Q. When is the White Tortilla restaurant at East Chapman Avenue and South Hewes Street opening? I read in the paper it was supposed to open in January, but it still isn't open.
–Ann Swingen, Orange
A. Register food reporter Nancy Luna did indeed report back in January that the White Tortilla Kitchen would be opening later that month.
Since March, Lady Orange has been trying to track down an answer for Swingen on what the holdup has been. A couple calls and an email weren't returned.
But in the first week of April, the restaurant posted a grand opening date on its Facebook page: April 26. According to the flier, the event will feature music and prizes, and the Gomez family will be there serving up its original recipes.
A little background on the restaurant for those who don't know:
White Tortilla Kitchen opened in the El Modena neighborhood in the 1950s as part of a general store run by Ramon Gomez. In the 1960s, the restaurant took over the entire storefront and was given its name, White Tortilla Kitchen. It was a local favorite, serving up homestyle Mexican food.
But more than 20 years later, White Tortilla was forced to closed when Chapman Avenue was being widened. The family continued to own the property, though, and announced earlier this year White Tortilla would be coming back to its original corner.
Q. What's being built on the corner of Frontera Street and Glassell Street? It used to be a sports bar, but now it's just a big black building that's under construction.
–Mary Ann Mecke,
A. That intersection technically lies in the boundaries of Anaheim, but it's just about a block north of the Orange-Anaheim border, so Lady Orange decided to extend her purview for a week.
The building that once housed Press Box Sports Bar and Grill is in the process of being renovated to become the new home for a nightclub, said Anaheim spokeswoman Ruth Ruiz.
Xalos Bar, which currently operates at 1160 N. Kraemer Blvd., will be relocating to the 9,000-square-foot space at 480 N. Glassell St. It will share a parking lot with the Embassy Suites Hotel.
The Anaheim Planning Commission approved the move in January 2013, Ruiz said. The new Xalos is expected to open in the summer.
Goodbye, Bertha: About a month ago, a feature on the Orange Lionettes adorned the cover of the Orange City News and prominently quoted former pitcher Bertha Ragan Tickey. The Lionettes were Orange's championship softball team from 1936 to 1975.
Lady Orange is sad to report that Ragan Tickey died last week at the age of 91, according to her family.
Among her accomplishments on the Lionettes, Ragan Tickey threw 100 no-hitters and 42 perfect games in 1954, a fete that landed her in Ripley's Believe It or Not. She's been inducted into the National Softball Hall of Fame, as well as the halls of fame in Orange County, Fresno, Clovis and Connecticut.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: UND 87, Sacramento State 57
UND's 87-57 win over Sacramento State on Saturday can't be categorized as routine. It was far from it.
But UND will take any type of win this late in the season as North Dakota kept itself in good position to win the Big Sky Conference regular-season title. The Green and White improved to 13-4 in the league and 18-8 overall.
Also, it was UND's second-straight 30-point league win — the other coming Thursday against Northern Arizona.
"That tells you we're playing pretty good basketball together," said UND coach Travis Brewster.
UND's win, coming before 1,572 fans at The Betty, was unique because of the following:
n North Dakota did not attempt a 3-point shot. It's not certain, but UND may have never played a game without attempting at least one 3-pointer.
n UND went 20-for-24 from the field in the second half. And if there was a shot beyond 15 feet, it wasn't by much. "I think we took one from 15½ feet," said Brewster.
n Substitutions were early and often. Sacramento State often subbed five players at a time. "I thought we were playing half hockey, half basketball the way the subbing was going," said UND senior Allyssa Wall.
In the end, however, UND executed its game plan to near perfection against a team that shook things up in the league earlier this season.
Sacramento State plays an up-tempo style of basketball, featuring a pressure defense while emphasizing 3-point shooting.
UND lost 110-104 in overtime earlier this season in Sacramento. During the rematch, UND decided not to get into a transition game with the Hornets — instead breaking Sacramento's pressure defense and holding the ball deep into the shot clock for an easy inside shot.
"With 12 seconds left (on the clock), it was time to figure out a way to score," said Brewster. "And we have good enough basketball players who can make plays."
UND placed five players in double figures, led by Madi Buck's 20 points. Mia Loyd added 18, while guard Leah Szabla and Wall finished with 15 and 11, respectively.
Early on, UND's patience on offense — which bordered on a delay game — frustrated UND fans.
"We didn't need 3-pointers; we just needed easy bunnies," said Buck. "Early on, the crowd was like, 'Shoot, shoot.' But they figured it out. There was a method to our madness."
UND lead the whole game, taking a 38-23 lead into halftime.
Buck, Wall and Loyd powered UND's offense early in the second half. In the first 3½ minutes, UND went on a 12-6 run and led 50-29 with 16:24 to go.
Sacramento State's 3-point game wasn't on, either. The Hornets, led by Fantasia Hilliard's 13 points, finished 9-for-45 from beyond the arc and shot 29 percent overall. The Hornets have attempted 940 three-pointers this season.
Sacramento State's style has frustrated teams this season. But the league has adjusted, slowing down the game's pace and not allowing the Hornets to launch 3-pointer after 3-pointer. The Hornets have now lost four of their last five.
The Hornets' style can be frustrating for an opponent.
"We're used to it now," said Wall. "The Big Sky is a pretty physical conference and they're a small, quick, shooting team. They'll do whatever they can to get physical with us. At first, you get a little annoyed but as you keep going you get used to it."
UND, which honored seniors Buck, Wall and Katie Houdek on their final regular-season game, now has three straight on the road — starting Thursday at Portland State.
North Dakota didn't get any help Saturday as Montana and Southern Utah both improved to 11-5 with road wins.
That, however, didn't put a damper on UND's day.
"That was really special, to go out and execute a game plan like that on Senior Night," said Wall. "It was a total team win."

