But plastic pollution makes that essential work more difficult, said George Waldbusser, an ocean ecologist and biogeochemist at Oregon State University who was not involved in the study. And it adds to a growing list of stressors impacting oyster populations. The bivalves are also threatened by ocean acidification, oxygen dead zones, rising temperatures and climate change — all of which can be traced back to humans, he said.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Crossroads Kids Club, Rockford, IL, USA
As a Pastor, I am always looking for effective ways to reach out to our children and families in our community. Crossroads Kids Club has been an answer to our prayers! This program is a great way to reach our neighborhood kids in their public school with God's love and make an eternal impact in their lives. It also gives us an opportunity to meet and connect with their families.
Sharing bible stories, crafts, game time and snacks for 1 hour and a half every week brings hope to these children's hearts because they now know that there is someone who cares enough to tell them and show them that God loves them and that He has a great plan for their lives. The most rewarding part is that I can "see" the positive changes in these children.
There is nothing more satisfying than to know that you are part of a great ministry that "helped" a child become a "better version" of who God created them to be. As a church, we are called to go into all the world and share the gospel...what better way than to start with the children in your own local public school!

Review for Crossroads Kids Club, Rockford, IL, USA
Crossroads is the bridge God has given churches to reach the children in our communities with the love of God. Every church should serve their local public school in this manner.

The wire services were recently abuzz with news that the Massachusetts State Lottery game Cash WinFall was being (legally) gamed by, among others, a couple of retirees who'd claimed 1,105 of the 1,605 winning tickets during a particular week in May, and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology grad who cashed more than 500 winning tickets so far this year. As a result of this story, the spotlight has been turned on the integrity of lotteries across the country. In true lottery-luck fashion, the latest issue of Harper's magazine features a story by Nathaniel Rich titled The Luckiest Woman On Earth.
The lucky woman in question is Joan Rae Ginther, a 64-year-old born in Bishop, Texas, who now calls Las Vegas home. In 1993, Ginther won $5.4m in a pick-six Lotto Texas game. In 2006, Ginther won $2m on a scratch card game. In 2008, another lucky scratch card earned Ginther $3m. In 2010, Ginther won $10m, also via scratch card. Two of her scratch card winners were purchased in Bishop, while the third was purchased in neighboring Kingsville. Rich queried lottery experts for theories that might explain Ginther's amazing run, and uncovered a possible scenario that has little to do with luck.
Most high-end scratch card lotteries have a print run of around 3m tickets. The Texas Lottery divides these 3m tickets into six pools. When the first pool is close to selling out, the next pool is released to retailers. There are three grand prizes lurking somewhere amongst those 3m tickets. To ensure that all three jackpots aren't won early in the run (which would have a negative effect on sales), it's believed that lotteries hold back at least one, if not two, of these prizes for later pools. In each of Ginther's scratch card wins, the first grand prize was claimed by someone else during the release of the first pool, while Ginther claimed the second jackpot midway through the print run.
To game the system, you'd first need to identify the algorithm that determines which scratch cards are big winners. This would require access to historical data and a sharp mathematical mind. (The data is available via freedom of information requests from the state-run lottery, while Ginther is a Stanford School of Education grad that co-wrote a pre-algebra textbook.) A successful code-cracker couldn't conclusively identify a grand prize ticket in advance, but, much like card counting, it allows you to identify when the odds are more likely to be on your side.
Once you knew at what stage of the print run a winner was likely to appear, you'd then need to identify the retail locations where a specific range of tickets was to be shipped. Helpfully, Rich reports that Texas Lottery distributor GTech Holdings "processes its shipments in the same sequence for every order." By comparing the winning algorithm with the published locations where winners made their purchases, "you could figure out GTech's normal shipping order, and where [future] winners would be distributed around the state."
It would be even more advantageous if you waited until your research told you that a winning ticket was to be shipped to a sparsely populated area (like, say, Bishop, Texas). That would reduce the possibility that someone might buy the winner ahead of you. Of course, if you could convince a local retailer to put all of a particular game's tickets aside for you (and you alone), that would cut the odds even further. Some Bishop residents told Rich that Ginther had such a deal with Sun Bae (pictured at left), owner of the Times Market where Ginther purchased two of her scratch card multi-million winners.
When Rich paid a visit to Times Market, he found Bae to be an exceedingly reluctant interviewee (almost as publicity shy as Ginther herself). Store employees provided inconsistent stories on Ginther's ticket-buying habits then stopped answering questions altogether. As Rich was putting his article to bed, he learned that Times Market had abruptly closed down in June. An unnamed Bishop resident told Rich that the Internal Revenue Service had launched an investigation involving Bae and Ginther. The IRS declined to confirm the story.
Of course, Rich stresses that he has no evidence of anything beyond Ginther's incredible good fortune. But the director of another state's lottery told Rich that he "could bet on two things. One, [Texas Lottery is] doing a serious investigation. Two, they ain't going to let anyone find out about it." That second part might prove more difficult in the wake of the Massachusetts revelations. At any rate, these stories raise an interesting point: will people now start regarding the lottery, much as they do poker, as a game whose outcome depends more on skill than luck?

