A BURNLEY primary school has applied to build a new classroom for disruptive pupils.
Lancashire County Council (LCC) has revealed plans for a modular building and canopy at Rosewood Primary School, in Rosewood Avenue, which would also be used for counselling sessions.
The school said that the project, which will be funded using reserves, was needed because of a growth in pupil numbers in the past decade.
In a planning statement, LCC's directorate for children and young people said the building would 'make use of an existing level paved area which is currently underutilised by the school'.
The county council said: "The school have advised that they require an extra group room to assist staff running intervention groups within school.
"This will range from challenging disruptive behaviour in class to providing counselling services and provision of support for children with special educational needs.
"The proposed building would also provide additional breakout and welfare facilities for school staff and provide additional accommodation for teacher PPA (planning, preparation and assessment) time.
"The space will also be used for teaching small groups and parent and staff meetings "The school was opened ten years ago when intervention strategies were less common and the need for separate space for teachers and groups less needed. In that time the school has grown significantly."

1) I did a lot of kidding the last few days about "Must-win" games and I really don't believe there are any such things until you get to a game you really must win, like Game 82 the last two seasons, and Game 5 against Washington last spring. That doesn't mean last night's game wasn't important. It was. The sooner they got a point, then two, the better. I don't think this team, the way it plays, the way the players approach games, will really ever go into a downward spiral, though.
2) I know that a lot of you didn't like the way the game was going, or the way it went, but the Rangers really did dominate the game by a large margin. Other than, you know, the goals. And let's be honest, two of them were kind of fluky — Girardi banks one off Tavares' glove; Moulson scores that one off the top of the Green Monster — and the third comes off a deflected pass and a breakaway out of the penalty box. They really didn't allow much more, and Henrik Lundqvist, who actually laughed at the way he played in the first two periods, didn't have to make a whole bunch of big saves.
3) He sure was big, though, in the third and OT. Wasn't he?
4) I can't imagine what the referees saw that allowed them to call the four-minute penalty on Derek Stepan for a stick that didn't draw blood (that's not the definition), but certainly didn't cause an obvious injury (causing injury is the definition).
5) The penalty on Brian Boyle for boarding Tavares? Pansification. If anything, I thought the Anisimov hit on Okposo was closer to being boarding. But I don't think either should have been a penalty.
6) PS, in case you wonder why people, especially teammates, like Boyle, it's because of his willingness to do things like get hit with pucks in all three zones — standing in front of the net on two goals last night despite being all banged up. And in case you wonder why the media likes him, it's not just that he's bright, always available and thoughtful and pleasant. It's because he says stuff like "I think we hate to lose more than we love to win." That might be this year's "It's Just Pain."
7) Mats Zuccarello. I enjoyed the part where John Tortorella said the Rangers hadn't seen some of the passes he made, all season, and that some of them surprised some of the players. But I don't know if he's staying when Ryan Callahan gets back. I don't know who he replaces. I think he ought to get a shot to stay, though … make a decision, give him a look on the PP again. How could it hurt to take out one of the fourth-liners? Plus, if you get to one of those silly skills games, he can be a weapon. TLIKFN looked really funny next to John Scott and Mike Rupp in warmups. Like somebody threw a toy on the ice.
8) The Rangers were really, really good and patient with that winning 4-on-3 power play despite the idiotic chant in the building which grew: "Shoot the puck! Shoot the puck!" That's one time you don't want to just fire it because there's so much time and space. Officially they were 1-for-8 on 4-on-3 PPs before last night, so I'm going to have to go back and look. I thought they won at least one other game during a 4-on-3 in OT (in Boston on the Ference penalty maybe?)
9) By the way, I was told definitively that the spotlights in the renovated Garden have not been changed, that they're the exact same lights they've always had. I thought I'd noticed more glare on the ice, but it could be because of the different angle of the new pressbox. And if I was wrong, that's totally different — because, first, I didn't complain about it, and second, it doesn't matter if I did. But Tim Thomas? Just shut up.
10) Are you guys glad you don't have to see the Islanders again? Imagine. Most teams would be happy to have a few games left with them down the stretch. John Tavares=Monster.
11) Worst stat in sports: +/- … Five Rangers were -1 … Girardi, Staal, Gaborik, Boyle and Zuccarello. All the others were even. Five Islanders were +1. All the others were even.
12) I can't for the life of me figure out why the Islanders didn't trade Evgeni Nabokov before the deadline.
13) Not saying X+Y=Z. But Brandon Dubinsky misses virtually all of three games, and the Rangers go 0-3 and stink in third periods. Dubinsky comes back, the Rangers win with a strong third period. But boy, oh boy, do they miss the captain.
14) If Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik could both play like that the rest of the way — and Gaborik has all season — watch out.
My Three Rangers Stars:
1) Brad Richards.
2) Brian Boyle.
3) Marian Gaborik.
Cindy Crosby's Three Rangers Stars:
1) Brad Richards.
2) Marian Gaborik.
3) Brian Boyle.

They Should Be Called "The Every Day" Sandals! 04-12-2017
Because I wear them EVERY DAY!! They never have to be broken in, always comfortable from the first use.
I bought an older version of these shoes almost three years ago, and they are my absolute favorite summer sandal ever! I wear them almost with everything in the summer! So comfy and very durable, they lived through many floats on the river and many rough walks (I AM CLUMSY). I am about to buy another pair just because they were THAT amazing.

Another Awesome Pair of Volcom Flips 10-27-2015
These look & fit amazing.
I was worried they would be hard to slip off and on with the extra strap, but they aren't.
I have had several pairs of Volcom flips and I always wear them till they fall apart and these will be no different!

Versitile 08-13-2015
Can be dressed up or down. Super comfy and light weight. It's almost like having nothing on your feet. I want a pair in every color. I got the Aqua color and the color is just so pretty in person and looks the same as online. Happy camper :)

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Local teachers and students hope it will take just one idea to ignite a new wave of education in Jacksonville.
The Schultz Center for Teaching and Leadership held a meeting Tuesday night to discuss ideas about the EdSpark initiative, which will be part of this year's One Spark crowd-funding festival.
"This is an opportunity for people who are interested in learning to collaborate together. And the five areas that One Spark focuses on can all be education related," said Schultz Center president and CEO, Deborah Gianoulis.
"You know it's art, music, science, technology, innovation and so all of these ideas can be under this umbrella but all can be connected to learning."
The Schultz Center has embraced the notion of innovation through collaboration.
Leaders say after attending the 2013 festival, they saw the opportunity and potential to build upon its concept to move education forward, for both educators and students.
The 2014 One Spark festival takes place April 9-13 in Downtown. It will be based on the second floor of the Wells Fargo building.
Registration to become a participant is open until January 31.
To sign up, go to: beonespark.com/participate-creator.

Breakthrough Restaurants Recognized
Three restaurant companies were presented with Hospitality Technology's third annual Breakthrough Awards at last month's annual Restaurant Executive Summit. The awards recognize those companies that have made significant strides and growth advancements over the last year, and plan to expand their successes through technology and visionary leadership.
The winners are: Legal Sea Foods for Overall Technology Innovation; Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for Excellence in Guest Services; and Kahala-Cold Stone for Brand Growth
"The three award categories are designed to recognize growth-oriented restaurant companies, with each category highlighting a particular area that speaks to a company's overall innovation, thought leadership, current growth results and future growth potential," remarks Abigail Lorden, editor of Hospitality Technology and presenter of the awards. "Hospitality Technology is thrilled to have such deserving companies to honor with this year's Breakthrough Awards."
The publication's editorial staff selected the winning companies from a highly competitive pool of nominees. Legal Sea Foods, which owns and operates 34 restaurants and a conference center along the Eastern seaboard, was selected for Overall Technology Innovation based on its forward-thinking use of IT systems, including: handheld ordering and table-side wireless credit card processing; consumer-facing touch screens that offer access to the restaurant's menu, Wi-Fi Internet and community trivia; iPod docking stations; and an innovative Web site, recently ranked number one in HT's Web Site study. Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, awarded for Excellence in Guest Services, places an unyielding commitment on quality customer service, directly affecting the restaurant's current and future growth potential. The company successfully blends a white-linen environment and black-tie service into its growth-oriented business model, making it the largest fine-dining company in the U.S., with 109 company-and franchise-owned restaurants worldwide.
Kahala-Cold Stone was awarded for Brand Growth based on the company's continued expansion through its 14 franchised brands. Its recently-acquired flagship brand, Cold Stone Creamery, has brought the company to more than 1,400 locations, with a goal of becoming the number one selling ice cream brand in America.