Twisted Metal
Review by carkeet
"Excellent new offering catering to both die-hard fans and a new generation of gamers"
Let me start by saying that after 11 years of waiting a for a new home console originated Twisted Metal I had extremely high hopes and excitement coming into it. I followed David Jaffe's blog closely as more and more information came out about the game but still didn't quite know what to expect once it was released.
Game Play:
Overall game play is spot-on classic Twisted Metal with modern improvements. You have the speed and excitement of the classic TM games, with a modern frame rates and dynamic camera options. The physics of the vehicles are the most refined of the series. It is still without an doubt an arcade style driving game but you don't get the sense that the physics are so unrealistic that it's absurd. Driving controls play very close to the Need For Speed series which provides for exciting gameplay without having to worry about where your e-brake is.
Story Mode:
My initial impression was mostly confusion because I was expecting an identical story mode system we've had in all the other TM games. This is not the case, however, as there are only three playable story mode characters which you play through in order (each taking 33% of the story plot). Despite the major change, I completely agree with this decision. Eat, Sleep, Play clearly put all available resources into one linear story mode with three characters, rather than a redundant and repetitive story mode which would be played with every character in the game.
Overall the story mode that is in the game is excellent and very fun. This main story mode is substantially longer than any other story mode in a past Twisted Metal, again, the only difference is you don't play it with multiple characters over and over. I recall my high school days playing through Twisted Metal: Black as every character, and while that was a challenge and fun, at time it was very tedious, and not enjoyable. Because you have the choice over several vehicles for each story mode character, this game's story mode resolves that issue as provides a much more flexible and dynamic story mode overall.
Multi-player is where the game really shines. Playing local multiplayer with friends is as fun as ever. The eight maps are HUGE and each map has a selection of large sub-maps. The sub-maps are at times even better for multi-player because they are very well thought out, providing interesting layouts to encourage the use of strategy rather than just run and gun. With two local players you can do local muti-player with bots, and you can have up to four players for multiplayer without bots.
Online muti-player shines even more. You can choose from a variety of death match modes, all of which offer different twists to how the winner is determined. The large size of the maps solvers the problems we saw with Twisted Metal Black Online because there's more places to hide and locate yourself for strategic purposes. You will also find that the online system to rank you with other equally skilled opponents works extremely well to assure that a fight is fair. It becomes clear during online play that the developers really made a great effort to assure that all the vehicles are evenly matches so as to not give an unfair advantage to the largest vehicles as you probably saw in the previous games.
With refined graphics, excellent physics, and extremely large maps, this game is the Twisted Metal installment many have been waiting for. Multiplayer in this game really bridges the gap between modern online gaming and the classic Twisted Metal world many of us grew up with and love. I can confidently say that is the best Twisted Metal installment in the series. My only complaint, and it is a small one, is that I wish they had included a few more of the classic vehicles in the game (Twister, Spectre), that aside, this is the perfect Twisted Metal game for me.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

A Pennsylvania woman won nearly $1 million playing slots at the Borgata this week — on her birthday.
The woman, from Bensalem, Pa., wished to remain anonymous.
A statement from the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa said that the woman was celebrating both her and her cousin's birthday Monday night. She had only played $50 when she hit a jackpot of $924,231.89 on a $1 "Wheel of Fortune" progressive slot machine.
Borgata quoted the woman as saying she didn't know what happened until the woman two seats across from her yelled out that she had hit the jackpot.
"I'm still in shock," the woman is quoted as saying.
The near-million dollar payout was the third time in two months that there has been a major jackpot at the Borgata.
On New Year's Eve, a Maryland man won $3.8 million on a similar "Wheel of Fortune" slot machine, and in January, Aubrey G. Hart Jr., of Virginia, won $250,000.
The Borgata said it has paid out more than $5 million in slot jackpots over the past seven weeks.

Posted: Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 | Jason La Canfora Tags: Jason La Canfora, Week 8 preview
I'm calling it right now: Blowout week is over. We got that out of our system. Week 8's slate of games is pretty exciting. Out of 13 games, there are six that are highly compelling. Not a bad ratio at all.

Charles III married JOSEPHINE BAYETTE in about 1834. She was born between 1808 and 1818 in Quebec or France, and died in Brockville on July 4, 1897. According to family legend told within the DeYoung-LaPoint line, Josephine came from Normandy from a well-to-do family to marry in 1834 and had many trunks and baggage as a dowry. By marrying a "back-woodsman" from Canada, she relinquished her family heritage in France.

In 1871 when engaged as a builder of the Presbyterian Church in Hammond, Charles would row each day across the Saint Lawrence from Brockville. In the spring of that year with his wife and two children on board, his boat almost capsized into the frigid current. Charles decided to move his family to North Hammond, Saint Lawrence, NY. He built a house on a big bend of Chippewa Creek south of a forested hill in the probable area of Sand Street Road, where he purchased land in 1872. Charles became an American citizen at Canton on February 29, 1876.
In about 1880 Charles worked as a carpenter in the building of Pullman's Castle Rest at Alexandria Bay. At about that time, he moved his family to Church Street in Alexandria Bay, where he built a small double house. Charles died there of nephritis on May 28, 1883 and was buried in Brockville. Most records of the 1870s and 1880s, including census and land records as well as his death certificate, list him as Charles D. Young.
On September 22, 1856 at St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church in Brockville by the Rev. Oliver Kelly, Charles IV married CATHERINE GERU, daughter of LOUIS or LUTE GERU and MARY ROSE (ROSE) HAMILTON, whose father came from Ireland.

Charles was born in about 1844 in Yonge Township, Leeds, Ontario, Canada, and died of consumption in Brockville, October 24, 1882. The couple lived during the 1870s in Prattsburgh, Steuben, NY. (Virginia's great-granddaughter, C. A. Yost, lived in Edison, NJ across the street from the family of A. John Calhoun during the 1960s.