No matter what you celebrate at this time of year, it's holiday time and can create stress. So here are some thoughts about how to enjoy yourself;
Celebrating the Holidays
It's almost here. You can feel it in the air, the holidays are almost upon us and you feel absolutely panic stricken.
Celebrating, hah, you'd settle for survival. I considered naming this column surviving the holidays and then I realized that's not the point. Survival is nice but a pretty minimalist goal. Let's plan to celebrate! But how?
Every parent I know would just love it if schools closed for the holidays on December 24. Just think of it, no school-aged kids to consider while trying to gear up for the big day. (Every teacher I know is now planning to lynch me!). Whether the kids are home and excited and underfoot, or involved in a childcare program from which they return all keen and stimulated, it's just not easy to get to your to-do list.
So, involve the kids. They can help you, but that will only take you so far. Involving them is great and as they get older the can actually be helpful but you still need some unfettered time to get a handle on the preparations.
So develop a buddy system. The parents of your kids friends are dealing with the same dilemma, so share the problem. "I'll take your kids for an afternoon if you'll return the favour." When it's your turn to have all the kids get them making decorations, stringing popcorn that you can use on the tree or involve them in baking cookies.
When they are with your buddy, resist the urge to have a nap. Head off on a purposeful shopping trip or begin a cooking marathon.
Rituals are great. Kids love rituals and when you have developed planned activities from year to year they just happen without you having to scratch your head figuring out what to do with these antsy kids of yours. Choose wisely. Remember once you have done something once the kids will expect the same activity every year. Activities, which get them outside and moving, are a good bet. Kids love looking at the lights. In my old neighbourhood we had a street with a light competition. It's on Trinity Street in east Vancouver. The kids can vote for their favourite block (ballots cost $2 and all the proceeds go to charity) so they will become engaged in the activity. It's fun, it's Christmassy and if you vote, it's for a good cause. Of course, there are other streets and venues with great displays.
As much as possible maintain regular schedules. If mealtime and bedtime are respected, kids will handle all the other unusual and exciting activities without melting down.
Speaking of schedules. Be realistic. Do you really think it's going to be fun to have two Christmas dinners or drop into four homes on Christmas day with the kids? Spread out the visiting over the holidays and make all the visits fun. A relaxed visit two days after Christmas is much nicer than a frazzled visit with tired, grumpy kids on the twenty-fifth.
But it's not all easy. What about when you're co-parenting and need to coordinate with the other parent? The trick is to be gracious and to communicate. Think about the kids. What is best for them? Work around their needs. Let go of the past and your fantasies about what the holiday should be and make your reality be the best it can be.
It would be nice to think that as we come together to celebrate the holidays everyone will be friendly and happy. For some, there are going to be family members who are rude, who are nasty or who will embarrass you.
When you know things are not going to be positive but these are relatives you must see, try to control the environment. Visit them at their place. This makes it possible for you to keep the visit short. One advantage of kids is that you can always have to get them home for a nap or an event. While you're there try to stay calm but don't let anyone pick on your kids. Defend them if they are the butt of teasing or put-downs. If someone drinks too much, you can also leave.
At home let your kids talk about what happened. This is chance to talk to them about how we have responsibilities to our relatives but we also need to protect ourselves. If the problem is booze, it's a great chance to teach the kids about responsible and irresponsible drinking. The trick is to be honest without being nasty.
Finally, make sure everyone is getting fresh air and exercise. On Christmas Day, while the bird is in the oven or after dinner, go out for a walk. We used to head off to the Vancouver Aquarium. There's something soothing about fish and water. There's a great atmosphere on Christmas Day.
Face the possible problems right on. Plan how to handle the holiday.
Then instead of just surviving, celebrate!
Vive la Différence
There are so many times when we are raising our kids when we note their differences. My mini guide e-book , Vive la Différence: Raising Children with Different Temperaments addresses this.
I have always known that each child is a unique individual. I looked at my two who are as different as night and day. Then I consider my siblings and we are a textbook example of different.
But, now I have three grandchildren, all the same age and the differences from their births has been striking.
The result is the e-parenting mini guide, Vive la Différence: Raising Children with Different Temperaments. The guide is available on my website.
How Can I Bring Kathy to My Community?
I offer keynotes and workshops, (http://www.parentingtoday.ca/workshopskeynotes/) have written books and have ongoing newspaper columns, books, blogs and newsletters.
And, no matter what the actual topic, they all share a basic value that I call:
P.U.R.E. Parenting.
P — is a parenting plan
U — is unconditional love
R — is respect for your child as he is right now
E — is encouragement
These make up the framework of any resources that will come from Parenting Today. These four pillars are the essential ingredients for raising healthy children who will develop into capable young men and women.

