been saying "Yes" a lot recently in the name of marriage equality, then suddenly on Pat Kenny's show yesterday morning, he not only said "No", but "Absolutely Not".
Pat had asked him if he would consider a tilt at the presidency, and instead of leaving the door swinging coyly ajar as he's done in the past, Enda slammed it shut.
Later in the day, while canvassing in Kilkenny with Fine Gael's by-election candidate David Fitzgerald, one man greeted the Taoiseach with a handshake. "I nearly called you Mister President," he told Enda.
But he hadn't experienced a Road to Damascus conversion on the road to the Marble City.
The answer was still a resounding "No".
"I've given 40 years to politics and there are some things I want to do when I leave. So I want to win the next election, serve a full term and then say 'the country's now in good shape', and hand it onto the next generation," he said.
"For me, Áras an Uachtaráin is a place to visit, but not to stay."
Well, that's that, it seems. But what isn't so clear-cut is the date of that next election. Enda was getting in a bit of practice in Kilkenny, knocking on doors of houses around Dominic Street, close to the city centre, rather than pounding the shopping areas, and he was bustling at his usual high speed up and down garden paths. "It's training for the election in the dark days of February," he blithely remarked, then grinned as those around him fell off the path in shock.
"Or the end of March or April," he added cheekily, as he messed about with a hurley and sliotar.
He was in a cheerful mood. His party's candidate, former Kilkenny mayor and current councillor, is in the hunt to take Phil Hogan's seat in what will most likely be a close dogfight with Fianna Fáil's Bobby Aylward, with Sinn Féin's Kathleen Funchion flourishing in the Carlow end.
Although many of the houses along busy Stephen Street were empty - "they're at the shops" one of the canvassers surmised - the Taoiseach and David found a positive response when doors were opened. David introduced him to Johnny Barry, who does a late-night music show on KCLR. "Johnny puts the women of Kilkenny to bed," joked David.
Immediately, Johnny invited them inside to inspect his enormous collection of CDs.
Enda began rummaging. "Here's a good one for politicians," he announced, holding up one titled 'Waltzing on Borrowed Time'. Then he found another. "And here's one for the referendum, 'The Irish Wedding Songs album'".
Inevitably, the Taoiseach was doing a spot of double-jobbing on the canvass, promoting both David and a 'Yes' vote.
One woman admitted she didn't realise a by-election was included in next week's poll. "There'll be three ballot papers," Enda explained, "one for the presidential candidate age, one for the by-election where we hope you'll vote for our candidate, and a third for the Marriage Equality Referendum, where we hope you'll vote 'Yes'."
At one house, local businesswoman Jennifer Quinn told the pair that her family were "big Fianna Fáil people, but we're going to give you our vote, because I don't think you're doing a bad job," she told them.
At another house, the Taoiseach was subjected to a bit of a slagging from engineer Jack Foley and his son Michael, who is a special needs teacher in a local school. Michael explained how the school urgently required funding for renovations.
But his dad had a question of his own. "When are you going on Vincent Browne?" he asked Enda, who looked startled at the curveball.
David promptly came to the rescue. "I'm on the show tonight, so you can tune in," he told Jack.
Of course, it wasn't all plain sailing - as the canvass finished, two women with hastily scrawled signs ran towards him. "You've some cheek. Toddle along Enda. You're brainwashing our children," they shouted for a couple of minutes.
The Taoiseach strolled on. Was he ruffled?
No ... Absolutely Not.

An Anthology on Prayer: Part One
Researchers have concluded that living in an attitude of prayerfulness can improve your health and help you live longer, and there's evidence from the Harvard prayer project that suggests being prayed for by others can improve your chances of recovery from serious illness.
Biblical Examples of Answered Prayer
God is looking for a people with humility, who will pray and who want to seek his face. 'Humble prayer that abandons disobedience …triggers divine love' ( Alexander N). Humility is such a small price to pay to have the eyes and ears of the lord open and attentive to our prayers

I got one of these crazy Asian Cult Cinema Extreme Horror Box Sets by Synapse a few years ago, and two of the films were amazing and the other two were pretty z-grade softcore/gorefilm TRASH. Here's what I'm talking about: http://www.amazon.com/Asian-Cult-Ci...ef=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1248393836&sr=1-1 And I really really got into the nasty, gritty, feel of organ. It starts off a little confusing, but it evens out and becomes a really disturbing film, which i liked. Anyoe else around here have this box set??? Evil Dead trap was highly enjoyable aswell as Organ, and then i got to Entrails of a Virgin and Entrails of a Beautiful Woman and I was pretty much like.....SIGH. Why this set is so uneven is beyond me but at least their rare :-D.