The Israeli government is proud of the agreement it struck that led to the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit today after five years of imprisonment, but don't expect any change in its approach to Hamas, Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren told The Cable today.
"Hamas remains a terrorist organization. It doesn't meet any of the Quartet's criteria for negotiating. Its charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and the annihilation of the Jewish people worldwide. It's a genocidal organization," Oren said in an interview. "Hamas itself is not saying it's a partner for peace talks. That's not in the bargain."
The deal to trade Shalit for 1,027 Palestinian prisoners was mediated by the Egyptian government and German mediators; no further deals or indirect interactions between the Israeli government and Hamas are in the works.
Those prisoners included Nasser Yateima, who was imprisoned for his role in a 2002 suicide bombing at an Israeli hotel on Passover, Walid Abdel-Hadi, who was involved in several attacks including a 2002 suicide bombing in a Jerusalem cafe that killed 11, and Ahlam Tamimi, who participated in bombing of a Sbarro's restaurant in Jerusalem in 2001 where 16 died.
Oren said the reason that the Israeli government took the risk of releasing so many dangerous prisoners was due to the unwritten social contract between the state and the people that Israel will do everything in its power to recover captured citizens.
"This deal goes to the very heart of the relationship between the State of Israel and the army of Israel. At the end of the day, yes, there's a heavy price to pay here, but as a result of Gilad Shalit's release, are we more motivated to go out and defend our country? Unquestionably, yes," he said. "That's the true strategic value, not just the humanitarian value, of what we've done."
But why did Hamas make the deal, in Oren's view?
"I think they're weak, weakened by the situation in Syria. They have been weakened by the situation in Gaza, where there's been a complete implosion of support for them in Gaza, where the economic situation is deplorable," he said.
Oren said that this weakened position led to a steady decline in Hamas' demands over the past two and a half years, which created a situation that made the terms of the deal amenable to Israel. Oren argued that the success of the deal does not strengthen Hamas, either in Gaza or with regard to their competition with the Palestinian Authority led by President Mahmoud Abbas.
"They may celebrate for a few hours, but the people in Gaza are going to wake up tomorrow in the same position that were in today, and that's not a very favorable position at all," Oren said. "There's no obscuring that fact…. It's not a victory for them."
Despite some criticism inside Israel against the government for striking the deal, Oren said that the takeaway lesson of today's events is that the current Israeli government is capable of making hard and painful decisions — and can deliver if there's a fair deal on the table. He also said that the reaction of the Palestinians to the deal highlights a fundamental difference between the two peoples.
"Today's events really showed a gap between Israeli society and Palestinian society. We celebrated life. They celebrated death," Oren said. "They celebrated the release of people who have killed dozens of men, women, and children. And it's a huge ethical difference."

And does anyone know how long Will and Erin have been going out? And do they currently live in the same area or are they doing the bi-coastal relationship thing?
It's sad that we'll probably never know what really happened, but I think it's safe to say, the last day or so in the BB house, Will wasn't himself. Whether it was Erin, Janelle, or whatever, I think it's safe to say he didn't just give up the game because he knew he was beat. He'd been beaten too many other times in the game, both season 2 and this season, and he didn't give up. Nope, something made him act the way he did and it may have been love, but being the sappy romantic at heart, I kinda like that we don't know if his feelings for Janelle were real or not. But I can guarantee you her feelings for him were real. You don't get that kind of revenge if you're just having fun flirting with someone.

Are these symptoms of Menopause?
Am I experiencing Perimenopause?
What should I expect from HRT?
Doctor, Are these symptoms of Menopause?
Q: My gynecologist tried to give me an endometrial biopsy as I had experienced some extremely small spotting between periods. I am 55 & beginning perimenopause (according to blood tests my gynecol. took). I have no symptoms of any kind or any other problems gynecologically or related to menopause. I am in very good health. He was unable to do the procedure as my cervix is narrow (I had one childbirth by C-section at age 38). Sometime later he scheduled a saline ultrasound and what he was able to see was fine but he once again couldn't see everything for the same problem of narrow cervix. He now wants to do a D&C. Unfortunately, I have had very bad experiences in hospitals, plus had 2 relatives die unexpectedly after going in them. I know you can't give advice but do you think I should get this procedure as I am afraid that it will involve cramping (as I have always had extremely severe cramping after other procedures such as a hyserosalpingogram years ago). Whenever I have been told a procedure is painless, I have found that to be not true in my particular case. I am an educated health professional who has undergone many tests in my lifetime, which on looking back seem needless as to the emotional and physical stress involved. Thank you for reading this. Your input will be appreciated.
A: Intermenstrual bleeding or spotting are signals for further analysis especially in the age of 50+. Vaginal echoscopy, endometrial biopsy and saline infused sonography are the easiest way to come to a diagnosis. But in about 5% of all women, these procedures are impossible because of a narrow cervical canal. Hysteroscopy under local or general anesthesia is the next step. Another way, with somewhat less certainty, but acceptable, is to test the endometrial situation with adequate amounts of cyclic progestagens. With progestagen (2.5 or 5 mg norethindrone or 10-20 mg MPA) in the second half of the cycle (day 15-24 or 26) one can regulate the periods. When intermenstrual bleeding is over with such a regimen, the likelihood of endometrial pathology is extremely low. With persistent intermenstrual bleeding in such a regimen, a hysteroscopy and D&C is absolutely necessary.
Q: I am a 33 year old woman. I discontinued birth control pills 10 months ago hoping to try to conceive. I have not a period since that time. I have however been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and currently am being treated for about two months. I had an MRI which showed a small mass in my pituitary gland. The doctor said it was small and I should come back in three months to make sure it was not a tumor. My estrogen tests have also been low. I have tried Prometrium and Premphase to induce withdrawal bleeding, but they did not produce periods. What should I do next?
A: This is not a question of menopause. This is an endocrinological disease, probably an adenoma in the pituitary gland. The treatment for desired pregnancy depends on the several hormonal systems involved with a pituitary disorder. Please consult a gynecologic reproductive endocrinologist/fertility specialist.
Q: I am 35 and have experienced changes in cycles such as over the past few years have noticed a great decrease in men. cycle. Within the last year have developed adult acne, some weight gain, night sweats(1 or 2 days a month, especially right before my cycle or at ovulation.) Also hot flush feelings at times. My cycles are only a length of about 36 hours or so. And within my last cycle only 2 weeks later I began to spot some, which I have NEVER done before. I'm starting to wonder if I could be showing signs of perimenopause? I just had a complete physical and all is well. I also wondered does menopause have anything to do with heritage?. My mom was in full menopause by the age 42. Thanks.
A: The menopause (date of last menstrual period) is determined mainly (for 85%) by genetics. With your mother in early menopause, it is likely that you will experience early menopause too, but it is not absolutely certain. Many women experience changes in their periods long before perimenopause starts.
Please check-out this article related to your question, "Perimenopausal Bleeding - what's normal?" by Paul D. Indman, MD
Q: I have been suffering from a severe vaginal inflammation. I am 66 and have had this for several years but not this severe. No discharge but severe vaginal burning. Is this part of being old?
A: This symptom is probably caused by atrophy. Local estrogens can be helpful in this condition. Burning without discharge can also be a symptom of several diseases, as lichen sclerosus or VIN (vulvar intraepihelial neoplasia). If the symptoms persist with the use of estrogens further analysis is necessary.
Q: I have panic and anxiety disorder for which I take lorazepam (3 mgs daily). I've recently had a hysterectomy (TVH/BSO) and am finding that my anxiety is much worse. Is this directly related to the hysterectomy?
A: The reason for hysterectomy, and the circumstances around the hysterectomy can also be important for the reaction. Maybe it is the bilateral oophorectomy and the estrogen deficiency when BSO was performed before menopause. But usually panic and anxiety disorders has to be treated accordingly and not with hormones.
Q: Last month I was diagnosed as having premature menopause, at the age of 35. My estrogen level was 43, FSH also very low, can't remember what it was. My last normal period was October 6, 2001. I have an eleven year old daughter and had a miscarriage five years ago. I did see an endocrinologist following hormone level tests, and will see him again in January to discuss the results of more elaborate tests I had done and also to discuss hormone replacement therapy. If I were not going through menopause, my period would have been due last week.. I am now experiencing lots of pelvic cramping, fatigue, and most significantly, nipple tenderness--to the point that it wakes me up at night. Are these symptoms that are part of the perimenopausal phase, or is it possible that I could be pregnant?
A: Low FSH is NOT compatible with menopause. You experience a so called hypogonadotropic hypoestrogenic condition. Your endocrinologist will certain look at several systems for the cause. With menopause very high FSH levels are observed.
Q: I am a 41 year old woman and think I may be experiencing menopause symptoms. Many women in my family went through menopause between the ages of 38 and 45. My question is, can fever be a sign of menopause? I have had a fever for almost two weeks between 99.2 and 99.6 degrees- the first week before my period and the week of my period. Can this extended fever be associated with menopause?
A: No, it is not.