Welcome Aboard – the R/V Jaeger
By Captain Fred Channell. August 24, 2017
You may know that the long-tailed Jaeger (Stercorarius longicaudus) is a pelagic seabird that spends most of its life offshore; or you may know that "Jäger" is German for "hunter"; you may not know that the research vessel R/V Jaeger is the latest addition to Cornell University's fleet.
The R/V Jaeger is a 42-foot former commercial fishing boat built in 1980 by Bruno & Stillman of Newington, New Hampshire. Powered by a 420-HP Caterpillar 3126 engine, she cruises very economically at 14 knots; and is an extremely seaworthy offshore boat.
Operated by Capt. Fred Channell and mate, Derek Jaskula; the R/V Jaeger can accommodate 8 persons (2 crew and 6 guests) for offshore work; 4 persons for overnight work; and others as needed when working inshore.
The Jaeger was purchased in the spring of 2016 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to support the research efforts of the Bioacoustics Research Program; specifically deploying and retrieving marine acoustic recording equipment off the east coast of the United States. In the intervening year, we have been on an extended sea-trial cruise; operating up and down the coast from New England to Florida, offshore and along the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), with several periods in boatyards, refitting the hull & equipment, and making customizations to directly support our mission.
This past year we have encountered waterspouts 135 miles out to sea, alligators and birds on the ICW, sea turtles, Mola molas, sharks, whales, and more dolphins than we could possibly count. We've dodged container ships, aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines; been shadowed by mysterious ships at night and threaded our way through more jet-skis and paddle boarders than I'd like to recall.
Please check out this link for more information about the R/V Jaeger and our Field Operations team. As we prepare for our fall/winter field season, we look forward to sharing our continuing work and adventures. Please be sure to look for further updates and photographs along the way.

Sexual assault charges have been filed against a B.C. man involved with youth sports.
RCMP say Richard Codie Hindle, also known as Codie Anderson, was arrested for alleged offences in Chilliwack dating back to 2011.
Police say in a news release that 35-year-old Hindle has been charged with one count of sexual interference with a minor, and allegations against him were reported in early 2016.
Staff Sgt. Darren Stevely of the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment says there may be other victims and parents should talk to their children about any contact they may have had with Hindle.
Mounties say Hindle has participated in youth sports in the Fraser Valley area since 1995.
Police say he coached basketball at a local leisure centre and at elementary and middle schools and also oversaw overnight programs, camping trips and a sports academy.


text: I'm using liberty 1.5 with the green gingerbread theme and love it. I should have rommed this phone sooner. My only complaint is that whenever I change the volume the on screen pop up is still yellow. I've got everything else customized in green and black (except for swype, but I'm working on that). Is there a way to change the color of this pop up or is there a black and green theme that has this change? Thanks for any help. I read this forum daily but never post, keep up the good work!

