Everyone needs to see Strut.
It may look like just another reality television show, but it is so eye opening, I am in awe.
Many people do not understand what it means to be transgender, not even most gay and lesbian people. I remember during Caitlyn Jenner's transition, a lot people were vocal about how they didn't understand what it means to be transgender.
That is why Strut is so important.
A lot of times, we bash what we do not understand. It is the human thing to do. This show shows us what it means to be transgender in the 21st century. Their lives may be more glamorous than the average Trans person but the stories resonate with all of us. The struggle to live your truth and be accepted for who you are and not what society wants you to be. It also explores how this struggle affects not just your personal life but also your career and how you relate with others. This show is the truth.
From Laith, the hot male model who is dealing with accepting himself because of his mother and her faith, to Dominique the older female model that has to work twice as hard to get the recognition that her cisgender counterparts already get. There is Ren who doesn't want to conform to the stereotype of a trans female in fashion, and Arisce who although has a tough exterior still wants acceptance. And let us not forget Isis who we met on America's Next Top Model, who has to deal with the pressures of being Trans and in the public eye.
These stories are not new to us. Many of us (gay or straight) experience a lot of these issues in different areas of our lives. What is so amazing is that as we watch the show, we are not only entertained by their drama but we can understand or catch a glimpse of what it means to be transgender and how we can relate when we meet trans individuals in the future.
Whoopi Goldberg is the executive producer of the show. Please check it out.
Written by Tony Odekunle-Brown
And as a bonus, here is a short video that illuminates the questions people shouldn't ask trans people.

Relax Underclassmen, Your Time Will Most Certainly Come
RT Staff Note: We get a lot of e-mails from players asking us for advice. Many of them are from underclassmen that aren't getting playing time on varsity. We have paraphrased them into one e-mail like the one below in bold. Our response is in regular type below that.
I am high school sophomore that is playing on his varsity team. Our team has played 20 games total and I have only received a few at bats and pitched 11 innings. I have delivered some good hits and have not allowed a run as a pitcher.
I want to play JV so I can get some innings, but the coach wants me on varsity...yet I don't play despite starters that are hitting in the mid .200's.
Our coach plays his seniors and juniors first, yet I know that I am better than they are. I am a talented player who starts on my travel team and we are traveling to all of the top showcases this summer. What should I do?
Your coach and many coaches like yours are teaching you a valuable lesson called paying your dues. He likes you...he really does, or he would not have brought you up. He just doesn't want to rush it too early. We have seen players brought into the fray way too early, struggle, lose confidence and move several steps backwards.
What you don't realize is how important you are to the rest of the team. Just you being there challenging the older players and showing them that there is a sophomore trying to take a upperclassman's position is a valuable contribution to the team. You should be causing the upperclassmen to work harder out of pride alone.
In addition, the coach is teaching you the values of hard work and patience. He is basically asking you to observe this year and learn from the leadership of the team captains and seniors on the team. Because he brought you up, he is hoping you are listening, learning, and taking that knowledge into your summer season and next year. He is not going to bring a sophomore up if he doesn't have big plans for you next year. Have patience. Many of the best players in major league history never even played on varsity until their junior year. You are obviously a special kid, but you must be handled with special care too. Play hard, never give up and have a great summer. By the time you junior year comes around, all of this will be so familiar to you. You will be way ahead of other juniors and will be looked at as their leader. Take advantage of that and show them what it takes to play varsity.