THOUSANDS of women workers across Britain could be in line for massive payouts
following a historic court judgment yesterday on equal pay.
A group of 174 former cleaners, cooks and care assistants took legal action
against Birmingham City Council.
Women were on the same pay grade as men who worked as street cleaners, binmen,
road workers and grave diggers. But they were not paid as much because they
missed out on bonuses.
Judges in London's Supreme Court yesterday gave the ex-employees, named the
Abdulla Group, the go-ahead to seek compensation. It could top £2million.
A thousand more female former council employees are now poised to launch legal
But the ruling also opens the floodgates for thousands of other women
discriminated against in a similar way. Before yesterday's ruling former
staff could only apply for compensation within six months of leaving their
The Supreme Court judgment means equal pay claims can be heard in the High
Court as well as an employment tribunal — and extends the period to six
Birmingham City Council spent an estimated £1million fighting the claims. It
has now lost at the High Court, Appeal Court and Supreme Court with seven
judges against and only two in favour.
The women claim the money would have been better spent settling their claims
instead of fighting them. Former Birmingham City Council home help Joan
Clulow, 71, said she felt "absolutely gutted" when the pay gap with men was
She added: "The way the council treated us is abominable."
Chris Benson, a partner at legal firm Leigh Day & Co, which represented
the workers, said: "This is a great day for equality and for all those women
massively underpaid over many years within public and private organisations.
"Birmingham Council should now do the decent thing and settle the claims."
Sarah Ozanne, an employment specialist at law firm CMS Cameron McKenna, said:
"The Supreme Court's decision has serious ramifications for employers.
"This is a significant development in current equal pay laws, and leaves
employers open to the threat of claims long after the employment has ended."

MICROSOFT HAS had a nasty surprise in the mail from m'learned friends representing the winners of the anti-trust case that the behemoth paid more than $1.1 billion to settle [Surely Seattle? Ed]. It transpires that the briefs did not provide their services on a cheap rate and are now demanding that the softly spoken and reserved MS CEO Steve Ballmer open his cheque book and pay them $258 million.
Under the settlement struck last year, Microsoft agreed to pay vouchers to 13 million California businesses and consumers, with any unclaimed amount going to the state's school system. Microsoft was also told that they would have to foot the legal bill for the victor's lawyers. But Vole briefs were back in court this week to protest at some of the costs that m'learned friends on the other side a firm were trying to charge.