Saint Mother Theodore Guerin Scholarship winners awarded
March 11th, 2013 | SMWC
By Lisa Luper
Communications intern
Service. Leadership. Commitment. These three words describe the ten outstanding young women who were awarded the Saint Mother Theodore Guerin Scholarship, the most prestigious scholarship at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC). The top awards, two $20,000 scholarships renewable for four years, were awarded to Samantha Buchanan of Dupont, Ind. and Jacqueline Peterschmidt of Valparaiso, Ind. Eight $13,000 renewable scholarships were also awarded to: Jordan Bray, Terre Haute, Ind.; Dagny Gargas, Indianapolis, Ind.; Emma Riffe, Rockville, Ind.; Sarah Kenderdine, Paris, Ill.; Caitlin Granfield, Noblesville, Ind.; Jessica Paddock, Rockville, Ind.; Courtney Prather of Colorado Springs, Colo. and Brandy Renalde of Warrens, Wis.
The students applied for the scholarship by submitting an application and a written essay on how Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, who founded SMWC in 1840, inspired them to make the world a better place. To be eligible for the award, they were required to be admitted to SMWC as a full-time campus student in a degree-seeking program, as well as demonstrate unique experiences, aptitudes and abilities to make a difference in their local communities and beyond.
The applications of the winners overflowed with qualities highly sought at The Woods. High grade-point averages and advanced placement courses highlighted their successes. Athletic involvements and achievements showed off their strength and persistence. Involvement with local charities and organizations demonstrated an exemplarly character. These are women who, although highly gifted, yet humbly desire to serve others.
The scholarship recognizes outstanding women who embody the principles by which Saint Mother Theodore Guerin lived and served. Well ahead of her time, she strongly believed in women's education and was dedicated to helping women embrace their potential and become leaders. She was dedicated to serving all people, regardless of race, religion or background, and continues to be an inspiration for others. Through SMWC and the scholarship, her passion for women's education lives on.

John Akula
Senior Lecturer, Law
John Akula is a Senior Lecturer in Law at MIT Sloan, where he has primary responsibility for the business law curriculum. His courses focus on the law-sensitive skills needed by managers in both young and established companies, and the legal framework of entrepreneurship, technology, innovation, and finance. John has also taught in the Biomedical Enterprise Program of the Harvard/MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.
John earned a PhD at Harvard, where he was a National Science Foundation Fellow, and where his research focused on the evolution of effective legal commitments. After post-doctoral work and earning a law degree, both also at Harvard, he clerked for a Justice of the highest court in Massachusetts, and then spent 15 years practicing law. He was a partner at Herrick & Smith until that firm dissolved in 1985, and then joined Goodwin Procter, one of the nation's leading law firms, as a partner in its business law department. As a practicing lawyer, he worked with senior managers and boards in a broad range of industries, including banking and health care. His typical role was as managing partner for clients for whom the firm was general counsel, and so he was involved in a great variety of matters. He had a substantial trade association practice, and was heavily involved in the drafting of legislation and regulation.
He left the practice of law in 1991 to return to the academic world. He divided his time between teaching at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and MIT Sloan, and is now full-time at MIT Sloan, where he is also heavily involved in the school's executive education and international programs.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - For the first time since Friday night's email announcement that Ed Pratt-Dannals' contract as superintendent of Duval County schools would not be renewed, the 36-year veteran of the school district says he's simply retiring.
"I'm not being fired, ousted, resigning or any other terminology," Pratt-Dannals said Monday.
The veteran educator said he's discussed the idea of retiring at the end his current contract with School Board members for several months. Board members say Pratt-Dannals leaving the position in December is a mutual decision.
Pratt-Dannals says despite the unprecedented financial challenges the district has faced, he believes there are many successes to celebrate
"I'm very proud of the fact that we have increased the academic achievement during the last five years with 85 percet of our schools reaching an A, B or C category," Pratt-Dannals said. "Despite the challenges and, at times, frustrations of the job, I wouldn't have traded it for anything in the world."
WATCH: Pratt-Dannals talks about the $100 million reserve fund recently found
"Ed's done a great job of leading the district and really creating a great foundation for us," Board Member W.C. Gentry said. "But we really felt like, at this point, we really needed to look for a leader that would hopefully transform the district and move us to a different level."
While board members say Pratt-Dannals has done a good job, they also say they want a new face with new perspective. The outgoing superintendent says he will help the board as it conducts a nationwide search for a new leader of the nation's 21st largest school district, and as they also consider making other key administrative hires.
Parents have mixed feelings about the departure of Duval County's third school superintendent in eight years.
"I think he could've done better. He could've fought more for the education of our children," parent Deborah Gore said.
"I'm a bit surprised, but with the way the School Board is these days, nothing should surprise anyone anymore," said parent Jeff Luckey.
After his retirement in December, Pratt-Dannals says he hopes to continue teaching or in consulting in the education field.