2 Points Individuals Do Certainly Not Have Information Pertaining To LASIK Eye Surgical ProcedureThe eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the ability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the pupil to light and lodging.
The function of the eye may be tested in numerous ways. The client might be asked to identify illuminated letter or things of varying sizes on what is called the Snellen chart.
Alternatively, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye might be made in several methods. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In specific illness, particularly in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased noticeably.
It needs to be well remembered that a client with an eye issue might have other issues. Frequently other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a repercussion. The look of the eye can inform the doctor and the client to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other symptoms present themselves.
Subsequently, one's dependence on sight is stressed when one deals with a possible or short-term long-term loss of this important sense. Hence, when corrective measures are sought, certain forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some people are troubled with that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgical operations were developed to motivate reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Generally, LASIK eye surgery is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction. The only difference is that with this kind of surgery, one's vision is fixed completely.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive errors in the cornea are completely changed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The primary purpose of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, permitting better the eye to direct more light Recommended Site into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that individuals should know. Most likely, the main factor why this type of eye surgical treatment has actually ended up being well accepted is because many of its cases had been effective.
In spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most helpful hints delicate part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgical treatment involves the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate parts of the eye, the majority of people state that the operation can be very risky.
In other words, a simple mistake could nearly cause an individual's life time loss of sight. For this reason, it is essential to think about lots of aspects before deciding whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the right restorative procedure one needs to undergo.
2. It is not a perfect treatment
LASIK eye surgical treatment may remedy your vision but it does not always suggest that it can offer you a perfect vision. Even if analytical reports show that 70% of the clients may have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily mean they have perfect vision as well.
Offered all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK might not constantly be the perfect eye surgical treatment the way many people see it
Alternatively, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in several ways. It needs to be well kept in mind that a client with an eye problem might have other issues. Typically other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can signal the patient and the physician to difficulties in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other symptoms provide themselves.
Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction.

Focusing on Health, Rather Than Weight, Better for Adolescents
Focusing on a healthy lifestyle as opposed to weight prevents obesity and eating disorders in adolescents.
(HealthDay News) — When teenagers are overweight, parents and doctors should encourage a healthy lifestyle rather than focus on the number on the scale, according to new guidelines issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and published in Pediatrics.
In the new guidelines that address both adolescent obesity and eating disorders, the AAP says adults should move away from "weight talk," and instead help children have a healthy relationship with food and their bodies.
The AAP recommends having family meals as often as possible. Research indicates that children who sit down to eat with their family tend to eat more healthy foods, and are less likely to diet or take extreme measures to lose weight.
"The focus should be on a healthy lifestyle rather than on weight," wrote the guideline authors. "Evidence suggests that obesity prevention and treatment, if conducted correctly, do not predispose to eating disorders."