Reaching Your Goals with a CDA certification
If you love working with children, and are in search of a rewarding career that won't take years of college to obtain, you might consider earning a CDA certification in child development. This certification can take you many places towards your career goals, and many times begins at a nearby child daycare center.
Definition of a Child Development Associate
A CDA certificate is generally needed to work in any childcare setting, whether it be a daycare, medical, counseling, or court and legal facilities. Wherever you want your career to go, it will begin in this area with a CDA certificate that allows you to work with children. The certification acknowledges that you are prepared and knowledgeable in child care and development.
A person who is CDA certified is recognized as a specialist in child care development. If you are seeking CDA certification to further your career, or if your present employer requires that you receive certification, there are some requirements that you must meet in order to apply for your certification.
Every CDA certification is approved through the state in which you plan to work, but also the Council for Professional Recognition, in Washington, D.C. which issues and renews certifications. There are three types of CDA certifications: center-based settings, family child care settings, and home visitor settings. Each certification has the same basic requirements, but the training will vary slightly depending on the type of job you hold. Many daycare facilities require center-based setting certification, while many state and legal agencies require field workers who have training in family or home settings.
You are not required to have a degree in order to be CDA certified. Most community colleges offer child development classes that will lead to certification, or, if you currently work in a child care setting, stepping up to a CDA position may be possible. In fact, many employers will require that you receive certification before working directly alone with children.
CDA Certification Requirements
In order
to apply for CDA certification, you must be at least 18 years old, have a high school diploma or GED, and completed 120 hours of classes (12 college hours) on the subjects required. You will be assigned an observer while you are in training, and the hours will be documented and noted by the observer. Once completed, you will be required to pass a basic written and oral exam, sent to you by the governing council. If the council is confident you display the competency required in child development, you will be issued a CDA certificate, renewable every three years. The study and training are completed in about 12 months.
Application for a CDA Certification
During the application process, you will be judged on your level of competency displayed in child care development knowledge, your ability to care for children, your advisor's observations, and parents observations. These are generally questionnaires sent home with parents who will grade you according to their opinions of how you handle children. These notes will be a part of your application to the council, along with documentation of your completed courses of study. The competency standards you will be judged on are safety, health, learning environment, communicative, creativeness, social, guidance, family, professionalism, and management abilities.
You will be required to include an application fee when applying for your certification. The process may take several weeks before your CDA certification is approved and received. You may find several online classes available for certification. In addition, there is a one-year certification program available for those who have never worked, or not currently employed in a job that directly cares for children. It is also available through the council for certification for a fee, and must be renewed for the three-year certification once your hours of experience are logged.
For more information regarding a CDA certification. visit your college counselor, child care employer, or contact the Council for Professional Recognition, 2460 16th Street NW, Washington, DC 20009-3575, or online at www.cdacouncil.org.Source: cdacertification.net

Hi, this is my very first time DMing so be gentle and help out where you can. On a side note, if any one would be willing to be a Co-DM/Player just to make sure I am balancing the party against the enemies correctly, handing out XP and loot effectively & generally not running the game into the ground it would be HIGHLY appreciated. Now then for the crunchy bits
Character Creation
Starting Level: 1st level
Wealth: Standard (Rolled) + 1000 (Masterworked Items are fine, but nothing to Magical yet)
Stats: 8M4d6+2^3r1 - drop the two lowest then you may reroll one stat (You keep that new stat for better or worse). If your Modifiers dont total at least 8 you may make one reroll, alternatively, use a 32 point buy.
Races: Anything from the valid sources, If it has a +1 LA (Goliath, Tiefling, Aasimar, Ect) that is fine but expect to pay for it with your second level.
Alignment: I feel this is restricting & stupid so we wont bother with alignment, rather have a good, clear personality. But if it can be helped try not burning down every village you come across or raping & murdering every person you see everything will have consequences, so I may just decide to say screw balance and have your character teleported directly into a cage in the ninth ring of hell to be a pack of Balors to be used as a sex toy, which could be pretty rough .

|Full Name: New Balance 850 (MR or WR – Mens or Womens)
|Category: Stability
|Weight: 11.9 oz (340 gr.)
|Suggested Price: 115$
|Recommended For: Modest to Severe Over Pronator
New Balance 850 General Info:
The New Balance 850 is the update of the New Balance 859 (NB always had a curious numbering system). The new 850 is a complete makeover of the 859, with the aim to accommodate moderate to severe over-pronators.
New Balance 850 Sole Unit:
The biggest, visible change in the NB 850 is New Balance's new Stabil Core "posting" element. When looking to improve the stability and motion control of a shoe, the industry standard practice is to "post" a harder foam compound in the midsole of the shoe in the area below the medial (internal) side of the foot's arch – it is easily recognizable as the darker insert on the internal side of the midsole. New Balance decided to introduce its Stabil Core system (picture below) instead, replacing the harder foam compound post with a plastic element that gives the shoe the rigidity it needs in order to support the collapsing arch of an overpronator while sensibly cutting down on the weight, usually an issue with Stability shoes.
The cushioning is taken care by New Balance's Absorb DTS and SBS systems in the heel and forefoot – while the use of ACTEVA EVA foam as the main midsole component provides a stable but cushioned ride. Test showed that the cushioning is aimed at medium weight runners, while heavier runner might be in the need of a softer shoe.
A reasonably good plastic shank (Extended Web in NB terminology) wraps the under-arch of the midsole in order to provide torsional stability while also reducing some weight.
The outsole has a very similar pattern to the one in the NB 859, but the forefoot flex grooves (the horizontal carves) have been extended in order to provide a better forefoot flexibility and a more reactive toe-lift-off.
New Balance 850 Upper:
The upper hasn't been revolutionized as much as the sole unit, just upgraded. You will find the same mesh as in the previous version, but the overlays have been re-designed in a clever way. We like the way the new heel counter wraps around the midsole.
For the rest, all the newest NB features are included on the upper of this shoe: from the N-Lock system that connects the lacing with the midsole in order to wrap and securely lock the ankle in the shoe, to the Phantom Liner lining that is built seamlessly in order to reduce chaffing and abrasion. The lacing is engineered with the Sure Lace system that helps prevent the un-tieing of the laces.
The collar is double-density so that a softer compound cushions your foot while a harder one keeps it stable during the ride.
Finally, the NB 850 is built on the SL-1 new performance last, that received good feedback and that NB is placing in most their renewed models.
New Balance 850 Opinion:
The New Balance 850 is a good improvement over last year installment (859). The shoe is among the most stable (aiding controlling pronation) shoes on the market but still feels soft and flexible, especially in the forefoot. The amount of cushioning is decent but might be insufficient for heavier runners.
The introduction of the Stabil Core TPU insert is a welcome news, as the 850 delivers exceptional stability and reduced its weight.
The fit, as with most New Balance running shoes, accommodates wide feet – as is the case with many runners with flat feet who definitely should give the 850 a try.