Tuesday (11/13/12)
8:45AM Dave Crawley
I wasn't sure if word had spread about the petition. It had. The petition and open letter were already printed out on his desk when I arrived. Not in the mood for answering questions I posed in the open letter, Dave Informed me he could not speak on the issue.
I confirmed to Dave that this is a student led initiative and both Lars and Miles have nothing to do with it. He also said he wanted to hear from Lars and Miles. I find this strange as….If I was in this situation as a manager… my first reaction would be to contact my employees and resolve it promptly. Yet, as of 10:00pm Wednesday neither Lars or Miles has been contacted by ANYONE at ACCD.
He Indicated it was something they wanted to discuss with ACSG and was on his way to a meeting with George Falardeau.
7:30PM ACSG Meeting
After the seemingly calculated response from Dave Crawely and an indication of wanting to work with ACSG I was surprised that the shop had not even contacted ACSG to get their side or bothered to show up. Granted it is past their working hours. Fred Fehlau(Provost) was in attendance and kindly listened our thoughts. By this time word had spread to ACSG that this was officially an HR issue, and ACSG cannot engage in issues concerning HR.
I want to give huge thanks to both Tyler Bennett and Thomas Belhacene for showing up and helping me convey the importance of keeping instructors like Miles and Lars in the shop.
For the purpose of clarity we thought we should deal with Miles and Lars separately as their situations differ. Miles has been terminated due to issues stemming from a shoulder injury in the shop. I believe this is where the HR conflict comes from to keep things confidential for Miles sake. Regardless I have asked him to report on the situation so at least the student body has an Idea surrounding his termination.
Lars has not been terminated, but, as mentioned in the open letter his hours are slowly being cut, term after term.
While the ACSG was empathetic to the cause no action can be taken. We did talk about other issues in the shop and ways we can give positive support to all the shop instructors that work with us. An idea I thought particularly insightful was a board with the instructors photos and specialty, with a correlating schedule. So if you had a favorite instructor with a specific skill you know when you could find them. This would also highlight how little Lars is actually in the shop….
So to sum it up, lots of talk, no answers. At this point, I don't expect to get answers related to why this is happening. Instead I want to get Lars in the shop working where he belongs. Hopefully opening up discussion to how we can improve shop/ student relationship in the process.
Wednesday (11/14/12)
5:00pm Lorne Buchman (President)
Before meeting Lorne I had only heard positive things about him. I can confirm that he not only has student's best interest in mind but is also strikes me as a very compassionate and genuine person. I explained to him why I felt compelled to start this, and the importance people like Lars and Miles play in the shop and Art Center as a whole.
He clearly already understood their importance and was empathetic to students feelings on influential instructors like Lars and Miles. He could not answer my questions as well because of HR issues. I'm not sure he was fully aware of the situation as he seemed surprised that Lars was only working three hours a week last term. And even less hours this term.
I tried to portray how this felt as a student, and admitted I don't know the whole picture. But if they won't tell me whats going on then how am I to judge what if what is going on is in my best interest? All I see is a favorite instructor being forced out. I think In the end we have we have to trust Lorne's judgement. He told me he would look into the situation, whether favorites are being played or if some form of retribution is being handed out. On the flip side if he concludes the actions are justified we should accept his judgment that is in the students best interest, even if he cannot divulge in the details.
Also this will hopefully open up a dialogue between Lars, the shop teachers and Lorne. I want to thank Lorne again for dealing with it in this way. I know there is a chain of command here, but I'm afraid things get lost as they move up the ladder, and by talking to students and instructors hopefully he can fill in the blanks.
Nobody at Art Center will answer my original questions I posed:
1. Why are Lars and Miles not working? People who I feel are the most influential in my shop experience at Art Center.
2.What will you do to fix this?
3. What system will you put in place to avoid this situations like in the future. Where students like myself feel you're not putting our best interest first. And influential instructors feel disrespected and undermined?
And looking forward, I'm not sure we'll get answers. If I follow what I've learned in my design education, I'll find these answers and try to facilitate a solution. However, this isn't my job as a student, and I have neither the time or energy to pursue that. What is important, in my view, is to get Lars in the shop. I get the impression, as much as I would like Miles back in the shop, that it won't happen.
I find it strange that last week this was not an issue, and once it's exposed to students, it's suddenly and HR issue…I call bullshit. I freely admit I don't know the details of what, if anything is going on(that's why I wrote the open letter). Whether is personal or political It doesn't matter, such selfish actions should not inhibit my education, which is what happens when instructors like Lars are working less than three hours a week.
However, thanks to everyone's support this is a visible issue and students can be aware and monitor it. ACSG will hopefully follow through actions they can take. I trust Lorne to make the best decision for the students.
My opinion:
I feel the shop and 3D laps need to be restructured under a department chair. They are currently lead under the operations/facilities and operate as a separate entiity. The process of learning how to navigate the shop faciliites and 3D labs is not only confusing but intimating for new students.
Lets look at the process of completing a project for many students at ACCD:
A teacher from a department, assigns a project. The student has figure out how to complete the assignment using the 3D labs and Shop, where there is no lead person to talk to. Instead we find many specialized instructors. (This is where I really appreciated Lars in Miles, they helped coordinate our WHOLE projects, not just babysit the bandsaws) Often projects involve lasercutting, cnc, 3d printing, and shopwork. To complete the project the student has to seek out instructors who are not in the same department as the teacher to figure out how to complete the project. Then navigate a maze of different rules, regulations, and processes, none of which they are competent in. We are not, after all, getting a degree in model making, if there is such a degree.
If all the shop facilities were under a department chair, a person who could help direct students in this confusing process, and create better flow between classes and the shop, the experience would not only be more student focused but much more efficent.
But thats just my .02. I've got one term left. I'm out of here. It's up to the upcoming students to influence change.
PS, if you see lars in the shop, give him a high five 🙂