As summer begins to wane and the election season begins, Eye readers have chosen who they would like to be the next mayor of Albuquerque. In our unscientific poll, Richard "RJ" Berry took the honors with a solid 45% of the vote. The Almighty Alcalde came in 2nd at 28% edging out Richard Romero by 1 point at 27% (view it here).
Granted the Eye Poll is unscientific and our readers tend to be of the center-right variety, but these numbers have to be a concern for the Chavez campaign. After all, Republicans - particularly Northeast Heights Republicans - have been largely responsible for keeping Marty in the Alcalde's chair.
If Marty's numbers slip with Republican voters and Richard Romero mounts a credible challenge, it's pretty easy to see the mayor held below the magic runoff line. Should Marty be held below 40%, Berry could very well end up the new mayor. Of course Berry needs to run a solid campaign of his own, otherwise the beneficiary of a Chavez 40% failure would be Richard Romero.
In either case, if Chavez is kept below 40% the likely beneficiary would be the other guy that's left standing for the runoff. They would likely receive all of the anti-Marty / Marty-fatigue vote making them the new occupant of the Alcalde's chair.
This week we're looking at another race where the two Ds could split to put an R in office. That of course is the District 5 race where incumbent (and former mayoral candidate, then out of politics, then back in the council race) Michael Cadigan is trying to defend his seat against two opponents - Republican Dan Lewis and Democrat Jeremy Toulouse.
This race is interesting because the Republican is on the public dole (and you know how we hate public financing) while the two Democrats are earning their way with voluntary donations from contributors. We have a regulator, a candidate already feeding from the public trough, and a third candidate that probably can't raise enough money to make a serious challenge (unless there are enough District 5 voters on Facebook and MySpace where we're all cooler 'cause we're on line).
This is an interesting race folks and don't be surprised if there are a few surprises before the final votes are tallied in October. Don't forget to vote!
The Piercing Truth
This is right from the dictionary and seems to describe Albuquerque, Berry and Schultz. Fascism (f ash ,izem) noun An authoritarian right wing system of government and/or social organization. (in general use) extreme right wing, authoritarian, chauvinistic and/or intolerant views or practices. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one group over another, national, ethnic, especially social strata or monetarily; a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach.

Stepping into moccasins, she grabbed a flashlight, then strode out of her house.Before getting in the drinking water, appear at the sample of the current. If you're diving in unfamiliar waters, be certain to inquire an experienced diver or local fisherman who is acquainted with the region.OK, now we can do our verify, but when should we do it? Some say at the beginning of our dive and some say at the finish of our dive, I say it does not make a difference, simply because. If you use this formula (@sea level) you can effortlessly calculate the excess weight of air in your cylinder.If you would rather play under the drinking water then in it, you could also do some scuba diving singapore. Haigh Quarry phone calls by itself "the Caribbean of the Midwest." Whilst it may appear odd to be performing scuba diving singapore in Illinois, it is for genuine.

Buster Posey
With a limited number of players to choose from, and millions (and millions) of fans doing some kind of choosing, inevitably the same player will be chosen by fans who are well informed and careful, and also by fans who are ill-informed and careless. In 2019 Buster Posey will be one of the players with plenty of choosers from both camps.
Among those who know just a little, Posey is a famous name, well regarded for being among the top offensive catchers over the last decade at a position where offense can be terribly scare, a career .306 hitter, former batting champion, and durable (averaging 461 at-bats per year when the general population bearing the tools of ignorance has been hovering usually around 400 a year). Catchers of course take off at least one game per week for rest, many are platooned, all are susceptible to star pitchers' preferences influencing the managers' decisions (meaning that the simple fact of not being the favorite battery mate of today's starting pitcher may put an otherwise starting catcher onto the bench that day) and all are in the most injury-prone profession on the field, a context and population that help to make Posey a long-time standout.
Posey will be taken by many who still believe that he is obviously the best catcher, in a class by himself, and an asset that can lock in a year-long advantage against every other owner. They are all quite mistaken, of course. Posey is a faded ex-star with high mileage. He is nonetheless at the upper end of the spectrum for catchers, or at least has a chance as good as another catcher to be valuable in 2019.
Among those who keep more current, observe more, study more, know more, and reflect more, there will be serious concern in 2019 about Posey's recent and noticeable decline. His worst-ever season featured a hip injury that first impaired him and then took him out fully for season-ending surgery, a labrum cleanup. (The cognoscenti will also remember that Alex Rodriguez had "successful" hip labrum surgery in 2012 and then hit only .236 the next three seasons although he did manage a 33-homer year). Some of those who know more will simply think of Posey as he was in his "nightmarish" 2018 season, a .284 hitter with a favorable spot in the lineup that helps him see some good hitters' pitches and helps create plenty of RBI opportunity, qualities that can be said of only one or two other catchers, if that many. If he ends up going cheap/late, you could do a lot worse.