IU associate head coach Tim Buckley understands the problem well. He has the scout for tonight's conference battle at the Illini's Assembly Hall. He knows that Paul almost single-handedly beat Ohio State last year when he scored 43 points. He recognizes the significance of the senior's 17.4 scoring average.
Stopping Paul, or at least slow him down, is a key.
"He's gonna hit some shots where you're just gonna shake your head and say, 'Wow, I thought he was covered,'" Buckley said. "'The defense played the coverage the right way if it's in the pick-and-roll or you're getting back in transition and you're draped all over him, and he can just rise up and shoot it.
"I don't think he has a range. I think it's limitless. I think he can shoot the ball really deep. When he's in that rhythm, anything that's up there looks like it's going in. I'd say he's as good of a shooter or a scorer as there is in the country when he's really got it going."
That's true of all the Illini, who spent the first two months of the season proving they were one of America's best teams and the last month showing they are not.
A 12-0 start has faded to a 15-8 disappointment that includes a 2-7 Big Ten record.
Under new coach John Groce, their curse and blessing is the three-point shot. During non-conference games they got the beyond-the-arc space to hit shots. In conference play, space disappears. They shoot just 32.8 percent on three-pointers, which is significant given they have taken more (555) than any other Big Ten team.
"When they're making shots and they're in their rhythm and they're playing the way that they want to play (offensively), they're probably playing better defensively and playing better on the backboards," Buckley said. "You can't let them get into that rhythm. I think they're very capable offensively, so they're going to make tough shots. You can't give them any of the easy shots."
Top-ranked Indiana (20-2, 8-1) has thrived because it gives up very little easy. Better defense and fast-break offense are two of its trademarks, and those figure to be in full display against an Illinois squad desperate to remain in NCAA tourney discussion.
"We know that we've got to play Illinois like (it is) the team that played early in the year and has played at its best," Buckley said. "Because they are very capable of that. They are a team that can score points. They can make threes. They can beat you off penetration. Our focus and our mindset defensively is going to be very important."
The Hoosiers need a victory to stay ahead of Michigan and Michigan State in the Big Ten race.
"We know going into Fighting Illini country will be major challenge," coach Tom Crean said. "We will be as good as our preparation, toughness and execution.
"John Groce and his staff can really coach. They play very, very hard. They are very aggressive on both ends."
Aggression figures to intensify given the Illini need a statement-making victory, and you can't make a bigger statement than beating the nation's No. 1 team.
Crean said the Hoosiers embrace being the target.
"The team has been down this road before. They know what it means to the opponent's fan base. They know what it means to the opponent. They know what that means on the national level."
Crean knows that the No. 1 ranking guarantees nothing. The top-ranked team has lost each of the last four weeks — Duke, Louisville, Duke again, and then Michigan.
"What has become so popular," Crean said, "is once that No. 1 vote is made, to predict who is going to be next, when are you going to lose and let somebody else get the No. 1 spot."
The key, he added, is having the right perspective.
"The more we understand the responsibility that comes with it, especially on the road and knowing that you are going to get the best shot from those teams. It is amazing what that number, whether it is a four, three two or one, what that does. What we have to do is make sure that we are better; that we are not trying to defend anything but the other team. We are not trying to prove anything except that we are going to get better."

Fruita places second at Mile High Classic wrestling tournament
Isaac Rodriguez and Jacob Seely won individual titles as Fruita Monument placed second at the 20-team Mile High Classic wrestling tournament Saturday in Denver.
Rodriguez ran his record to 22-4 by beating Palmer's Ryan Pellow 23-10 in the final at 145 pounds. He won his other three matches by scores of 17-7, 6-2 and 7-1.
Seeley (30-4) won all three of his matches at 170 by first-period pin, including a fall in 1 minute, 40 seconds in the final against Golden's Brad Blackstock.
Kaden Fife also reached the finals for the Wildcats, but Golden's Devin Rothrock (29-1) beat Fife by technical fall, 16-0, in the final at 152. Fife (28-10) reached the final with a pin and two major decisions.
Fruita also had two third-place finishers, Eli Konrad (22-15) at 106 and Ian Konrad (28-9) at 120, and two fourth-place finishers, Jared Seely (21-14) at 113 and Clayton Muller (32-10) at 132.
Wildcats coach Dan Van Hoose said the titles were expected from Rodriguez and Jacob Seely, and overall he was happy with his team's performance at a tournament Fruita won one year ago. The Wildcats finished with 154 points and Pueblo South won the team title with 181.5 points.
"They did well," Van Hoose said of his team. "We lost some tight ones. We were a little hot and cold at times. We started slow, but bounced back.
"Kaden (Fife) had a real good day, beat some tough kids to get in (the final). ... The Konrad brothers and Kaden Fife, I was really happy with them. I feel they stepped up and wrestled well."
Valley Classic: Paonia wrestlers reached the final in 10 weight classes and claimed six titles as the Eagles ran away with the team title of the 17-team Valley Classic hosted by Center High School.
Paonia finished with 302 points, Center was second with 220 and Del Norte third with 164. Nucla was eighth with 62.
Claiming titles for the Eagles were: Jesse Reed (13-2) at 113; Bo Pipher (28-4) at 126; Ty Coats (22-10) at 145; Morgan Rieder (26-1) at 182; Tyler Kendall (20-2) at 195; and Tony Darling (26-1) at 285. Reed, Pipher, Rieder, Kendall and Darling won their finals by pin and Coats edged Del Norte's Brennan Pacheco 9-7 for his title.
Finishing second for Paonia were: Dylan Stroud (13-17) at 132; Gunner Chesnik (22-10) at 138; Jorge Quinonez (23-10) at 160; and Joel Simianer (22-9) at 220.
Taking third for the Eagles were: Garrett Park at 113; Zach Milner at 152; and Matt Hayden at 170.
Valley High School Tournament: Palisade's Dalton Hannigan won the championship at 126 pounds and helped the Bulldogs to a sixth-place team finish at the 18-team Valley High School Tournament in Gilcrest. Valley won the tournament.
Palisade coach Brian Rush said the team finish was good, especially with the Bulldogs resting a couple of starters to get them healthy for the regional tournament in two weeks.
Hannigan won his final 11-8 over Holy Family's Joseph Prieto after scoring a pin and technical fall to reach the final.
The Bulldogs also got third-place finishes by Zane Stewart at 170 and Armando Cabriales at 220. Braxton Stewart joined them with only one loss on the day, but because he had five matches upon reaching the third-place match, CHSAA rules prohibited him from wrestling for third, so he settled for fourth.
Palisade's Kyauna Martinez (113) placed fifth, and Randen Espinoza (106), Quintin Day (120) and Erick Wilson (145) were sixth.
Boys basketball
Palisade rode the offense of Jacob Bollinger in the first half as it took a 27-14 lead on the way to a 55-41 win over Battle Mountain in a 4A Western Slope League game.
Bollinger scored 11 of this team-high 13 points in the first half, marking his first double-digit scoring effort of the season, according to Bulldogs coach Brian Tafel.
"He was awesome," Tafel said of Bollinger. "He shot the heck out of the ball. He really was our offense in the first half."
Tafel said the Bulldogs "wanted to come out with a lot of energy" against the Huskies, who played the night before, losing to league leader Delta. Although he thought his team was a little sloppy on offense aside from Bollinger, Tafel said Palisade did a good job on defense and dictated the pace. Battle Mountain was limited to eight points until hitting two 3-pointers to close the first half.
Leading Palisade's defensive charge was Caden Woods, of whom Tafel said, "He was all over the place and made play after play after play."
Jesus Aguirre added 12 points for the Bulldogs (11-4, 9-1).
Girls basketball
Cruz Maestas scored 23 points as Palisade defeated Battle Mountain 59-19.
Ashlyn Brown added 14 points for the Bulldogs (7-8, 6-4 league), who held Battle Mountain to zero points in the fourth quarter.