Loveless Cafe cannot be mentioned without calling out the biscuits. The down-home eatery—tucked away about 30 minutes west of downtown—has been serving southern staples for more than 60 years. And it's revered the world over for those fluffy, buttery biscuits—which are still prepared with a secret recipe Annie Loveless developed back in the '50s. Despite the roadside joint changing hands several times over the years, Loveless' biscuits have remained the same ever since she began serving the travelers passing through on Highway 100. All the while, tourists and locals alike flocked to the family-friendly cafe for classic southern flavors: fried chicken, country-fried steak, pork barbecue. (We suggest the rich and hearty ilk.) In 2009, the Loveless Barn joined the compound, turning the Loveless into as much of a music destination as a place for dependable grub.
The moniker Third Man Records is a slight oversimplification of what visitors find in this downtown compound, which was launched, designed and spearheaded by rock'n'roll's Jack White (who earned his country stripes when he produced veteran Loretta Lynn's award-winning album in 2004). You will find records here; the small storefront stocks singles and LPs issued by the label part of Third Man, including many of White's own work. Inside there are also plenty of novelties, including the Monkey Band (animatronic monkeys wriggling, usually, to a TMR-artist soundtrack) and Record Booth, which allows visitors to cut six-inch phonographic discs. After searching through all the treasures, head around the way to the Blue Room, a live venue complete with adornment that's another world away from the average beer-soaked rock club. Third Man Records cuts Blue Room performances straight to vinyl and offers up copies as captures and keepsakes. Ultimately, Third Man feels like something of a musical museum, gallery and creative playground—and, like the man who built it, is wildly unique.
Driving by imogene + willie's storefront in the bustling 12South neighborhood, visitors would be forgiven for thinking it's a gas station. Decades ago, it was in fact a gas station, and when Carrie and Matt Eddmenson refurbished the place to house their designer denim line, they did so with a visible restraint and respect for history—leaving the antique overhang and adding little signage. The Eddmensons use the same sensibilities when designing their jeans, which feature classic materials, methods and cuts with subtle updates. The brand's Willie men's jeans were inspired by the Levi's 1947 design, though updated touches make a big difference. Women's cuts opt for a more womanly rise that lengthens and flatters. The shop doesn't just focus on jeans though, they also peddle a stylish collection of shirts, jackets and some carefully selected homewares too. The draw truly is the denim though, and the Eddmensons work with hand-sewn details and prized raw, selvage denim—which, naturally, is tough during the first few wears, but settles in to envelop the wearer like a full-hearted hug from a southern granny. Fitting, since the business is named for Carrie's maternal grandparents—Imogene and Willie—who inspired the shop's welcoming, cross-generational vibe.
Owner of Barista Parlor—located in artsy, inclusive East Nashville—Andy Mumma took an unassuming concrete space on Gallatin Pike (which is almost ruined with fast food and title loan storefronts) and turned it into a stylish, quality-focused caffeine paradise. Baristas sling handcrafted, by-the-cup brews from an across-the-map crop of quality purveyors (Portland's Stumptown, Chicago's Intelligentsia, LA's Handsome Coffee Roasters and San Francisco's Sightglass), and the menu always features creative hot and cold specials. If you're not a certified coffee nerd, the friendly baristas will help you navigate the goods to find something that's just right. The beverages are certainly a reason to visit, but there's much more to praise, from the eye-grabbing art from local design studio, Isle of Printing, to handcrafted furniture from HollerDesign and heaps of vinyl. We suggest not leaving until you've tasted the BP sausage biscuits—made with meats and cheese from neighbors Porter Road Butcher and The Bloomy Rind. These biscuits encapsulate the entire Nashville vibe right now: Comforting but complex and incredibly easy to fall for.
Founder of Grimey's, Mike Grimes, is something of a local musical hero: He played with The Bis-Quits and Bare Jr., helped spur the dicey-to-trendy East Nashville renaissance with his much-missed venue Slow Bar and has served crate diggers at his namesake shop, since 1999. Grimes and co-owner Doyle Davis can quickly disavow that notion that vinyl is dead, since their business has grown steady over the years while the modern music industry struggles. First was the move from a tiny Berry Hill room to a handsome Victorian, then Grimes took over The Basement and turned it into one of Nashville's best cozy music venues. In 2013, Grimes and Davis added Grimey's Too just two doors down, selling "Tangible Musical Artyfacts" and housing independent bookstore Howlin' Books and a Frothy Monkey coffee bar. The growth surely reflects the duo's consistent focus on over-delivering. Grimey's shelves are always smartly stocked with both obscure and popular favorites, plus visitors could catch the likes of Elvis Costello or Brian Wilson signing records, or an in-store performance from The Black Keys or Feist—maybe even an invite-only Basement set from Emmylou Harris or Metallica. It's a music enthusiast's paradise, designed and maintained by fellow music lovers, which is probably why Grimey's is recognized as one of the best record stores in the country.
Hot chicken is almost officially Nashville's official food: it's a take on fried chicken that's generously slathered with a tastebuds-scorching mix of cayenne and spices, served atop a slice of white bread and simply appointed with pickles. Trendsetter Prince's—on the East side—has more or less cornered the "best hot chicken in town" market. But newcomer Hattie B's, in slicker Midtown, has managed to get Music City citizens talking; since the family restaurant opened in mid-2012, local mumbles have roared steadily. Order anything above mild flavoring and you're in for a little pain, but the flavor is so irresistibly rich and has such a bite that it's well worth it. While Hattie B's is spicy, diners will certainly notice it's more about the flavor than the heat. (That said, beginners probably should steer clear of the "Shut the Cluck Up.") The space is stylish without pretention; fire engine-red chairs, pendant lights and stained concrete floors make for a fun, relaxed setting for diners to abuse their tastebuds—in the best way possible.
About 20 years ago, East Nashville—just over the Cumberland River—was far from the thriving neighborhood it is today, but a steady and determined rebirth in recent years has turned it into a vibrantly creative testament to the independent spirit. And Five Points—at the intersection of Woodland, 11th and Clearview—is East Nashville's beating heart. Local businesses, and supporting those businesses, form a huge part of the area's culture, which means on any given afternoon or evening, you'll find Five Points buzzing with drinkers, diners and shoppers—some visitors, many locals. While in the area, visit some of the east side's most established players: The rustic yet upscale Margot Cafe & Bar, community fixture Cumberland Hardware and local live music go-to The 5 Spot. Newer venue, Five Points Pizza became a neighborhood staple shortly after its 2011 opening and running gear shop Nashville Running Company was almost immediately adopted by the tight-knit, hundreds-strong East Nasty running group. The area gets picked on locally for being a hipster hotbed, but 5 Points just tends to draw like-minded folks who like creativity, culinary experiments and an alternative lifestyle.
There isn't anything medicinal about The Pharmacy Burger Parlor, but a trip to the East Nashville eatery can certainly make diners feel better. The restaurant's focus is on local ingredients and house-made treats—a variety of frankfurter wurstchen, an array of tasty condiments and a broad menu of sodas and phosphates. We suggest the Ginger Phosphate for some bite and the Egg Cream Soda for a classic charmer. In traditional southern fashion, the fare is anything but light: The Farm Burger—complete with local beef, bacon and ham, plus a local over-easy egg and maple mustard—is fantastically meaty and hearty. The Stroganoff Burger—topped with caramelized onion, swiss and a mushroom stroganoff béchamel—is absolutely decadent and not for the faint-hearted. Finish off your meal with a shake or malt made with ice cream from East Nashville's Pied Piper Creamery and you're sure to be more than satisfied. The Pharmacy also boasts a beer garden, with ample picnic tables and arcs of twinkling string lights overhead, which is one of the best outdoor hangouts in the city. And the lengthy beer list—heavy on craft beers and German drafts—is selected to cure the ails of even the most demanding beer aficionado.
Crumb de la Crumb owner and cake artist Lorie Burcham aims to create sweet treats that look as special as they taste. From fire trucks to snowmen, pirate ships and princess tiaras, these cakes are artworks to behold. Burcham uses fresh ingredients for basic flavors like vanilla and red velvet, but also plays with gluten-free options as well as infusions—southern peach, creme brulee, Chambord, Kahlua, and fillings like chocolate hazelnut truffle, cannoli and much more. For a look at and a taste of the Crumb de la Crumb team's sweet (and savory) skills without actually commissioning a cake, visit their quaint Cottage Café—southwest of downtown in the tidy suburb of Bellevue—where sweet and savory snacks are on offer.
While The Man In Black has always been a Nashville treasure, Johnny Cash's namesake museum is a fresh point of pride for Music City. Cash's longtime friend Bill Miller started with his extensive personal collection of memorabilia, merged it with contributions from Cash family members, friends and professional partners, and opened the stately monument in April of 2013. Located in a busy downtown area, the Johnny Cash Museum is situated next to some of the most compelling musical landmarks; from the Ryman Auditorium to famed honky-tonk Tootsie's and the Country Music Hall of Fame. The museum's collection spans decades of Cash's legendary life, starting with his childhood and through to the twists and turns of a storied career. Highlights include Luther Perkins' amp with a handwritten note from Cash, noting its contributions to "Folsom Prison Blues," "I Walk The Line" and other timeless songs, and the recording console used on the American Recordings near the end of Cash's life. The space is even home to a wall excavated from Cash's lake house in Hendersonville. In its first few months, the museum has already earned high praise and is a must-see for any Johnny Cash fan.
One of the best things about being in a rural-adjacent city like Nashville is that driving just 30 minutes and you will be surrounded by lush, wide-open spaces. Drive a little further (about two hours) to visit Pikeville's picturesque Fall Creek Falls State Park—anchored by its beautiful waterfall. Whether you're an experienced hiker or more timid, you can easily enjoy some of the 60-odd waterfalls found within a 40-mile radius. Six inside the park itself are easily accessible, including the 256-foot Fall Creek Falls, which has close, paved access by car, then a breeze of a hike. You can also hike up the awe-inspiring oak and hickory forest, boat along Fall Creek Lake and go on guided horse-rides. If that all sounds a little too outdoorsy for your taste, head to Fall Creek Falls golf club, which boasts one of the most challenging 18-hole courses in the country. And if you're not in a hurry to get back to Nashville, any number of cabins at the lakeside Fall Creek Falls Inn offers a charming woodlands respite.

FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. - A 20-year-old St. Augustine woman is facing seven counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after an unsuccessful attempt to collect a debt, according to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies said Brianna Holman drove to Luther Drive around 1 p.m. Tuesday afternoon to collect a $300 debt from Jeritz Jones, a Palm Coast resident.
When Jeritz told Holman he did not have the money, an argument ensued until another resident of the home told Holman to leave, deputies said. They said she refused and went to her vehicle, where she got a large knife.
Witnesses said Holman then threatened to stab two people, and one of the residents armed himself with a baseball bat.
Deputies said the situation continued to escalate after the resident used the bat to strike the window of Holman's vehicle. Holman got back into her vehicle, backed out of the driveway and then accelerated toward the people standing outside the home in an attempt to strike them with the vehicle, according to a police report.
She lost control, however, and her vehicle wound up striking a minvan that was parked in the driveway, deputies said. They said her vehicle struck the other with such force that the minvan was pushed into the garage door, causing damage to the door and the house.
Holman was arrested by deputies as she stood in the median of the road, holding a knife and shouting directly in front of the Luther Drive home, deputies said.
She was being held in the Flagler County Inmate Facility with bail set at $7,000.