Sergio Garcia is the winner of the Andalucia Valderrama Masters 2017which was held very locally to Marbella Club Hills.
From his early age, Garcia was seen as a supremely talented player; joyful and confident, he often won as a young golfer and it portended well for his future. They were saying that he was too good not to be the winner.
But when Garcia lost for the first time, as one inevitably does in professional golf (or any sport!) his frustration started building up. For over the next two decades he became a bundle of negativity, always blaming outside circumstances for his defeats.
For a very long time, he suppressed the idea that golf playing requires not only talent and practice but most of all, mental strength. Until he got to the point when he started wondering if he was really as good as he originally thought.
The fact of the matter is that very few players are perfect mentally. However, Garcia as a golfer was seriously flawed.
In many ways, he resembled the tennis player John McEnroe who, although won plenty of major titles when he was young, had no mechanism for working through challenges when he began to lose with greater frequency. He won seven Grand Slam titles in a six-year period, but none after that.
Joh McEnroe during one of his games
In retrospect, young Garcia used to overwhelm his competitors with talent and by the fact that he was just generally fitting in so well. Quite an unusual trait for a young, and fairly inexperienced compared to the rest, player. However, being thrown in with older peers (like Tiger Woods, for instance!) who were more experienced, more competitive, and often less merciful required a "little" stronger and more mature mind. For the first eight years of Garcia's career, the harder he tried to beat Woods, the more convincingly and dishearteningly he lost.
Before the Masters last year in Marbella, Garcia had only won twice on the PGA Tour since his victory at the 2008 Players. Four or five years ago, he made a very honest confession that he didn't have the right stuff to win the major anymore.
"Never mind that he had won nine times on the PGA Tour and 12 times on the European Tour. Never mind that he was the beating heart of the European Ryder Cup teams that kept whipping up on the U.S.", says Dave Kindred of the Golf World magazine.
After practicing what Garcia learnt, he started feeling full of energy, and actually started enjoying practicing more than ever. He set himself new goals and started looking forward to performing again at the top level. The right people helped him put things in the right place. As he commented himself: "I know more about myself and feel able to answer my own questions."
All is well that ends well!

The location of our homes is a short drive from the golf setting where the Golf Masters 2017and the great Garcia's victory took place.
Feel free to try this Golf psychology testthat will show you the level of natural talent, unrealized potential and mental toughness, you have to help you achieve success in golf.
So, what exactly has changed since?
The media speculates that it's the involvement of Angela Atkins who he started dating back in 2015. Many believe that she helped him change his attitude toward his game. She comes from a family of professional and highly competitive players:
her father was an American football player and her grandfather was a legendary high school football coach.
For the first time, Garcia reached out to professionals who could help him process the challenge in a much more constructive way.
And here is a little psychology lesson we can learn from him.
The Stanford psychology professor, Carol Dweck, explains that there is something called a "fixed mindset" and "growth mindset". Depending on which mindset we have, we confront challenge in a different way.
By Dwecks's definition, if you win a race, it's simply because you're faster; this is the fixed mindset, seeing ability as something largely predetermined. A growth mindset accepts that skills can be learned and refined over time – if you lose a race you resolve to do better next time by working harder.

When a friend called to say that her had found a bunch of sheepshead mushrooms, and wanted to know if I wanted some to fry up, you can bet I pounced on that one.
The trouble was…I had no idea what a sheepshead mushroom even was. How do you prepare them? My friend gave me her recipe. Now that was good!
What is a Sheepshead Mushroom
Whether you call them Ramshead, Sheepshead, Maitake, or Hen of the Woods, it all means the same thing: one awesome mushroom. The scientific name is Grifola frondosa that, to me, kind of sounds like a spell from Harry Potter, don't you think?
Their big season is September and October, usually beginning around the second week of September. Unlike the tricky little morel mushrooms, you can actually find the Hen-of-the-woods a whole lot easier!
Growing in a clump as they do, you can see everything growing off of the base. Most of the mushrooms that will be found this season will be between 2″ and 3″ wide. Unbelievably, there are people who have found massive two to three foot IN DIAMETER mushrooms! They can weigh as much as twenty pounds. Can you imagine? According to American Mushrooms, there have been Ramshead mushrooms weighing in at fifty pounds. Yowza.
How did the sheepshead mushroom get its name? When you view them from the top, if you tilt your head and squint your eyes, they sort of look like a sheep's head. Kidding aside, they do actually resemble a sheep's head. As for the other names, like hen-of-the-woods, I'm going to guess it is because they are more common.
There's plenty of books on the subject–just look at the titles below (affiliate links, I earn a small kickback if you make a purchase–see how I support local using wishlists here).
Where Do You Find Ramshead Mushrooms?
These tasty mushrooms grow on the ground near the base of oak trees. They do have a love for the biggest of the oak trees. You know the type of tree I'm talking about too, the mammoth granddaddy of the woods, the kind that seem to reach up beyond everything else–and have a trunk to match.
Although the ground area is their favorite home, it isn't improbable to find them up a few feet on the tree. Sometimes, you can even find them on stumps or fallen trees. The north side seems to be their favorite but, again, that's not an exact science.
Year after year, you can find them in the same places. American Mushrooms shared that they have gathered 100 pounds from one oak tree in a single season. Would that be fun or what? I'm sure our boys would love to experience more than just hunting for mushrooms–we don't always have the best luck looking for morels.
Fast growing, Maitake mushrooms love a little rain, and aren't so picky about temperature like the snobby morels. My friend shared that they are grow so fast you can check a day or so after it rains and find them.
Preparing Ramshead Mushrooms
As they say, "When in doubt, throw it out!" I won't be responsible for your bad judgement. Mushroom collecting is best done with someone who is already "in the know" as they say. When you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you've got the right kind, you'll want to use this recipe!
I admit, I am not the world's biggest fan of mushrooms. It's a texture thing. If they are small and mostly hidden, fine, but big hunks aren't weren't my style–until now.
This recipe for Fried Sheepshead Mushrooms is so good! The breading fries up crisp and golden. If I'm honest here, it was more like cauliflower in texture, and I sure do love cauliflower! I think you will, too.
Fried Sheepshead Mushrooms Recipe
From a friend.
A wonderful, easy way to prepare Sheepshead/Ramshead/Maitake,Hen of the Woods Mushrooms!
- 1/3 Cup to 1/2 Cup Milk
- 1/2 Cup Flour
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Seasoned Bread Crumbs
- Vegetable Oil, for Frying
- Combine Milk, Flour, Eggs, and Seasoned Bread Crumbs.
- Add more Milk if needed to make the batter the right consistency. You don't want it too thick or too thin.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high.
- Fry Sheepshead Mushrooms until golden brown.
- Serve warm.