By Jim Roddy, Business Solutions president
Arriving in your mailbox in July will be BSM's Annual Guide To POS & Payment Processing Trends. We're especially proud because this year's guide features a handbook designed to help retail IT resellers transition from break/fix to the "as a Service" business model.
BSM Chief Editor Mike Monocello worked long hours to deliver this information to the channel – and I also want to give a big assist to the RSPA (Retail Solutions Providers Association).
One of the most important benefits BSM receives from our involvement in the RSPA is hearing first-hand from channel executives about our industry's most important trends and the biggest needs of resellers. This "as a Service" handbook wouldn't have been possible without hearing from the retail IT channel, and the message wouldn't have been as clear to us without the networking opportunities afforded by the RSPA.
I hope you find this handbook valuable, and I hope it can help us all in our quest to become more educated on this important trend. Feel free to send any of these links to your channel colleagues:
I also encourage you to register for our Channel Transitions VAR/MSP Executive Conference, an education and networking conference designed to help solution providers learn how to best implement and manage the "as a Service" model. Not surprisingly, the RSPA was the first to step forward to sponsor our event.

Hal Lindsey's books on end-time prophecies are selling by the millions at a rate usually associated with hamburgers. His jigsaw puzzle approach turns Biblical prophecies into a crystal ball through which he predicts with astonishing boldness the precise pattern of events which were supposed to occur by the end of the 1980s—the time when the present history of this world was supposed to end.
In Hal Lindsey's Prophetic Jigsaw Puzzle, Dr. Samuele Bacchiocchi analyzes five of the predictions which Lindsey made in 1970, showing how they failed to come to pass. The purpose of the book, however, is not merely to show the senselessness of Lindsey's sensational end-time scenario, but primarily to help Christians understand the true nature and purpose of Biblical prophecies. The author encourages the reader to look forward, not to the occurrence of impersonal events, but rather to the coming of our personal Savior Jesus Christ, our "blessed hope."
The book is written in a clear and simple style which the common person can understand. It has been favorably reviewed in numerous magazines and featured on radio talk-shows. An excerpt of the book was published in numerous religious periodicals and won the 1987 Associated Church Press Award for the category of "Best Feature Article."

About Philanthropy in Asia
Asia is hurtling through the world at high speed, creating wealth and developing opportunities in very unprecedented and dynamic ways. Yet, it remains home to two thirds of the world's poorest population and to growing inequalities, creating a need for philanthropy more so today than ever before.
Philanthropy is not new to Asia; generous community leaders have play a pivotal role in contributing to the common good, acting as champions for social projects that no one else supported.
Today, the landscape of giving in Asia has changed – yet not in all ways. Old issues require new perspectives, while new issues have emerged. A growing number of Asians, influenced by globalisation and empowered by new possibilities, see themselves playing a greater role in contributing to the betterment of Asia and the world.
It is in this vein that the Philanthropy In Asia (PIA), a network-based strategic initiative, was established. This 2-yearly exclusive by invitation-only event aims to mobilise Asian philanthropy to be not just expressions of altruism, but further to being impactful and sustainable agents of change.
PIA's mission is to be the platform for Asian philanthropy to network, learn, and collaborate in impactful and transformative giving. Our vision is that a new cadre of Asian Philanthropic leadership is impact-oriented, transparent and engaging, collaborative, and champions of best philanthropy practices.
Specifically, we hope to see PIA impact:
- The commitment from Asian philanthropists, foundations, and thought-leaders to impactful philanthropy;
- The formation of a vibrant, well-connected, multi-lateral, well-informed, and collaborative philanthropic community;
- The collaboration potential of strong relationships built from transparency, sharing, and interaction among this community.
Registration for PIA2014 is now closed.
All sessions of the Summit are closed to the media.
For guidelines and exclusive media interviews, please contact Rachel Chan at [email protected] or Su San at [email protected]. Please note that only accredited media is allowed to be in the premise.

When I run Axum_VS_2010.msi and I get to the page where it asks me to accept the EULA, if I select "I accept the terms" and press next, I get a pop up that says "Please wait while the installer finishes detrmining your disk space reguirements." But
it will continuie to do this for more than 15 minutes. It continues to do the same if I go back and start from the beginning.
How long does it take to compute the disk space requirements?
How do I get past this obstruction?
It should take a few seconds for that step of the installation, so there's something fishy going on. I'll let Artur get back to you on this problem, since I don't really know much about the installer.
The slowes part of the setup is usually the last step -- the execution of 'devenv.exe /setup'. Determining space requirements should not take that long.
I suggest running setup from the command line and creating a log file -- like this:
msiexec /i Axum_VS_2010.msi /lv log.txt
Log.txt usually have enough information to figure out what's going on.