Model Modification 3Trivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
Have you ever been stuck in traffic, staring at the vehicle ahead of you?
Did you notice the make and model? Now you can use that to your advantage.
Each clue below takes the model name of a vehicle and modifies it to form a normal English word.
Any letters in quotes must be added to the model name (either before, after, or inside).
See how many you can figure out.
Example: Don't be greedy! Inserting "PERABU" into this Plymouth model is just too much.
Answer: SU-PERABU-NDANCE, a modified Plymouth SUNDANCE. A "superabundance" is an excessive amount.
1. Start with "VAU" and add a Cadillac model to find an early form of variety entertainment.
2. Insert a "T" into this Mercury model, and your barn should not fall down.
3. Insert a small "ION" in this Buick model, and it refers to an entire geographic area.
4. Adding an "N" to this Mercury model may result in a sting.
5. If you put a "RAT" into this Pontiac model, it will shake things up.
6. You might see this Dodge model with "SC" if you don't dodge the animals on the road.
7. Cat got your tongue? Inserting "AR" into this Mercury model will give a cat its voice.
HintHere is a list of models; only some are needed.
Accord, Achieva, Aries, Avenger, Corolla, Colt, Dart, Deville, Element, Escape, Estate, Expo, Fit, Festiva, Flex, Forester, Forte, Fusion, Golf, Impulse, Integra, Lancer, Legacy, Lynx, Metro, Neon, Optima, Precis, Prelude, Probe, Ram, Regal, Rogue, Sable, Scorpio, Sonic, Sprint, Taurus, Tempo, Venture, Vibe.
Answer1. VAU-DEVILLE, a modified Cadillac DEVILLE. "Vaudeville" often includes juggling, acrobatics, song-and-dance, and animal acts.
2. S-T-ABLE, a modified Mercury SABLE. A "stable" is both a place for animals, and something unlikely to fall.
3. REG-ION-AL, a modified Buick REGAL. Something "regional" applies to an entire area or region.
4. SCORPIO-N, a modified Mercury SCORPIO. A "scorpion" has a curved tail with a stinger on the end.
5. VIB-RAT-E, a modified Pontiac VIBE. To "vibrate" is to move rapidly back and forth.
6. SC-AVENGER, a modified Dodge AVENGER. A "scavenger" feeds on dead animals such as road-kill.
7. L-AR-YNX, a modified Mercury LYNX. The "larynx" holds the vocal cords; the "lynx" is a species of wildcat.

Kidney Diseases
High BUN & Creatinine Levels
I am 19. I have been on a high protein diet for the last few months. 2 months back I got a blood test done which showed high BUN levels of 50mg/dl and creatinine of 1.2 mg/dl . Also from a week i have been urinating a bit more frequently. I wake up about 2 times during my sleep to urinate, each time about 4 hours apart. Is this a sign of kidney problems? Thank you.
I wish I could give you a simple yes or no answer. A creatinine of 1.2 could represent abnormal kidney function. So this must be investigated further. Frequent urination could be a sign of kidney problems. If you drink a lot of fluid at bedtime this could result in waking up to urinate. Your blood sugars, if elevated can cause increased urine output, so you will need to be checked for diabetes. Please review this with your doctor.

PHILADELPHIA - The Ivy League announced its weekly awards in men's basketball on Monday, and Penn junior forward Fran Dougherty was named the Ivy League Player of the Week.
Dougherty earned the award despite the fact that Penn lost all three games it played last week; his numbers were simply too good to ignore. In Monday's loss to Delaware, he led Penn with 21 points and added six rebounds, two blocked shots and two steals. That was mere prelude to his performance the next night, in the Quakers' loss to Fairfield, when he scored 31 of the team's 53 points and also grabbed 10 rebounds for his first collegiate double-double. Dougherty's 31-point outing was the best by a Penn player since early in the 2006-07 season.
Penn wrapped up its week with Drexel in the latest chapter of their neighborhood tussle, and Dougherty once again led the way for the Red and Blue with 21 points and 10 rebounds, his second straight double-double. (All this, from a player whose career high prior to Monday was 14 points.)
Dougherty was 27-of-43 from the field for the week, hit the first four three-pointers of his career, and after going 1-of-5 at the foul line in the first half vs. Delaware he went 14-of-16 the rest of the week.
Penn is at Lehigh tonight and tomorrow night, completing play in the NIT Season Tip-Off. The Quakers will face Fordham tonight at 6 p.m., and then take on the host Mountain Hawks -- the fifth seed in the NIT -- Tuesday at 8:30 p.m.

ASHTABULA, Ohio (AP) -- A former Ohio high school wrestling coach has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges relating to him allegedly standing by while a wrestler assaulted another student.
The (Ashtabula) Star-Beacon (http://bit.ly/1qyZJkI ) reports that former Lakeside High School wrestling coach Jerry Brady pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor in Ashtabula County Juvenile Court this week.
The January fight between a 17-year-old wrestler and a 16-year-old student outside a junior high school was captured on a security camera. The school district put Brady on administrative leave while conducting an investigation, then fired him last month.
If Brady is found guilty, he could face six months in jail for each count.
Ashtabula is northeast of Cleveland.

Road Test: Clarisonic Mia Arcona Set
We road test the high-tech beauty device.
-Kathryn H. Cusimano
Here's the deal with my skin: with a little bit of luck, good genes and dedication to a strict skin regime, I've managed to keep my face pale and (mostly) clear for a long time. But, like most of us, I had my beef. My skin hasn't always felt as soft as I'd like, and my pores are practically the size of craters.
Enter the Clarisonic Mia, a facial cleansing brush that looks like a giant electric toothbrush (with good reason – it's made by the makers of the Sonicare toothbrush!). The device comes with a brush head for sensitive skin, though Normal and Delicate brush heads are also available for purchase, depending upon your needs. The Mia also comes with a trial-size tube of Clarisonic's creamy Gentle Hydro Cleanser, and when you buy it from Beauty.com you can also get it with Arcona's Magic White Ice Gel and Booster Defense Serum, all for $149.
I used the Clarisonic Mia with Arcona's system twice daily for two weeks. After the first use of the Clarisonic Mia, my skin felt softer and smoother. I followed up with the Arcona Booster Defense Serum and Magic White Ice in the morning, but skipped the serum at night. The next morning, my skin was soft, smooth and noticeably firmer. I even saw my pores start to shrink after just one day!
Read Our Favorite Beauty Products
Conditions improved for one week, but then, as is common with my skin, I broke out. I don't know about you, but every time I switch up my skin routine, my skin flips. I had hoped I was out of the woods after one week of improvements, but no such luck. Thankfully, the four zits that popped up on my chin and cheeks were easy to cover, and they disappeared within three days. I didn't switch up my routine; I stuck with the Clarisonic/Arcona system. After two weeks, my skin is practically flawless.
Likes: After just one day, my skin felt smoother, softer and tighter. I could see my pores shrinking over the course of a week, and my skin has continued to look better and better. My pores haven't disappeared (and they probably never will), but they are absolutely smaller than they were. The Mia hasn't totally erased the redness that shows up on my nose and cheeks, but that's been there for as long as I can remember – I doubt it will ever leave! My skin looks great without makeup, but when I add foundation, blush – the works, it looks like I stepped out of an airbrushed ad. Not bad, eh?
Dislikes: Within the first week, I did notice that when I looked at the pores on my nose closely (because who doesn't?) there was some gunk pushing its way out. My skin looked good from a distance, but up close I could tell that the Mia was shaking things up. This did work itself out after about a week and a half – you just have to grin and bear it, I suppose. Same with the breakouts. I've found that it's not unusual for your skin to react to a new product, but it all happened at once for me, and waking up with four pimples after a week of clear, soft skin is not a pleasant experience.
After four more days, the pimples were all but gone, and I was back to clear, beautiful, tight skin with minimized pores. You may have to be patient, but the Clarisonic Mia is absolutely worth the investment.

Jack Ventura-Cruess '16 is anxious to show Earlham fans just how good the men's tennis team is.
Last season, his skills helped take the team to its third straight appearance in the NCAA Division III National Tournament. Members hope to return again this season. In the likeness of Wimbledon, the team hosts Denison College for a Gentlemen's Dual match during an event called "Earlhambledon" on the Earlham Tennis Courts adjacent to the Randal R. Sadler Baseball Stadium. Fans are treated to free strawberries and cream as they enjoy a competitive tennis match.
Ventura-Cruess says the team is excited about the event and hopes fans enjoy the competition, which he thrives on.
"I am a confusing character," Ventura-Cruess says. "Opponents have never interacted with a guy on the other side of the net like me. I am willing to do the crazy stuff like dance around, make noises, stick my head in the net. Sometimes it's out of frustration, but sometimes it's just me expressing my joy for the game after I hit a shot. If you want to be entertained, I never disappoint."
The strategy worked throughout high school, but some of his teammates have him wanting to be more professional in his approach to tennis.
"I see now that most of the time my antics get in the way," he says. "I am working on cutting them out. I am out there to win as quickly, cleanly, gracefully and humbly as possible."
The scholar-athlete, a designation given to varsity athletes with a 3.2 minimum grade point average, says he's excited about some of the recent steps he has taken to improve his game.
"I need to be more efficient about it without all this extra flinging and flailing," he explains. "I need to play point after point consistently and be professional about it."
In addition to studies and tennis, Ventura-Cruess sings and beat boxes for the popular a cappella group The Brimleys and works at Lilly Library.
"You have to keep it all in proper balance," he explains.
The California native is considering majors in philosophy or international studies.
"I like to ask a lot of questions," he says. "Sometimes just asking brings a sense of humility that you need going through life."