There are two absolute tools which are necessary for every trader in order to be successful. If you have access to these tools, you will have all the necessary information for creating a successful trading strategies. You must be well knowledgeable to design your own money management strategy. You will have all the starting points for creating your very own binary options strategy.
- Trading Strategies
Binary options are a short term investment. Timing is particularly important to the success along with predicting the direction of the market. The trading strategy on an individual level should define the signal that you wish to trade. You must know when you wish for entering the market as the signals are generated. There are a number of possibilities that can originate on the basis of technical analysis.
Trading the Breakout: You can break out of the continuation or the reversal pattern. For this purpose, define whether you will be investing in the binary option in the breakout anticipation in the reaction of the breakout or in the reaction to the pullback.
Trading Trend Lines: You can trade the trend lines in the same way you use the support and resistance level. You can invest in the impending turnaround as the trend approaches the trend line. You can invest the price breaking through the trend line.
Trading the Gap: There are times when the prices take a huge leap in either direction. The gap which is created can close again. When the gap is closing, you can invest with the binary option.
Technical Indicators: With the technical indicators, you will get great insight to what is going on in the market. When it is applied the right way, with the technical indicators you can easily generate the signals for trading with binary options.
Trading Candlestick Formations: With the candlestick formation, you will get short term indicators about the future price movements. As you recognize and interpret the candlestick formations, you will find plenty of attractive trading opportunities.
- Money Management Strategy
If you don't have a good money management strategy, even if you have the best trading strategy, it will ruin you eventually. During the binary options trading, it is inevitable for one to stay away from the trading loss. The main goal of an individual should not be for winning all the trades. In fact, it should be to win enough trades for ending up with the net profit in the end. With the money management tool, you can minimize loss and attain profits. The best money management strategy consists of a number of rules. It is recommended to invest small fixed percentage of the overall capital in the trading. Make sure that the percentage is not higher than 5%. For example, if your total capital is $1, you must never invest more than $50 on each trade. The money management strategy should be rigorous so that you can survive the losing streaks and make consistent amount of profit.
As you combine both these strategies, then you will see that making money with binary options trading will become easy.