TEDDY's RATING:
I always like to try out small, family-owned, hometown restaurants and not always patronize the big chains. Scampi's Italian Eatery is a small, hometown restaurant near where I live. So, we like to go there every so often for Italian food.
I've read some very mixed reviews online about Scampi's. Some people absolutely love the place, others have rated it only one star because of the service. We had a nice time when we went. The service was good, although we were there early on a Sunday evening and there were no other customers. Other reviewers have stated that they were turned away at the door, even though they arrived well before the 10pm posted closing time.
Scampi's has a very extensive menu. They have everything: pizzas, calzones, all types of pastas and sauces, hot and cold sandwiches, salads, soups, chicken, veal and seafood. The menu is almost too large. But it is all freshly cooked to order.
I had the Chicken Marsala. The sauce was very light in both flavor and consistency. The portions are quite large. I had enough leftover for at least one more meal. The small calzone is a very good size as well. Other members of our party had lasagna and spaghetti with sausage. The lasagna was very good, but the sausage was rather bland. Dinners come with a side salad and garlic knots. We were too full to enjoy dessert, but they do offer tiramisu, bread pudding and cheesecake.
Scampi's does have a web address. The site is not really up and running yet, but you can access their menu on it.

Harmanpreet struck a breezy 26-ball 56 for Sydney Thunder Women while Smriti Mandhana top-scored for her side Hobart Hurricanes Women with a 41-ball 69.
India T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur and her deputy Smriti Mandhana hit blistering half-centuries, helping their respective sides to emphatic victories in the Women's Big Bash League here on Sunday.
Harmanpreet struck a breezy 26-ball 56 to help Sydney Thunder Women pile on 192 for 4 from 20 overs against Brisbane Heat Women after electing to bat first.
Sydney Thunders then bowled Brisbane Heat out for 164 in 18.5 overs to register a 28-run win at the North Sydney Oval ground.
Harmanpreet, who was recently involved in a controversy surrounding the dropping of veteran India team-mate Mithali Raj in the semifinal of the World T20, hit six fours and three sixes in her hurricane innings. She was the top-scorer of her side.
Batting at number three, Harmanpreet had two crucial partnerships, first of 41 runs for the third wicket with Naomi Stalenberg (10) and the second of 53 runs for the fourth wicket with captain Alex Blackwell (33 not out).
Mandhana also top-scored for her side Hobart Hurricanes Women with a 41-ball 69 to help her side post 196 for 6 after batting first against Melbourne Stars Women at West Park Oval, Burnie.
Her innings was not as quick as that of Harmanpreet but she hit 13 fours and dealt mostly in boundaries.
Hobart Hurricanes later bowled Melbourne Stars for 124 in 16.5 overs to record a 72-run victory.

There is no doubt that operating and managing a business has multiple inherent and imminent risks. For instance, you might have your employees injured in cases of an accident in the workplace or in your business. There are other instances where you might be sued by a client who feels that you have bleached and violated the contract. You are entitled to insure your business or rather acquire a business insurance policy where you need to keep your business safe. This article identifies some of the reasons why it's important to get a business insurance coverage.
To begin with, the law requires that you get your business insured especially where you have employees working for you. Read more about Business Insurance from auto body repair shop insurance. Different states have their different business insurance terms and conditions as there are multiple business insurance types that you can settle for. Failure to insure your business, you will be breaking the law and this has severe consequences.
The second reason why you should ensure to have a business insurance policy is to prepare in case you get sued. There are instances where a client might issue you and where you don't have a business insurance, your business is prone to experience instability. You should never gamble when it comes to lawsuits as there is so much to lose even if it's only the defense costs. However, where you are insured, the liability is always dispensed.
A business insurance coverage helps guarantee the future functionality and wellbeing of your business. There are so many reasons why you might be threatened and forced out of business. Take for instance where there is a natural disaster like an earthquake and your business gets affected, you might fail to revive your business more so where you have limited finances. It is where your business is insured that you receive an indisputable assurance that your business will always remain functional and operational even where you face natural catastrophes.
There are so many clients who will always examine whether you have an insurance coverage before hiring your services or even buying from you. To learn more about Business Insurance, visit tavern insurance. For example, when availing automobile repair services, you should always consider having an auto body and auto repair insurance coverage. Therefore, having your business insured makes your business credible. Majority of clients are afraid of gambling and they need to make sure that your business is safe thus guaranteeing their safety.
The last but not the least, it's a fundamental way of protecting your employees. In a business, employees are the primary and the moist integral asset and there is need for every businessperson to capitalize on taking care of these employees. It is where you are insured that you get to keep your employees interests intact even when there is an accident.