ASU Art Museum and Roosevelt Row Community Development Corporation bring Feast on the Street to Phoenix, a London-inspired strolling celebration for the eyes and the palate Saturday, April 13.
The urban harvest festival will link guests through a half-mile long community dining table, artist-driven street entertainment, demonstrations of sustainability and the shared joy of exploring the heart of downtown Phoenix through food and music.
With an emphasis on sustainability, "Feast on the Street has set its sights on being a zero waste event. This first year will be an educational effort," said Greg Esser, desert initiative director with ASU Art Museum. "People will see compost and recycle bins throughout the event. Through ASU, the City of Phoenix and other partners, we'll have numerous demonstrations encourage people to divert green waste from the landfill and create healthier soil for their gardens at home."
Clare Patey, the curator of Feast on the Bridge in London which takes place on Southwark Bridge that overpasses the Thames River, brings Arizona the Phoenix version of "Feast" in partnership with Matthew Moore, a fourth-generation Phoenix farmer and renowned Arizona artist.
Entry to the Feast is free, offering guests a rediscovery of the simple pleasure of eating and imbibing with neighbors in a common place. Area restaurants will prepare grab-and-go meals for purchase along with participating gourmet food trucks. Beer and wine will be served. Guests will be able to marvel "table art installations," created by Arizona artist Joan Baron and team using desert-indigenous creosote plants throughout the vast communal table.
Entertainment, Activities, Parades and More
A variety of artists and interactive art, music and sustainability activities will be featured at the event. Moore will create a massive commemorative salad toss using greens and vegetables typically discarded due to their bruised appearance.
Roaming musicians will lend their talents to the event as well, with New Orleans-style Bad Cactus Brass Band leading a parade, and Dry River Yacht Club and Cumbia-style Chicha Dust from Tucson headlining the stage. The Haymarket Squares, a premier punkgrass band local to Phoenix, will roam the event as they perform.
As part of the sustainability vision of the event, community gardens, farms, school groups and those who simply have a love for growing food are invited to Mobile Garden Parade where they'll put their garden on wheels – in wheelbarrows, bike baskets, hats, buckets, backpacks or anything that makes a garden portable.
ASU's Global Institute of Sustainability will produce compost demonstrations; ASU's Advanced Special Management Program will host interactive art activities using and celebrating indigenous plants and materials throughout, where guests can work with palm fronds and natural dyes, make leaf prints and even sunflower stalk frames.
A pop-up park in the event footprint will offer games of bags and more, and the ever-popular Arizona Storytellers series will host humorous first-person accounts on the topic "gathering around the dinner table." Stories are scheduled every half-hour.
For more information and schedule for Feast on the Street, please visit feastonthestreet.org
When: Saturday, April 13, 2 – 9 p.m.
Where: First Street between Taylor Place and Moreland
Cost: Free entry

Giants take advantage to come back vs. Pirates
Passed ball scores go-ahead run; bullpen picks up Lincecum
SAN FRANCISCO -- The postgame music that had gone missing while a dormant Giants offense scored just six runs in the club's season-high six-game losing streak returned to the Giants' clubhouse late Wednesday afternoon.
The offensive production was back, and so were the celebratory tunes.
Combined with brilliance from the bullpen, the Giants were able to overcome a poor start from Tim Lincecum and avoid what would've been the club's first winless six-game homestand at AT&T Park with a 7-5 comeback victory against the Pirates.
"We can all eat solid food again," manager Bruce Bochy said after what he considered to be a huge game.
Wednesday's result won't be easily digested for the Pirates.
Yes, softly hit grounders finding holes and bloopers coming in the "well-placed" variety were a welcome change of pace for the Giants, but it was a blunder by the Pirates that led to the winning run. In the bottom of the seventh with Andrew Susac batting in a 5-5 game, a wild pitch from Justin Wilson bounced away from catcher Chris Stewart. His hurried throw to the plate went awry, and Joe Panik scored the go-ahead run from third base.
"Good things happen when you put balls in play," Bochy said, "and they happened today."
Panik acknowledged he'd likely have been out with a clean throw, but, as he said, "I guess it's true that you've got to force the defense to make plays."
That's precisely what the Giants' defense did one inning prior with one out and runners on second and third. Down, 5-4, Jean Machi had just thrown ball four to Stewart. Unaware of the circumstances, Travis Snider began advancing to third base, as if the bases had previously been loaded. Machi noticed and threw to shortstop Brandon Crawford, who tagged Snider. Gaby Sanchez had abandoned third base with Snider bearing down on him, and he was promptly tagged out, too.
Goodbye, bases-loaded-with-one-out situation. Hello, new inning.
"Just like we drew it up, right,?" Panik quipped. "That was something else and it really changed the momentum of the game.
"We got lucky with that one."
The Giants haven't been very good lately, but they helped create some of their fortune Wednesday.
Bochy and the rest of the coaching staff stressed protecting the strike zone with a handful of hitters after the Giants struck out 13 times in Tuesday night's loss. The refocused efforts in the batter's box paid dividends, as each of the nine starters but Lincecum recorded at least one hit.
The struggling Gregor Blanco tied a season high with three hits and drove in a pair of runs from the lineup's seven spot. Panik contributed his season's fifth RBI from the six spot. After what's been a seemingly neverending search for bottom-of-the-order productivity, the Giants will happily take any and all contributions, pretty or not.
"It wasn't a pretty game by any stretch of the imagination, but a lot of guys grinded out at-bats and that's the mentality we're going to have to have going forward," Panik said. "We're not going to win every game [with] five home runs, so we're going to have to keep getting the two-strike and two-out hits."
Lincecum just hopes they won't need as many to compensate for him in his next start. Sure, the win meant five of the club's last eight home victories have come in Lincecum's starts, but Wednesday's had very little to do with the righty. After surrendering five runs on five hits and three walks in 3 1/3 innings, Lincecum said the problem was mechanical, not physical.
"Instead of driving through my back leg, I was peeling off and couldn't really right the wrong," he explained.
The Giants' bullpen could, though. And did.
Aided by Snider's baserunning blunder, relievers Juan Gutierrez, Javier Lopez, Machi, Sergio Romo and Santiago Casilla allowed just one hit as they combined to throw 5 2/3 shutout innings.
That's not far from being par for the bullpen's post-All-Star-break course, either: The unit has a 1.34 ERA (seven earned runs in 47 innings) since the break.
"What a job they did," Bochy said. "They saved us."
In doing so, they salvaged a victory in an otherwise horrid homestand. And a happy flight.
"It's cliche, but we've been up and we've been down," Panik said. "Hopefully now we've gotten things going and will take this into the road trip.
"We've got the talent for it."

TomTom is attempting to lower the learning curve for the entry-level GPS buyer with its new Ease line of GPS navigation devices. The Ease, which slots into TomTom's lineup just below the TomTom One, is remarkably similar to the TomTom Start, which debuted in European markets last year, and may well be the same device but with North American maps.
At first glance, the Ease appears remarkably similar to the TomTom One 140 S, which we've previously reviewed. They're both smallish GPS devices with 3.5-inch QVGA color touch screens and TomTom's EasyPort mount. However, look a bit deeper, and there are plenty of differences to be found between the two TomTom models.
The Ease's power button has been moved to the back of the device, rather than staying in its usual position along the top edge. Along the bottom edge of the unit is a rather deeply recessed Mini-USB port for charging and syncing the device. Because the Ease does not feature an SD or microSD card slot, all map updates must be synced through this USB connection.
Where the One's EasyPort mount clips onto a rotating swivel on the unit's back, the Ease's EasyPort mount is integrated into its housing. The advantage of this configuration is that the Ease's profile is notably thinner than the One's, with its suction cup attached. We were unable to figure a way to dashboard mount the device until we realized that the whole EasyPort assembly must be removed, rotated, and replaced in order be able to angle the suction cup for connection to the included adhesive dashboard mount.
The Ease is available in three housing colors: black, white, and red. Ours was a black unit, but TomTom will be making replacement shells in a variety of colors for users who'd like a bit more flair. Changing the shell is a rather simple process. First, the EasyPort mount is removed from the back of the unit and then the shell is simply pushed off of the device and replaced. Beneath the shell, we were surprised to find a removable lithium ion battery. We also found the device's small half-inch speaker and a pinhole reset button.
However, the biggest change to the TomTom Ease happens beneath the surface. The Ease's home menu has been dramatically simplified, versus the standard TomTom interface on the One. Previous TomTom devices dump the user onto a home screen with six or more options. The Ease, on the other hand, features a home screen with two main options: Plan route and Browse map. The home screen also features a row of five smaller options for sound, day/night mode, help, options, and done.
Starting with the main options, clicking Plan route takes the user to a submenu of destination options. Users can navigate to a preset home address, favorite destinations, a specific address, recent destinations, or searchable points of interest. The Browse map option takes users to an overhead map view for selecting a point on the map as a destination. POI icons can be overlaid on this map for easy location of, for example, the nearest restaurants or gas stations.
On the main screen's submenu, the Sound icon only serves to mute or unmute the Ease's audio; volume control is located in a completely different menu. The day/night button manually switches between the Ease's color schemes. The Help button brings up the "Where am I?" menu that displays your current location and nearest cross streets, as well as quick links for phone numbers and driving directions to the nearest emergency services. Clicking options brings up device options and, subsequently, advanced options; the Done button returns to the live navigation map.