The theater goers spilled out into the street. Mr. Mendonsa and his date Rita Petri went to a bar where they imbibed maybe a bit too much. They then returned to the celebration in Times Square.
The 20-year old Mendonsa had witnessed some horrible sights during his time in the navy. Most recently, he saw two Kamikaze planes destroy an American ship. Over 300 servicemen were killed. Many others were horribly wounded. Mr. Mendonsa assisted at the scene, and witnessed the American nurses tending to the injured.
As he walked through the square, Mr. Mendonsa caught sight of a woman in a nurse's uniform. In an instant, he grabbed her, swooped her down, and kissed her. The moment was captured by photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt and his photo came to symbolize the relief and exuberance that our country felt at the end of World War II (though the continued glorification of Mr. Mendonsa's non-consensual kiss is a bit creepy).
Although the photo itself became famous, for many years, the people in the photo were unknown. A number of men and women came forward, claiming that they were the ones in the picture. Only in recent years has the mystery been solved (probably).
It turns out that the woman in the photo (the kissee, if you will) was not a nurse; she was a 21-year old dental assistant from Queens named Greta Zimmer. Ms. Zimmer was also a refugee from Nazi-controlled Austria.
Margarete "Greta" Zimmer was born on June 5, 1924 in eastern Austria. Her parents, Max and Ida, and her two sisters were Jewish. In the years leading up to World War II, Austria drifted into the orbit of Nazi Germany, and conditions for Jews deteriorated. Then, in March 1938, Austrian Nazis took control of the government. In the same month, German troops occupied the country. Despite the overt anti-Semitism and the increasing danger, the Zimmer family tried to remain in their homeland.
By 1939, the family's thinking had changed. The danger was mounting and opportunities to leave were disappearing. Max and Ida decided to send their daughters out of Austria, even if they had not secured passage for themselves. One daughter was sent to Palestine. Greta, then 15 years old, and her sister Jo came to the United States (lucky for them, given the strict quota laws in place at the time). The girls hoped that the separation from their parents would be only temporary.
Relatives in New York welcomed Greta and Jo to the United States. Greta volunteered as an air-raid warden during the war. She took classes at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
On the day of the photo, Greta Zimmer was working in a dental office near Times Square. All morning, they had been hearing rumors that the war had ended, and after lunch, she went over to Times Square, where she saw a lighted billboard declaring "V-J Day!" As for the kiss, Ms. Zimmer remembered it in a 2005 interview--
Suddenly, I was grabbed by a sailor. It wasn't that much of a kiss. It was more of a jubilant act that he didn't have to go back. I found out later he was so happy that he didn't have to go back to the Pacific where [he] had already been through the war. The reason he grabbed somebody dressed like a nurse [was because] he felt so very grateful to the nurses who took care of the wounded.
I'm not sure about the kiss... it was just somebody celebrating. It wasn't a romantic event. It was just an event of "Thank God the war is over."
I'm not sure about the kiss... it was just somebody celebrating. It wasn't a romantic event. It was just an event of "Thank God the war is over."
After the war, Ms. Zimmer married Dr. Mischa Friedman and had two children. She studied and later worked at Hood College in Maryland. It wasn't until years later that Ms. Zimmer saw the photo and recognized herself in it. She also eventually met George Mendonsa, who by then had married Rita Petri, his date on V-J Day.
Ms. Zimmer never saw her parents again. They died in Auschwitz. She also lost many other family members during the Holocaust. In all, of 181,000 Jews in Austria in 1938, approximately 65,000 were murdered by the Nazis. Most of the remainder fled the country. Only a few thousand Jews remained in Austria by the end of the war.
Greta Zimmer Friedman died on September 8, 2016. She was buried in Arlington National Cemetery, next to her late husband, who was a military veteran. She was 92. May her memory be a blessing.

Coe Trips Up Spartans
Jan 17, 2018
DUBUQUE, Iowa – The University of Dubuque women's basketball team dropped another close contest on Wednesday night, losing to Coe College, 76-72.
The Spartans got off to a hot start, beginning the game on a 12-4 run over the opening 5:23 and outscoring the Kohawks 24-14 in the first quarter. However, things flipped dramatically in the second quarter as the Kohawks would outscore UD 24-10 in the frame and take a 38-34 lead into halftime.
The UD deficit would stay between four to 10 points for the entire third quarter before the Spartans finally broke through and grabbed a 61-60 lead with 8:18 remaining after Crystal Rios three pointer. The lead would change five more times over the next four minutes after the teams traded three pointers including two from UD's Lexi Daniels. Trailing 75-69 with 1:35 remaining, UD's Josephine Thomas drilled a three pointer and the Spartans forced a turnover to give the Spartans one more chance to tie the score but Thomas could not connect on another three and the Kohawks would make a free throw to seal the game.
Abbey Meyer and Crystal Rios powered the Spartan scoring on the night, both finishing with 20 points. Meyer totaled a double-double as she grabbed 10 rebounds and also dished out a game high six assists. Rios and Morgan Boer were second on the team in rebounds with seven each.
The long ball helped keep the Spartans in the contest, as they outshot the Kohawks from behind the arc, making 12-34 (35.3%), while holding Coe to 7-25 (28%) from three.
The Spartans have another home contest on Saturday afternoon when they host Nebraska Welseyan at 2:00 p.m. in the Stoltz Sports Center