State care provides good care for young people outside their home by other individuals, other than their adoptive or biological parents or legal guardians (Simon Newton Dexter North, 2001). All young people who get detached from their biological or adoptive parents, and those removed from other legal guardians, get placed in state care in a range of settings. They may be put under the care of relatives other than members of the family who may be involved in abuse or neglect. Also, these people may be placed in the care of non-relatives, treatment foster care or therapeutic, group home or an institution (Anneli Anttonen, 2003). People who take care for these young people can be referred as foster parents.
Many young people especially children, get in the state care due to various reasons. In many cases, these young people experience sexual abuse, physical abuse, or neglected from their homes, state care place these people in a safe environment. Only a small percentage of young people get into state care due to their parents inability to control them (Stein, 2008). Some children get into state care because their parents or legal guardians have neglected them, or because their parents or legal guardians may not be able to take care of them due to incarceration, substance abuse, or mental health problems.
In such cases, these young people may be placed under state care while their parents or legal guardians receive counseling, treatment, or finish their sentences (Sonya Michel, 2002). In all state care cases, parents or the guardians of the child give up a temporary legal custody of their child. Young people may be put in the state custody with the consent of the parent. On the other hand, a court can give an order to place the child under the state care without the consent of the child's parent or guardian, in case there is a clear case of neglect or abuse (Shaw, 2010).
In the state care, the government ensures that a child gets good care, for example, if the government makes a decision that require a child to be removed from the home, he/she may be placed under the care of relatives or family friends. Also, they may be placed in group home, where several children under the state foster care live together with the caregivers' staff. These homes may be referred as foster homes. Treatment or Therapeutical foster care can be in a foster home or group home that have specific treatment, and structure focus (Hayden, 1999).
In a case like this, foster homes are the best and well-known option. Children placed under the state care temporary become part of another new family either with other children under the state foster care, relatives, or alone (Mono Chakrabarti, 1999). In the state care, social services agencies in the state or county, administer state care decisions, although these agencies may also work in collaboration with private foundations.
Additionally, In the state care, foster parents must be licensed by social services agencies dealing with the state care programmes (Mark E. Courtney, 2009). Additionally, the foster home where the children placed on state care live, must pass a health and safety inspection, and in many states, foster parents must attend training sessions. Though training, foster parents learn proper ways of handling and dealing with various problems, which may affect young people placed under the state care.
When a child is placed in state care, the foster family is charged with the responsibility of providing food and clothing to the child, as well as getting him or her to school, appointments among other duties that the child's parent or guardian would do. Additionally, the foster parent endeavors to meet the Therapist of the foster child as well as the child's case worker. This is because, the aim of the foster parent involves providing an ample opportunity for the foster child to develop normally in safe family environment.
In most cases, young people placed in state care have gone through some forms of neglect or abuse. Although state care provides safe and healthy environment to children, being detached from the familiar surroundings may be very traumatic in the mind of young people under state care. As a result of this trauma, young people placed in the state foster protection may sometimes experience nightmares, become depressed, confused, and angry or have problems in sleeping and eating (Mary Ellen O'Connell, 2009).
Young people, especially young children placed in the state foster care do not understand the reasons why they got taken from their biological or adoptive parents. Although the child may feel relieved for being out of the home that perceived to be a dangerous place, the child may still miss home and his or her parents or guardians. As a result, these young people may start to imagine that they should do something in order to get back to their parents and legal guardians.
In many cases, it is evident that young people placed under state foster care because of coming from neglectful and abusive homes start to feel comfortable in state care (Kaul, 2002). However, separation from their parents or guardians is always difficult for almost all young people placed under state foster care, regardless of the circumstances that made them to be taken away from their biological or biological parents, or guardians. Therefore, they may be lonely and stressed since they do not receive any parental care from their own parents.
Additionally, half of the children placed in the state care spend as much as 2 years in state foster care, and then get moved from one placement to another at least three times (Dorota Iwaniec, 2000). This leads to uncertainty and lack of stability in his or her life. Some of these placements may not be appropriate for specific circumstances of the child (Iwaniec, 2006). In many cases, this may be due to lack of licensed and qualified foster care givers, but it can also take place because of overloaded and inexperienced caseworkers who try to get through their caseloads.