I'd like make some clarifications to the navigation bars for the UK comics, but I don't know how.
There are two types of UK comics: the weekly arcs (numbered 1-37), and the annual stories (1-11). At the bottom of the weekly arc pages is a nav-bar that says "Story Arcs". This is could be changed to "Weekly Story Arcs". The more important change is on the annual pages, where the navigation says "Annual Story Arcs". The annual stories were self-contained, and are thus not actually 'arcs'. So far, I've found a one-page gag and a prose story among the annuals, so "Annual Stories" seems to be an accurate blanket term to use instead. -- Connor Cabal 04:14, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- I'll tweak the template then. :P -- Sulfur 11:37, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! The check is in the mail. -- Connor Cabal 12:32, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Wow. These teams don't lose.
Carolina tightened the screws again last night against Detroit, and now the Rangers might have to win both of their remaining games.
The Hurricanes are not only two points back, but they tied the Rangers in the first tiebreaker, regulation/OT wins. So if they are tied in points and R/OT wins after Saturday's games, Carolina wins the second tiebreaker — the season series (which, by the way, was 2-2 in actuality, but 2-0-2 for the Canes, since the Rangers' wins came in OT and the skills competition).
Magic Number: 3 with two to play.
So, by my calculations …
Bottom line for a playoff berth:
If the Rangers win one of their games and get at least a point in the other, they're in.
If the Rangers win tonight, Carolina has to win both of its games (tomorrow at Atlanta, Saturday vs. Tampa Bay) and hope the Rangers lose in regulation to the Devils.
If the Rangers don't get a point tonight and Carolina wins in regulation tomorrow, then it's a tie going into Saturday's finales … and Carolina gets in on Saturday with A) a win; B) a regulation loss by the Rangers; or C) if each team gains a point.
(Can somebody check that math for me?)
Here's another way to look at that final scenario:
If the Rangers fail to get a point tonight and Carolina wins in regulation or OT tomorrow, these will be the standings going into Saturday:
Hurricanes 91 points, 35 regulation/OT wins (and the season-series tiebreaker).
Rangers 91 points, 34 regulation/OT wins.
There are some other possibilities because of shootouts, the Bettman Bonus Points and the R/OT wins tiebreaker, but it makes my head hurt to consider them (Anybody care to take a whack at it?).
Then there's the chance that Buffalo backs up and complicates things.
For example, if the Rangers get two points in their last two games, and Buffalo gets none, the Rangers are in. And catching Montreal is still a mathematical possibility.
Editor's note: I will be the least surprised person on the planet if somebody finds an error in my calculations.

Where can you get this much protein? Eat whole foods such as meat, fish, eggs poultry, dairy and soy. If you don't have time for a protein-rich meal, then use a protein powder. Vegetarians tend to need protein powders desperately since complete proteins are usually lacking in their diet.Protein Quality Ratings
B.V. (Biological Value) is the proportion of absorbed protein that is retained in the body for maintenance and/or growth. The highest score of 100 was given for the best protein at the time, egg. However, whey protein came along and proved even better than egg.
P.E.R. (Protein Efficiency Ratio) is the gain in body weight divided by the weight of the protein consumed.
N.P.U. (Net Protein Utilization) is the proportion of protein intake that is retained (calculated as BV times Digestibility).
PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) is based on the amino acid requirements of humans. A protein scoring a 1.0 indicates it meets all the essential amino acid requirements of humans according to the Food Agriculture Organization and World Health Organization. However, it does not take into account surplus essential amino acids some proteins have that could compensate for lower levels in another protein like beans.
Whey protein tops the list as the best quality protein due to its specific amino acid array. Lower quality vegetable proteins are at the bottom of the list due to low levels of one or more essential amino acids. However, one protein is not superior to others in all ways. Each has distinct advantages and disadvantages.
Strengths and Weaknesses of Whey, Milk, Egg and Soy Protein
Whey Protein
This protein from milk is a by-product of cheese making. About 20% of the protein in milk is whey and 80% is casein. A filtering step converts it to a pure protein.
• One of the highest quality proteins on earth. The B.V. (Biological Value) is 104, higher than all other
animal proteins.
• Good for lactose-sensitive people.
• Digests fast; won't leave you feeling full.
• Supports immune health from certain protein components.
• High in BCAAs (branched chain amino acids), important for bodybuilders and dieters since BCAAs
can be used for fuel, potentially sparing muscle tissue.
• Supports IGF-1(Insulin-like Growth Factor), which is important for bodybuilders.
• Because it digests fast, it won't keep you satisfied for very long.
• Lower in naturally occurring glutamine than milk proteins, which is why glutamine is added
to some formulas.
• This slow digesting protein keeps you full longer since it must form a gel during digestion before
it is absorbed. This slower transit time may extend the exposure of the protein in the intestines
and may help increase absorption.
• Has a naturally high glutamine content, higher than whey, soy or egg.
• Very low in lactose.
• One of the best proteins for building muscle.
• Some people have allergies to casein protein. If you have milk allergies from lactose only,
then casein should not pose any problems since it is very low lactose.
Egg Protein (egg white or egg albumen)
This protein used to be the 'gold standard' that all other proteins were measured against, until whey protein came along. Most formulas contain very little egg protein.
• Excellent amino acid profile with sulfur-bearing amino acids.
• Slightly bitter taste.
• People unjustifiably perceive it to be high in cholesterol. But the bad rap on egg comes from the yolk,
not the egg white. The egg in protein powders is egg white.
Soy Protein
Soy protein is processed from the soybean plant. Most of the fat, fiber and carbs are removed. Since it is a vegetable product, it has no cholesterol.
• Reduces heart disease risk. The FDA has approved a health claim as follows, "25 grams
of soy protein daily in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease."
It is thought that the isoflavones, found only in the protein portion of soy, account for its heart healthy
• May help with normal thyroid function to keep your metabolism steady.
• High in glutamine, about the same as casein.
• Has phytoestrogens which may temper symptoms of menopause in middle-aged women.
In summary, different proteins offer varying advantages. We suggest you consume a variety of proteins in your diet but be sure to get optimal amounts for optimal health!

BASINGSTOKE powerlifter Sam Goodall is celebrating after retaining his world title.
The 21-year-old, from Chesterfield Road, Black Dam, blew the competition away at the Drug Free Powerlifting Federation World Championships, which took place in Boston, America.
Competing in the under-23 100kg class, Goodall recorded a total of 672.5kg over the course of three disciplines to defend the title he won last year – finishing 31.5kg clear of his nearest rival.
Goodall said: "It was really nice to win again but I was nervous because there is a different sort of pressure when you are the reigning champion.
"I am my own worst critic and I'm so scared of losing, or even coming second. Everyone knows me now around the town, and I hate saying that I didn't win.
"It was pretty terrifying going into the competition because I knew that it would only take one mistake and I would be out."
In addition to the mental pressure associated with going into the competition as defending champion, Goodall has also had to contend with injury this year.
He suffered a partially-torn pectoral muscle in April, an injury that continues to restrict his efforts in the bench press, while he has also struggled with ankle ligament problems.
"It has been a really tough year injury-wise," Goodall said. "I really wanted to go and defend my title but with the injuries, I did not want to pay out to go there and not do myself justice.
"I was really lucky that the company I work for, Waldham Precision Engineering, stepped up to sponsor me. That made me totally concentrate on my rehabilitation, and I pulled it out of the bag once I got out there."
Goodall stamped his authority on the competition in the first discipline, the squat, lifting 252.5kg to break his own world record and take a 32.5kg lead.
"I have got a new training system for the squat and it is going brilliantly," he said. "The squat is more of a mental event and one of my rivals had been giving me some chat before it, so it was really nice to break the world record."
Goodall's injury problems restricted his efforts in the bench press to 130kg, leaving the Basingstoke Powerlifting Club member trailing by 3.5kg going into the deadlift.
However, he destroyed the field with a lift of 290kg, beating his nearest rival by 36kg to win the competition overall. But it was not all plain sailing.
Goodall said: "I have done a bit better than that in the deadlift, and I failed with my first lift. That was a bit scary because if I had not made a lift, I would have been out of the competition.
"As it was, 290kg went up very comfortably and I went for another world record at 315kg. I got it to my knees but there was just not enough left in the tank to make it."
Having won the competition, Goodall then faced a different challenge as Hurricane Sandy delayed his flight home by two days. But he said: "It was 100 per cent worth the trip, despite all of the problems. I never get bored of winning."