It was really was so incredibly easy to do. I decided to make my own template, as I wanted a smaller clutch. So, not including the designing on the template - this DIY took me about 10 minutes to do. I absolutely love love love how it has turned out! It was very simple with minimum fuss. In saying that, I am still in the process of finalising it, as I am going to fashion an appropriate clasp. And once I do. I will most definitely post another photo of it here :)
Seriously guys, consider sponsoring me. I will bring forth you a whole new demographic otherwise gaping in your portfolio. So what do you think people??? DIY December is roaring on.

Squeezing limes is a snap if you have a lime squeezer. For those who don't have just one, stick a fork into one 50 % of a lime and the give it a very good twist. That is much simpler than trying to crush the lime with the fingers.
Then you need to slice it against the grain so it isn't chewy. When you don't really know what the grain is while in the meat, listed here's a marvelous information on chopping in opposition to the grain from Major Eats. The grain is essentially the wrinkles or maybe the lines from the meat.
.. no, just let me have what yall left off, and Im very good. It pretty much took a few perplexed glances, and text exchanged just before they set some bitter cream and avocado within a container for me. Once again, not A person apology, not one word mentioned to me for making this ideal.
Take away the steak and Enable it relaxation for around five minutes to enable the juices to settle. Thinly cut the steak through the grain for tacos. Preserve the Carne Asada warm in a very coated dish. (If you're grilling cambray onions and nopales, it's best To accomplish this prior to or concurrently While using the meat, and put aside, keeping it heat.) You may also saute the onions Employed in the marinade within a skillet so as to add on the tacos.
For that black beans, get started by rinsing a cup of dried beans, then soak in water overnight. The next day, drain, and transfer beans to your saucepan, address with water by 2 inches and produce to your boil before decreasing the heat into a simmer.
Grabbed this for lunch with a few coworkers, I halved the Carne Asada and Conchinita Tortas. I will claim that getting just one of such will certainly fill you up.
I likely packed a lot of on. The a person alter I would make is dicing up the meat immediately after grilling it. The meat was a little way too tricky for being eaten in strips. Besides that, a filling, muy bueno sandwich.
Heat oil for your couple seconds and immediately include meat in Heart of pan and promptly distribute meat to one layer.

Outfit Details
Blazer - Tesco
T-shirt - Zara
Skirt - Urban Outfitters
Converse - via LoveTheSales
Bag - c/o Jules B
As of right now, I'm skint. With my student loan running out and officially noting myself as self-employed until I find myself a job, money is pretty tight around here. Because of this, I've had to be pretty clever when it comes to my wardrobe and my personal styling, as I typically get really bored with my outfits. So after some serious pinning, I'm going back to fashion basics and starting a scratch as we transition from summer and autumn dressing.
Trying to get as many bare legs in as possible, I've been reaching on a weekly basis for this denim skirt I picked up in the sales last Christmas time. It's looking super super faded and is in need of a dye, but I love it nevertheless. I currently own a whoopin' 2 two skirts that fit me properly, and this is one of them - it nips me in at the waist and doesn't feel too hugging around the hips which I've very happy about (small waist, big hip girls ya feel me). It's versatile and I'm sure it's going to last me many years to come. The same goes for this pretty basic v-neck top that I bought on a whim a little while back, and MY GOD it is only like the nicest, most flattering, basic ever. I remember it being really affordable (basically the price of a coffee and cake) and now I'm wishing I'd picked one up in every variation, I love pairing it with this white blazer that I spotted in the Tesco sale whilst doing the weekly shop. For £10 it would've been rude not too, am I right or am I right? And for my shoes, we all know how much I love Converse, so being a little thrifty, I visited LoveTheSales and spotted these bad boys with a really reasonable discount. I thought they'd be a little darker in colour when I ordered them, but I've found their raspberry hue surprisingly versatile and they make the perfect transitional colour for the season!
What are your fashion basic must-haves?


text: This is a full-bodied, chunky style of Pinot Noir despite its modest stated alcohol level of 13%. It's plummy and herbal, tinged with hints of beet greens and sous bois, while dark coffee notes and slightly drying tannins emerge on the finish. Worth holding to try in another 2–3 years.