A unique course, The MINES is a favorite of playersBo Van Pelt used every club in his bag en route to victory a year ago at The MINES Resort.October 26, 2012
Chris Reimer, PGA TOUR staff
This place is a gold mine! Well, almost.
The MINES Resort & Golf Club was built on top of the world's largest open cast tin mine in 1993, uniquely transforming a barren wasteland once rich in precious minerals into a world-class resort and golf course.
Through the vision of Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew, a Malaysian business tycoon, and the expertise of the famous architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr., The MINES Resort & Golf Club was built and polished into a 246-acre,18-hole track and was immediately left alone for a year to mature. The par-71 course now offers varying distances and shot lines that allow players with a variety of styles and games to thrive. The MINES Resort & Golf Club has played gracious host to both the 1999 World Cup, won by Tiger Woods and Mark O'Meara, and the 2000 Women's World Cup and 2003 Carlsberg Malaysian Open.
First-round leader and two-time PGA TOUR winner Troy Matteson said he hit every club except his 5-iron during his first 18 holes.
"The course is great," he said. "I hear great things from everybody about the course just because it's -- you've got to play your way around here. You can't just hit driver on every hole, you've got to make some decisions, you've got to hit some irons, you've got to hit some 3� woods. I think guys really enjoy that, whereas most of the courses we play all year are just hit the driver as far and as hard as you can. So I think guys really like it, and I know I certainly do."
After winning the CIMB Classic last year, Bo Van Pelt also mentioned hitting everything from driver to wedge.
"I hit every club in my bag out there," Van Pelt said. "There are birdies out there, but it is a good test of golf."
While several players agreed with Matteson, players also have the ability to try to overpower the course. Jeff Overton, who finished runner-up in 2011, said he was hitting his driver straight enough to swing it on nearly every tee box.
"This is a really fun course to play," Overton said. "We have so many options on this course. It is one of the more fun golf courses we play. You don't have to hit driver on every hole, but if you are hitting your driver straight you can be aggressive. I've been hitting this Cleveland Classic dead on the money lately, so I had a lot of scoring opportunities. I hit a 3-wood on No. 9 and hit driver on every other hole."
The name of the course itself references the land's former role as the largest open-cast tin mine in the world when Malaysia used to be the world's largest producer of tin. After mining ended in 1982, an expanse of depressions and lakes provided the perfect starting landscape for a golf course. Neighboring these lush, manicured greens and scenic fairways is a sparkling 150-acre lake that was created to fill the deepest part of the mine. Today, it serves as the golf course's centerpiece, with a scenic series of lakeside holes that begins with the 10th. Although the lake is a prominent feature, the front nine works through the hinterland, which provides a complementing balance.

We have been here before.
Better-than-expected growth statistics following on from a period of slump are encouraging, but by no means the end of uncertainty. It has been a long, slow tramp through the economic gloom, but is the UK finally emerging into the sunlit uplands of prosperity or could this be yet another false dawn?
A closer look at the drivers of growth in the last quarter perhaps offers some clues. It is encouraging that the huge service sector has grown by 0.6%, with a particularly strong showing by hotels and restaurants. This would tend to suggest consumers are feeling sufficiently confident about the future to splash out more.
Loading article content
Still, other vital sectors of the economy remain in the doldrums, with construction falling 2.5% in the first quarter, and manufacturing and exports barely improving; all in all, the signs of recovery are far from comprehensive.
What is more, yesterday's figure of 0.3% growth in the first three months of 2013 is merely a preliminary snapshot, an early estimate that will be subject to further revision when more data becomes available (though it does chime in with positive Scottish GDP growth figures for the last quarter of 2012, released last week).
Given the wafer thin numbers, it is no surprise they have been given such a cautious welcome by ministers who fear the apparent signs of recovery might once again be a mirage. A triple-dip recession, though now less likely, is still possible.
In spite of that, George Osborne and David Cameron will sleep just a little more easily in their beds following this latest fillip. They and their supporters will hope it will go some way to mollifying critics of their severe austerity programme, including the International Monetary Fund, which recently called in the Chancellor to relax his £130 billion package of spending cuts.
That is likely to be a vain hope. When Mr Osborne embarked upon the current programme of cuts three years ago it was with the stated overall aim of reducing the country's budget deficit, which had grown to the point where it threatened the UK's precious AAA credit rating. Three years on, progress on reducing the deficit has stalled and Britain has been downgraded by two credit ratings agencies anyway, in spite of the pitiless austerity programme.
Even though there has been a slight upturn in GDP in the first three months of this year, a loosening of fiscal constraints is required to help coax this weak flame into a blaze; Mr Osborne must heed those calls if he does not want his stubborn approach to be discredited for a third time by sliding GDP figures a few months from now.
Given all of that, the Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls is right to call it like it is, highlighting that the economy has effectively been flatlining for three years, but he and his Labour colleagues also have a responsibility not to talk away consumer confidence by adopting the mantle of doomsayers to score political points.
There is a chance the UK economy could finally be turning the corner and it is incumbent on politicians of all parties to handle this fragile potential recovery with the greatest care.

Styling products for flat ironing
I like to straighten my hair sometimes which I do with a blow out then flat iron. I'm currently using victoria secrets shine serum and Phytodefrisant botanical hair relaxing balm which I add to my wet hair right before blow drying it straight.
I want to try other products to see if anything else works better. These products give some control and lots of shine, but it also leaves my hair a little light and wispy and it won't hold curls if I try to curl it with my iron.
Does anyone know of any other good styling products to use when straightening hair. My hair is 3c and I don't want to use anything that might make my hair lose any natural curl when I go back curly.
I think Cortex Duo Flat Iron Set would be ideal for you. Its very nice hair product. It will lock in moisture and natural oils, keeping your hair healthier, shinier, and more beautiful. So go with it. Good luck. :)
I use a deep conditioner with a lot of slip. Then I apply MoroccanOil serum from root to tips. I always use tresseme heat protector spray. I am looking into a humidity blocker serum without alcohol