"Our wedding shower invites and thank you post cards were absolutely beautiful. On the thank you cards we used our own (personal) photo shots and were extremely happy with the print, photo, and card stock quality. Both cards were amazing! Thank you for the beautiful work you do."
"Size was smaller than i envisioned but loved them just the same. Picture color was vibrant. We chose the green option and were pleased. Very heavy but foldable card stock. Super quick turn around! Over all happy with everything!"
"We wanted the ability to have one main picture on the front and then a few extra ones inside on our wedding thank you cards. This seemed to be the only one that allowed this. It was easy to add photos and change the design. The end product is amazing and we changed the design to have a plain white background so it didn't crash as much with our save the dates and wedding invitations. I'm so excited to send these out!"
"I really loved the design of this card! The dress is just beautiful against the soft pink background with the gold accents! Everyone LOVED it!"
"Lots of compliments on this beautiful card! Very easy to add our favorite photos and the quality of the printing was amazing! Nice thick paper and perfect amount of space to write a heartfelt thank you."

Etymologies from Etymonline.com:
plight (v.)
"pledge," obsolete except in archaic plight one's troth, from O.E. pligtan "endanger," verb form of pliht "danger, risk," from P.Gmc. *pleg- (cf. O.E. pleon "to risk the loss of, expose to danger," O.Fris., M.Du. plicht "care, carefulness," O.H.G. pfliht, Ger. pflicht "obligation, duty," M.Du. plien "to answer for, guarantee").
plight (n.)
"condition or state (usually bad)," c.1175, from Anglo-Fr. plit, O.Fr. pleit "condition" (13c.), originally "way of folding," from V.L. *plictum, from L. plicitum, neut. pp. of L. plicare "to fold, lay" (see ply (v.)). Originally in neutral sense (as in modern Fr. en bon plit "in good condition"), sense of "harmful state" is probably from convergence with plight (v.) via notion of "entangling risk, pledge or promise with great risk to the pledger."
As an aside, when I saw the German pflicht, I wondered whether this word may then be related also to the word conflict, which derives from Latin conflictus...
I also was intrigued by the relationship to pledge!

Leeds coach Brian McDermott paid tribute to former England captain Jamie Peacock after he laid the platform for his side's 22-14 win at Castleford which consolidated their place at the top of the First Utility Super League.
The 36-year-old prop stayed on for the full 80 minutes after three times refusing to be substituted and was still going strong at the end.
"I attribute that win to three people," McDermott said. "JP takes all the bullets off everybody and Maggs (Danny McGuire) and Kev (Sinfield) just marshall the troops. Without them, I'm not sure how that game looks.
"I tried to take JP off three times but he just turned round and said 'no'. I need help. Does anybody dare tell JP to come off. I cringe when I tell young Chris Plume to go on and say to JP he's got to come off."
The Rhinos twice trailed after Castleford scored tries through Kirk Dixon and Marc Sneyd to lead 14-12 at half-time but defended heroically to keep their hosts scoreless in the second half.
Leeds' tries came from three-quarters Kallum Watkins and Ben Jones-Bishop, but McDermott preferred to praise the work of his forwards for creating the scoring opportunities.
"The game's about putting those fellas on a platform to be able to play," McDermott said. "Our forwards need a huge amount of credit for that.
"I thought it was a very good performance. It looked a little different to what we've done so far this year. Clearly the wet and the conditions hampered both teams.
"We had to dig that one out. Castleford have some potency. They still punched a couple of holes in us and they kept on probing so it's pleasing to keep somebody who has scored a lot of points down to two tries."
McDermott conceded that the Tigers' short turnaround, having lost to Huddersfield last Sunday, had put them at a disadvantage.
"It probably will have taken some juice out of them, especially late in the game," he said.
The eight-point defeat was Castleford's heaviest of the season and coach Daryl Powell remains proud of his players' efforts.
"We made too many errors in the second half and we just lost our way a bit," he said. "We looked a bit tired in the second half, it looked like a Sunday-Thursday turnaround.
"We couldn't build any sustained pressure on Leeds.
"We're learning some harsh lessons at the moment and if we learn them we should come out stronger.
"We're in the battles every week and tonight we weren't far away, but I thought Leeds deserved to win the game. They were pretty professional."

Sankashti Chaturthi, or Ganesha Sankashta Chaturti, is dedicated to Hindu God Ganesha. Apart from fasting, special pujas are performed on the day. Sankashti Chaturti August 2017 date is August 11 – Moonrise or Chandrodaya time is 9:40 PM. Sankata Nivarani Chaturti, which is observed for removing problems in life, is observed on the fourth day of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of moon) in a traditional Hindu lunar calendar. Sankashti Chaturthi fasting is considered to be highly auspicious by Lord Ganesha devotees.
Sankata Nivarani Chaturti fasting begins at sunrise and ends after evening puja or after the sighting of the moon. Ganesh Temples conduct special pujas on the day.
Popular belief is that observing Sankashta Chaturthi will help in alleviating problems and it will bring prosperity, happiness and fulfillment of desires. The holiness of Sankashti Chaturthi Vrata was explained by Sri Krishna to Yudhishtira, the eldest of the Pandavas.
It is found in the Narasimha Purana and Bhavishaya Purana.

The Reds jumped back into the lead for the wild card last night with the Dodgers loss to the Cardinals.
Is there any doubt we would have lost the last 2 games without Guardado on the scene? We may or may not have gotten fleeced, but at least these 3 additional arms give us all hope for the rest of the season instead of watching it fritter away.

I have been working all week and it's getting on a bit. The last thing I want to hear is more about web design, so instead I want to open a thread up which would side-track us a little but keep us united.
As the holiday's come to a close, a good thread topic is "What is your best holiday" and ''Worse Holiday Experience'
I will kick off the thread, my best holiday has to be my Cyprus holiday, mainly because it's cheap and pretty awesome! The worse holiday experience I had was in Egypt as I felt restricted and it was just too hot!
Though I have to travel arround the world a lot but It was the best experience while traveling around India. The traditional building all over the country give you a supernatural experiennce, you can also enjoy mountain, desert, sea beach. It's like traveling all the world in one country. I am now fully in love with India.
I love holidays as it is the time that I could relax and have more fun traveling to other places. I could say my trip to Japan is the best as I experienced real winter (with snow) for the second time in my whole life (the first time was in Boston & NY). But then still Japan experience became memorable for me because of the people that I have been into - they are so warm and hospitable and may be because I stayed more days in rural areas (Aizuwakamatzu City and nearby town) than in Tokyo City. I enjoyed the Ski Resort in Mount Bandai, boating in Inawashiro Lake, visiting samurai houses and castles there.
I don't know what is worse because I enjoyed all my Holidays even in Tropical Asian countries…
I go to a tour after every 4 to 6 month and I love to explore the new places and then visit there.I have visited many countries but my favorite place is Hawaii. . . . . . . . . where I enjoy a lot. I must suggest to visit there if anybody is going to spend their holidays in USA.
Mmm... I would love to the to the US, but it's very expensive from the UK and I could probably visit 4/5 places with the same budget within Europe.
India is one of the best tourist destination where you see culture, Tradition, fort & Palaces, history and many more things to see
Funny thing, probably my best holiday experience was my Egypt vacation. Was there right after new year so the weather was very good. Food was good, clubs and bars were good and everything (except the alcohol, because the locals do not drink) was incredibly cheap.
Next week, i am going to move with my family to Koh Samui, Thailand.....One of the best place ever for holidays and to live !
The main issue I had was with the constant begging on the streets 'uno lira' as I last remember.
Some Egyptians even knew Greek. But ultimately I had a bad experience because the person showing us around cornered us and would not let us go until we bought something. It was quite scary. I would never go there again. It's not worth I would want to be put through. We went via cruise ship from Cyprus to Egypt. At the time cruises where quite cheap. Things have changed now and prices have gone up on this front.
This is a pretty bad experience... Sometimes they are pushing it too much. I had a similar experience around the Gyza Pyramid, I would go on top of a camel and the guy will not tell the camel to go down unless we pay him 50 euro, after arguing a bit, I gave him $5. I have been most of the time in Hourgada, which is a tourist only destination with very tight security...no problems there.
It was back in 2007. Its not a good idea to go to Egypt anymore, with the recent uprisings, its not safe at all.
Just last march 2013, me and my friend had this wonderful vacation to Singapore. It's my very first out of the country vacation, so it was special to me. I sort of like saved a lot just to be able to pull it off. Anyway, it was memorable. We've been to a lot of places there and tasted their food. Singapore almost means diversity. I just can't find one thing that makes them distinctive. Maybe because I can't figure out who the singaporeans are, there seemed to be a lot of foreigners everywhere. Most look Asians - thailanders, filipinos, indonesians, indians, etc. Indians are probably the easiest to spot.
Nevertheless, Singapore is a very beautiful and clean country. I love it.
lol, the same happened to us. We also went to the Pyramids, would never go again! I saw those tourists being put on those camels and blackmailed by the locals. When I saw this I never tried to go on one. It's a different world. I would be very careful in visiting middle-eastern countries.
My best holiday experience will always be spending time with my best friends and family
I recently went to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and thought it was superb. The beach life and the city was exceptionally friendly. It wasn't as dangerous if you stayed within the touristy areas. The views were spectacular when I did hang gliding.
My favourite holiday destination in this year is thailand (specially Pattaya).. Very good experience.
I love manali. i go after 2 to 3 months to spend my vacations there. i love adventurous places and river rafting is quite famous in manali.
It depend on time of your holidays if your holiday start between October to MArch then you make plane for golden triangle tour for 06 nights and 07 days places to visit Delhi- Agra- Jaipur.