On the side of the foster parents, state foster care may be a difficult task to them as well. This is because, a child who has been abused or neglected suffers psychological damage which can make him or her aggressive, withdrawn, immature or difficult to reach (Brown, 2009). Children who may have serious medical and mental problems make the work of the caregivers very hard. The main reason as to why foster placements fail sometimes is because, these surrogate parents cannot be able to handle the demands of the troubled child placed under the state foster care.
On the other hand, young people who "age out," or attain the age of 18 years and move from state foster care to live independently, may face a lot of problems in the society. This is because, many young people mark time within the child welfare system without sufficient preparation for the change to adulthood. Unfortunately, very few social services agencies provide employment opportunities for the young people who move out of state care. Only, less than 20 percent of social services agencies offer employment and career assessments, also, the social services agencies that offer job-training cannot exceed 20 percent, while very few agencies provide vocational training to the young people.
Without assistance, young people who move out of state foster care never go on to college, and in case they find jobs, they get poor jobs in terms of remuneration and working conditions. As a result of these problems, young people who move out of the state foster care after attain the required age, may become vulnerable to bad influences on the streets. This means that, these young people may start engaging themselves in criminal activities due to lack of jobs.
If they do not get any help from the social services agencies on how they can get jobs in order to cater for their basic needs and become independent, they may engage in unlawful activities in search for their daily bread. On the other hand, if social services agencies do not give jobs to these people or help them to get jobs in other agencies, their children may also be placed on the state foster care (child welfare system) just as they did. In order to break this cycle, adequate counseling, training and preparation can be appropriate (Meese, 2009).
In addition, many young people from the state foster care experience more challenges emotionally, financially, and developmentally. In 2004, the research carried out by Child Welfare League of America proved that, many young people in state foster care had more health and development problems, than those children who come from the similar economic circumstances, but lived with their biological or adoptive parents or guardians (James G. Barber, 2004). Also, young people placed in the state foster care have more abuse, neglect, family dysfunction, emotional problems and poverty. This may be a direct outcome of the reasons for the initial placement, but these circumstances carry on throughout the foster care.
Another problem experienced by young people placed in the state foster care, may be due to the fact that some care placements are made by families that are not financially stable; this means that, people who cannot afford their children's medical or psychological services (Susan Barton, 2011). This may contain severe social or mental disorder or multiple disabilities that depleted both financial and emotional resources of the family. These problems may still affect the future lives of the young people placed on the state foster care if not addressed appropriately.

Rapid urbanization has increased the demand for cement in developing markets. In 2016, the degree of worldwide urbanization rate was around 54% and is expected to grow up to 90% for developing countries by 2050. Specifically, the construction boom in the GCC has been vital for increased investments and added capacities in the cement sector. However, drop in revenue from oil has led to reduced investments in the construction sector. This has directly impacted the cement producers and the construction-related industries. Consequently, cement producers in the region are trying to establish their products in foreign markets to offset the volatility in local demand.
This thought paper highlights the opportunities for KSA cement producers in the GCC after the lift of the cement export ban. The findings are based on CAMELOT's profound consulting experience in projects supporting government and private companies to achieve financial and non-financial objectives by eliminating bottlenecks in the value chain process as well as by market diversification through initiating exports.

Picked up two middle aged passengers from the airport yesterday. The woman comes in first with two suitcases the the husband trailing behind with his. I did not pay attention to the man but he must have had the dog under his shirt. I focus on driving and did not see the dog till I reach destination. I one stared them for the dog hair on my new car seats, but did not report to lyft.

The banners are the creative fruit of several individuals. Christina Kitchens, graphic artist for the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber, designed the banners. Marketing Chair Blaine Johnson helped develop and implement the overall program. BIA Maintenance Supervisor Jim Burgess and his crew installed the banners in record time. Thanks to all of them--and thanks to the BIA ratepayers--the streets are ready for all those feet!
The photo at right shows the Leadership Tacoma-Pierce County team that developed the Pasport program: Kitchens, Jean Smith from Venture Bank, David Printz of the gurus LLC, Donna Miller from Simpson Tacoma Kraft Company LLC, and Pam Brewer from Franciscan Health Systemsn (Carol Young of United Way was out of town when this photo was taken). The image currently on the BIA website commemorates the banner installation (no, it doesn't take that many people to install one banner!) with a bit of the "in your face" urban twist. Chamber staff and members of the Leadership Tacoma-Pierce County team participated in the shot.
The BIA installs banners for a variety of public purposes and to celebrate events, community efforts and historic milestones. To find out what it takes to have a banner installed, visit the BIA website.