We've been out and about several times now to different parts of the city for various errands and I am really liking the looks of Fort Wayne. They have a lot of older homes clustered in and around the city (January's house is about 2-3 blocks from the downtown area). They have a huge library, a wonderful courthouse (and maybe there's more in that one cause it's very big also), several very large and very lovely churches, and so on. I just looked up their population and in 2014 it was estimated at 256,000-some so I guess that's one reason it's as big as it is. I just never thought of Fort Wayne as a metropolis, but it pretty much is. The site I went to for info also said they are the 77th "most populous" city in the nation! So a lot of people are living in the city proper apparently. They suffered from "de-industrialization" in the 80's and business and people were moving out of the city to the surrounding areas but they went to work on it and in the 90's began to get it turned around. Poor Huntington started it's decline back in the 80's also and still has a ways to go although it's certainly better than it was at its worst.
Anyway, no pictures yet but hopefully before I leave I'll get some sightseeing done. I've taken some of their crazy cats, Knucklehead and Chucklehead, Knuckles and Chuckles for short. They're young lads and brothers and they love chasing one another. Poor Knuckles had a wound of some type under his chin and kept scratching the scab off, hence the blue collar. He licks and licks at the collar trying to bathe himself. Two or three times a day, January takes it off so he can bathe properly but you have to keep an eye on him cause he wants to scratch that itch.
Chuckles is looking rather crazed because he does not like that bowtie!
And, I've only taken a few of their house inside because they've just barely moved in. They moved out of their house in Maryland and into this house in January when Maggie started her job over here but January stayed with Chris and her job at CUA until she got a job and they didn't have her start until March 28 so she's only been here two weeks. So there is still much unpacking, organizing, filling walls with all the neat things they have on their walls always, but I took these just to show what the house is like. I'm assuming the ceilings are 10 feet high because they're higher than my 9 foot ceilings and downstairs counting the kitchen which is in what I think used to be a back porch, there are 5 rooms. Upstairs I think there's also 5 but it's hard keeping track because the rooms go into each other. But I love old houses and this is a nice old house. Has an unfinished basement too.
This first one is in the front room looking out to the entrance hall. The organ isn't theirs but it stayed with the house and actually works! It's a pump organ.
And this is in what was originally a very large kitchen and the doorway goes to the stairway. This is where the pantry is and my guess is the stove was in front of the left side wall cause there's a gas pipe that comes up there and I would wonder if before there was a gas stove, there maybe was a wood stove and the built-ins on that wall had a chimney going up. Oh, and that's my clutter on the table. :)
Tonight January is going to cook bar-b-q shrimp which I think is a misnomer. This is a recipe that Chris and Heather's stepmom made years back (and probably still) and the kids raved so much about it that I asked for the recipe and used to make it myself when there were enough people to eat it. It has nothing to do with bar-b-q and is simply delicious. If January has the recipe written down, I'll try and get it posted. Hmmm....it would be interesting to see how it might work cutting it all the way down to a "cooking for one" recipe.
Maggie already made a delicious Indian dinner for us my first night here. Indian cooking is her specialty and she has really delved into it. We had chicken Korma served with a side dish of red lentils and rice and naan bread. Who knows? She may have to open an Indian restaurant some day! :)
So, ta-ta from Fort Wayne, Indiana - not my home town but it is my home state so when I'm here I can say I'm a native. Something I can't do in Huntington even though I've lived there for 38 years. Good grief, where does the time go???

Whiz Kid Update
I was 14 when I first saw this done!
Of course it's essentially useless knowledge.
BUT learning how to stand up and deliver a lucid presentation IS an important skill.
Sure math has much practical application....but in many ways I see it more as a vehicle to exercise discipline, logic, etc.
Another thing he's been doing is messing around programming with Scratch - free intro-to-programming software from the geeks at MIT.
I'm not exactly sure what he's doing but he wanted me to embed two of his recent creations below.
Clicking on the images will take you to the website. From there you get to *play*. Use the arrows and space bar *to shoot*.