15 Plus Size Spring Dresses That'll Turn Up the Heat
From flirty floral minis to airy chiffon maxis, we've scoured the 'Net for the best dresses for girls with curves.
-Diana Denza
With the warm weather months right around the corner (thank goodness!), it's time to stock up on gorgeous dresses. Whether you prefer pretty prints, playful pleats, or lovely lace, we've found styles that'll make flaunting your curves easy. And the rainbow of fresh, vibrant hues will put your go-to neutrals to shame!
Before you get started, check out these handy shopping tips from Natural Model Management Founder Katie Willcox and plus size model Jeanna Sabatino:
1. Dress for your body type and work with your curves!
2. Lengthen your neckline with a V-shape collar.
3. Avoid thick, bulky materials. Go for something durable, but not too flimsy.
4. Select dark, solid tops. Any pattern in the blouse should be near the top to draw attention away from your midsection.
5. Choose a dress that has shape built into it! Empire dress or a dress with darts at the hips and breasts can give the illusion of a smaller waist. A full skirt will give the appearance of an hourglass shape. Accentuate the waist with wrap styles.
6. Accessorize with fresh makeup, feminine jewelry, pops of color, dark belts to give the waist an hourglass look! Jackets should be cinched at the waist. And always wear your Spanx!
7. Lengthen legs with a sandal with a chunky heel, wedges or Mary Janes for a daytime look. Switch to high heels at night –especially a nude pump! And believe it or not, a pointed toe can add a slimmer look to your waistline.
8. Don't go for overly sexy (too much cleavage or too short). Think timeless, classic, and chic.

As solar farms become an ever-familiar sight across Wiltshire, amateur photographer John Phillips snapped this bird's eye view over Broughton Gifford.
His picture, taken from a 1947 three-seater Auster aircraft, shows the 22-hectare development being installed off Norrington Lane in the village.
Mr Phillips, from Semington, regularly takes to the skies in his friend's plane, and he said: "We happened to be flying by and I was snapping away and I saw the development.
"They do stand out, but if the sun isn't on them they do tend to look from a distance like a lake.
"They don't show if you are driving along a road, but if you get a bit of height it would really stand out, so I can see people's concerns with it."
Installation work on the solar farm, which when completed will provide enough power for 2,700 homes, has been under way since March, and is expected to be completed by the end of June.

RNA editing makes us human, suggests a report in New Scientist, 29 January 2005, p13. RNA editing is a process that changes genetic information after it has been copied onto a molecule called messenger RNA, which carries the information to the protein making machinery in the cell. One editing process changes adenosine molecules to inosine. This kind of editing occurs commonly in RNA from regions called Alu sequences, which were thought to be genomic junk. A team of scientists at Tel Aviv University carried out a survey of these RNA edits in corresponding messenger RNAs in humans and other species, and found that humans had over ten times more edits than mice, rats, chickens and flies. This could be because humans have more Alu sequences. The function of the RNA editing has yet to be understood, although previous studies have shown it is most common in brain tissue. This has led some scientists to speculate that RNA editing gave humans their complex brains and may explain why mice and humans are so different, when they have similar numbers of genes.
Editorial Comment: This study reminds us that comparing DNA between human and any other species does not actually explain any differences between the species. It certainly does not explain the origin of any species. Popular claims that humans are 95 - 99 percent the same as chimpanzees on the basis of similarities in DNA are therefore meaningless.
This study also confirms claims made by Creation Research that "junk DNA" is there for a purpose, and is not an evolutionary leftover. We predict that when RNA is further studied it will reveal even more differences between humans and other species. (Ref. prediction, evolution, gene expression)

A small city in the middle of vancouver island on its Eastern coast in British Columbia Canada. It used to be once known as "the salmon capital of the world" until the salmon mysterioulsy dissapeared. the city, (known for partying because thats all there is to do here) contains a large healthy population of donkeys and skanks which seem to be doing better than the salmon because they are becoming predominatly more common. these skanks seem to have a lot of campbell river pride. when asked where they are from they answer "campbell river, wanna giver?", campbell river may further been known as "the donkey capital of the world" yet this still remains to be seen. Tim hourtons, local drug dealers, the Voodoo, bootlegger, and the real canadian superstore are its hot spots.
i was going to campbell river to go fishing but all i caught was the clat from some donkey slut who asked if i wanted to "giver"

Force India pair Paul di Resta and Adrian Sutil look ahead to the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal
- Home
- MotoGP
- Championships
- Forums
- CrashTV
- Live
Paul, Monaco was a mixture of emotions for you, but you picked up points in the end with an impressive recovery drive...
Paul di Resta:
I think it's a sign of our competitiveness that we were a bit disappointed with ninth. I definitely felt we had the performance to be higher up the points, but the issues in qualifying put us on the back foot. That's the thing with Monaco, it's all about track position, but I did enjoy a few overtaking moves into turn one. Although more was possible I'm still happy to continue my run of points finishes.
Canada will be the team's 100th race - do you think you can give the team something to celebrate?
Paul di Resta:
We've been competitive on every track this year and that's a credit to the team, so we expect to be at our usual level once again. It's traditionally a track that has suited us, so we go there confident that we can fight towards the front once again. 100 races is a significant achievement and it's great to see how much the team has grown during that time. It's a credit to the commitment of the shareholders and hopefully we can give them something to smile about come Sunday evening.
Tell us about the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve?
Paul di Resta:
It's an unusual track but tends to produce exciting racing with some really good overtaking opportunities. It's tight, because it's a street course, so it's another track where there is no margin for error. Straight-line speed is important, as is a car that's stable under braking and capable of riding the curbs well.
Adrian, how good did it feel to finish fifth in Monaco - your best result in the principality...
Adrian Sutil:
It felt very nice. After four difficult races I was ready to get this result. We had several missed opportunities, but I tried my best to stay positive because I could see the potential of the car. So it felt very good to have a race where I could deliver a strong result. But it was not the easiest of weekends for me because I lost track time on Saturday and I damaged my front wing on the first lap of the race. So, all things considered, it was very satisfying to come away with fifth place.
Some commentators named you driver of the day for your 'cheeky' overtaking moves at the hairpin...
Adrian Sutil:
I had the feeling from the first lap onwards that there was a possibility to pass cars at this corner. After the restart, when all the cars were bunched up, I saw the gap and went for it. I got ahead of Jenson first and then Fernando as well. Overtaking always feels good, but in Monaco it's extra special because you have to judge things perfectly.
What about Montreal? Do you think you will go well there?
Adrian Sutil:
It's definitely one my favourite races on the calendar because it's a great city. It's also an interesting and unusual track, and it can be a long race with different scenarios and strategy options. I like the circuit, but for some reason I've never had good results there. Hopefully we can change that this year.