Several studies demonstrated clearly that quantum dots (QDs) distribute all over the body after their uptake and may accumulate in specific organs or tissues. Comparable to their toxicity (see section "exposure - in vitro") the uptake, the distribution, the possible metabolism and the excretion of QD is determined by their size, surface charge, amount, stability and coating [1].
The distribution of various quantum dots (QDs) in the body of animals has been tested by intravenous injection into mice and rats and has been analysed after different time points of treatment [2-7]. Some examples will be discussed below in more detail.
After the injection into the tail vein of mice all QDs distribute rapidly within the blood circulation even though various coatings have been used. Within one hour nearly all QDs had left the blood stream and could be detected depending on their coatings within the liver, skin or the bone marrow [3,7]. Only one very specific coating could prevent the fast elimination from the blood. Even after 133 days of observation the QDs could still be detected due to their strong fluorescence within the bodies of the animals. The stable high fluorescence signal indicates no degradation of the QDs within the organisms. Moreover, during the whole period of the experiment no cell death or acute toxicity could be detected in the surrounding tissues [7]. Changing the coating may result in degradation of the QDs as has been shown in other experiments in which a loss of luminance could be observed [2,7,8]. Probably coatings with larger molecules (high molecular weight) protect much better against degradation as compared to smaller molecules with a low molecular weight [7].
Within a 10-days short term study in rats it could be demonstrated that QDs depending on their coating could be detected within the liver and the spleen and to a lesser extent within the lung tissue and the kidneys [4]. During the whole observation time the QDs were stable (no degradation) and were not excreted via urine or faeces. It has been discussed that the used QDs are too large to be excreted via the kidneys [4,7].
In agreement with this a longer study (28 days) showed in mice that QD accumulate in liver, spleen and kidneys without being excreted [6]. Treatment and observation of mice over a period of two years (!) after injection of QD resulted in the following data: shortly after injection the QD could be detected in liver, spleen, lymph and the bone marrow. The fluorescence signal weakened within 5 days in the liver but stayed constant for 6 months within the bone marrow before decreasing there as well. Overall the signal could be detected over the whole period of 2 years within the lymph, no degradation took place and also no toxicity could be detected after this time of treatment [7,9].

Southwest has the reputation of being a lower cost airline, but without charging fees for all amenities. 2 bags fly free with a Southwest ticket, and you are offered free drinks on their flights. This makes Southwest a great option for budget minded travelers!
Southwest has a rewards program called Rapid Rewards. Earn points by flying with Southwest, or by using a Rapid Rewards credit card. My husband and I have a Rapid Rewards credit card that we use extensively. We have redeemed our Rapid Rewards points for multiple free flights, and it has been an easy process to do so.
One thing I didn't know about Southwest before we started traveling with them was that they actually fly to several destinations outside of the US. While their destinations are currently limited to the US, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, new destinations are being added all the time. I'm excited to see where Southwest heads next!
In the meantime, here are ten countries you may not have known your Southwest Rapid Rewards points could take you!
Aruba may only be 5 miles wide, but there's plenty of pristine beaches to enjoy here! Southwest flies into the island's Queen Beatrix International Airport – a small airport for a small destination.
The Bahamas
If you are heading to the Bahamas, Southwest provides service to Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau. The capital of the Bahamas is picture perfect and provides access to other islands nearby.
A small country nestled at the very top of eastern Central America, Belize is an underrated travel destination. Southwest Airlines is happy to fly you there, however, with flights to Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport near Belize City.
Costa Rica
Southwest actually flies to two destinations in Costa Rica: Liberia and San Jose. Costa Rica is a stunning country, and each of these destinations you can reach on Southwest will provide an incredible experience while living the Pura Vida.
Yep, you read that right. Southwest flies to Havana, Cuba! This is actually at the top of my travel bucket list right now, and I'm saving Rapid Rewards points as we speak for my husband and I to take a trip to Havana ASAP.
Dominican Republic
Punta Cana has become an extremely popular tropical getaway in recent years, so it's no surprise that Southwest will take you there. Punta Cana International Airport is somewhat of a tropical paradise itself, with open-air terminals and roofs covered in palm fronds.
Grand Cayman
Headed to the Cayman Islands? Book a flight to Owen Roberts International Airport with your Southwest Rapid Rewards points and be on your way to an incredible tropical vacation.
Montego Bay is somewhat of a paradise, and you can be on your way there before you know it by using your Southwest Rapid Rewards points! Jamaica is a vibrant country, and you won't regret redeeming your points for a trip here.
Southwest flies to several Mexican destinations. Regardless of if you're headed for Mexico City or the beaches of Cabo, Puerto Vallarta or Cancun, your Southwest Rapid Rewards points can get you there quickly and easily.
Turks & Caicos
Providenciales International Airportis your gateway to the Turks and Caicos Islands. You can live a life of luxury in this tropical paradise because you can fly here with Rapid Rewards points instead of paying for your flight!
Honorable Mention: Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is technically part of the US, but it is a Southwest destination that's easy to forget about. Fly to San Juan on Southwest and you can even leave your passport at home.

The Process of Applying For Probate – Check This Out
You have to understand that probate application can be a bit hard of a process. You have to know that around seventy percent of the total probate applications have all been done by a professional firm. Go ahead and look at the steps to how you can apply for probate and you will get why most of them seek professional help.
You should really appoint the probate service to a professional and no one else.
Someone who is employed to handle probate applications is known to be a probate practitioner. How much these probate practitioners will depend on a number of factors that will be discussed below so don't forget to continue reading below. The charges will be mostly linked to the complexity of the overall case. You have to understand that there are also other variables like contested wills.
You should know that beneficiaries that go missing without a trace and assets that vanish can be variables as well.
You should really think about hiring a professional to help you out with this kind of application because these complications can really stress you out. You should think about finding a service provider that can offer a fixed price up front with no other additional charges once it starts.
You need to understand that the process that you are about to get yourself into is going to require a lot of time. You have to understand that proper project management skills is important when it comes to this type of process.
Check out how you can apply for probate – the first and most vital step.
You need to know that there are different stages in applying for probate. You need to focus first on getting the right paper work. You need to get the information you need first before you can complete the process. This is why you need help from probate service providers. The first stage is going to be a lot easier when you have a professional helping you out. A probate service provider can either get it from the probate registry or from the probate and inheritance tax help line.
As long as you have a probate service provider helping you out, you will be in good terms and that is how you should work your way through the probate application. When it comes to choosing your probate service provider, make sure you research first because their help is going to give you a lot of benefits when it comes to probate application; they will have the skills and the knowledge to help you out and the connection as well. You need to understand that without the probate service provider, you will have a very hard time applying for the probate so be smart and research first before you hire anyone.

Catch-up sessions for Year 7Posted: 26th April 2019
A confidence boost in numeracy and literacy has helped students to settle into secondary school.
Students who arrived at Epping St John's School needing extra support in English and maths attended the school's first Year 7 catch-up sessions.
The 50 students took a test before the catch-up weeks and one at the end to measure the progress in their knowledge and skills.
Assistant headteacher Dee Sexton said: "This work helped students to gain confidence in their numeracy and literacy skills and will aid their progress in school. We had a whole week on each, so it was very intensive.
"Students were enthusiastic and really enjoyed it. Teachers are pleased with the progress students have made."
The catch-up sessions, for those who arrived from primary school working below average, focused on comprehension, spelling, addition and multiplication.
The new Year 7 joining next year will take part in similar sessions in September.
Stephen Hehir, executive head, said: "It is vital that no students are left behind in their learning. At Epping St John's, we not only focus on Year 11 and Year 13 examination classes, but all students and believe students in Year 7 are just as important.
"These catch-up sessions enable students to enjoy and develop a greater passion for English and mathematics.
"Well done to all students and staff connected with this programme."

All partners in the RELOS3 project make certain that the project is presented in local events. At the same time, stakeholder groups are held regularly, ensuring that project partners are kept informed about the latest developments in the project.
Both the local events and stakeholders groups have been defined in RELOS3's project objectives and help to increase the impact of the project. In this case, we do not only 'send' but also 'receive'. Collected feedback is very valuable.
To provide an illustration about how this is actually done: the local authority of Emmen has teamed up with the local Europe Direct Centre to disseminate information about the project. In two meetings, the project was discussed, one related to EFSI, and the other one in a more general debate on EU policies. RELOS3 provided a perfect example of how European parties can join forces to achieve a common goal.
The Spanish partner, held their meeting at Treball i Empresa - Ajuntament de Sabadell, and discussed the need to align local and regional innovation policies, as well as the benefits of innovation and smart specialisation.
Lastly, the Wielkopolska Region presented RELOS3 at a local Business Forum, and you can see this in the picture.
Three different approaches, all serving the same goal: to get the message of RELOS3 across and to discuss successful deployment of the Smart Specialisation Strategies in a local context.
In the picture you can see Elizabeth Duda of our Polish partner Wielkopolska Region presenting the project at a regional Business Forum.

There is one lucky Cumberland County resident who is a very happy raffle winner. Evergreen Credit Union announced that Paula Christensen, a Standish resident and longtime account holder in their Windham branch, is the winner of a Yamaha EX WaveRunner Jet Ski. She is the sole winner of a 2-month fundraising raffle held to raise funds for the local non-profits: Portland Trails, food pantries and lake associations. The winning ticket was picked by Jim Davenport, President of Long Lake Marina, who also donated the jet ski.
"The $6,100 raised from this raffle helps us make more donations in the many communities we serve," stated Jason Lindstrom, President/CEO of Evergreen. "In addition, the promotion highlights a very generous local business while creating excitement for the hundreds of raffle participants who set their eyes on a new jet ski; a win-win for all!"
The jet ski also has special meaning to the winner. "My sister is currently battling pancreatic cancer, and I visit her regularly to make sure that I get in as many visits as possible. But she lives across the lake from me, and it takes about 20 minutes in the car. Well, today that just changed. Now I can see her quickly and it will be so much easier. I had a good feeling about winning. I guess someone was looking over us."
Evergreen Credit Union is one of Maine's largest credit unions and offers mortgage, consumer, and business services, with branches in Portland, South Portland, Windham and Naples.