|Granted, whilst my first ever day in Turkey lies many years in the past, I nevertheless chose the topic for today's article as I can imagine that expatriates old and new will, hopefully, fondly remember how things -- and themselves -- progressed after touchdown in this great location and may wish to compare how they had felt on day number one with a fellow expatriate's memories.
|If we agree that there is love at first sight with regards to adult relationships and that there is perhaps a similar kind of chemistry between a city and the newcomer, it might be a fascinating undertaking to relate our first day impressions with our long-term evaluation: fallen in love straight away, eventually or not as of yet?
Not surprisingly, political commentators travel with more than spare clothes. In my case I had arrived via London's Gatwick Airport and had thought I was rather well prepared for my first journey to Turkey. This was of course greatly facilitated by my wife, who originally hails from Ankara. We had regularly met with Turkish friends who had come to visit us in London, and in general terms closely followed economic and political events as they were unfolding right after the massive financial crisis that had affected Turkey early in the new millennium.
I had studied about the country, too, but had begun to wonder whether what we saw on TV or read in books was really true. For example, Turkish language books featured black-and-white photos of alleyways and side streets where obscure looking people ply their supposedly even more obscure trade. The publicly portrayed image of Turkey early in the new millennium was one of doom and gloom. The pictures could easily have been taken 30 or 40 years ago; as a matter of fact, I do wonder whether they were and had been re-used again and again.
What I did not know back then was what I know today -- not only had European media cleverly manipulated its readers with regards to showing off a "poor, mainly Muslim state and its 70 million people" far away from Europe's roads seemingly paved with gold (once more, in the age of bailouts, a completely reversed image), but certain pro-status quo circles from within Turkey were apparently rather satisfied, enjoying the champagne lifestyle thanks to military and other forms of tutelage, while their "second class" fellow citizens were left in the cold.
A number of articles written by Turkish colleagues I had read right after arrival in Turkey did just the same -- when talking about Turkey, most articles began with the insulting words, "Turkey, a poor et cetera country of 70 million people or so et cetera mainly located in Asia et cetera." How can we blame the European man or woman on the street when all he or she saw about Turkey was not just in black and white, but above all else the wrong version of what was really happening in Turkey?
Clean, green, charming AnkaraMy first "outing" in the Turkish capital upon arrival was at a coffee shop close to the impressive city library. My wife had thought we should take in the late summer mid-morning sun and enjoy sitting outside instead. As this was her former and soon-to-be-again hometown she remembered a place that looked very inviting and spacious, with comfortable cushioned chairs and its menu favorably comparing with that of a three-star restaurant anywhere else, including central London.
The adjoining high street was, albeit located in Turkey, a replica of what one would expect in Milan or Lyon -- brand name chain stores, most banks and more restaurants. Well-dressed pedestrians, modern automobiles.
Above all else the neighborhood was leafy, green and spotlessly clean. My first morning was about to develop into something that over time would turn into a love affair of sorts between visitor-cum-resident and metropolis.
After a stopover in our new home, we continued sightseeing by walking to the nearest underground station. Taking the convenient Ankaray subway line from Beşevler station to Kızılay -- Ankara's major shopping and commercial center -- I begin to feel at home. Having arrived from the United Kingdom, and London in particular, one feels tempted to start a comparison in the sense of "what would I have done on a similar day in London? Where would I have taken a visitor or my partner? How would we have reached our destination?" In Ankara my initial reaction on the way to Kızılay was an oft-repeated "wow." Anything, I had thought I would know about Ankara and Turkey after endless conversations with my wife and me learning about Turkish current affairs -- albeit from abroad -- for over a decade was turned upside down. Was I in for a shock or a positive surprise?
Getting used to the Turkish way of lifeEither I had arrived on a parallel planet or a time machine had transported me into the future; one thing became clear already on my first day in this country: Whatever the image we had gotten used to in Europe, it was wrong, totally wrong. Walking around Kızılay, and except for the signs outside the department stores and shops, visitors could have been forgiven for forgetting that they were supposed to be in a "poor, 70 million+ nation state located somewhere in Asia" -- with reference to my previous quotations. On the contrary, where they were was in one of Europe's up-and-coming emerging markets, in a city filled with history, modernity, feel-good factor, commerce and pride. Yes, mainly Muslim, of course. Yes, at that time just over 70 million inhabitants, too. Anything else they thought they knew would have been rewritten right on their first day if only they would walk around with open eyes.
Later that noon we decided to sit in a café-bar in one of Ankara's pedestrian zones and take in the atmosphere. Young and old, men and women enjoyed their lunch break, sitting outside and sipping on a drink of whatever their fancy had told them to order.
Only one regret!Retrospectively summing up my first day, my only regret would be not having come to Turkey sooner! But as I began my article with a reference to my profession, we have to be honest, too. There were times in this modern country's history where the above-mentioned black-and-white images may have resembled the truth, when the political system was far from stable and democracy all but in its infant stages. Back then, decades ago there was hardly anything to do for foreigners except to work as a language teacher or being employed in the diplomatic corps. More Turkish citizen moved abroad than foreigners moved here.
Please do not misunderstand me -- I am not saying that I was a fair-weather pseudo-friend of Turkey, and I am fully aware of the fact that Ankara and the relative wealth of its peoples is not as yet a mirror image of each and every town and city across the nation; much more economic prosperity has to arrive in order to establish a strong Turkish middle class. Yet, as so many fellow commentators, both Turkish and foreign, who in particularly over the last two or three years have begun to criticize the very same reform efforts they had so vehemently asked for nine years ago, I have become even more steadfast and an ever more confident supporter of this country's seemingly never-ending drive towards reform -- a look at the process to finally adopting a civilian constitution further underlines my assumption!
Ankara afterthoughtsIf one is lucky enough to combine individual political interest with the chance to make a living from it and in another country, too, and above all else find friends and colleagues and raise a family, the one thing I and fellow expatriates -- in case we share the same emotions about this place -- should endeavor once (and if) the time has come to go back home is to help to portray Turkey in all its colors and no longer in black and white. It is a massive undertaking, but one that will bear fruit.
I hope you have had, or are about to have, a simply great first day in Turkey, too!

Yesterday was a great day. Like a really awesome day. I went shopping with mom, bought little fun things from Target, used a coupon for unlimited soup salad and bread sticks at Olive Garden, and then ate cookie cake with the family that night. And the weather was perfect. It was pretty great.
But I guess good things never last. Brace yourselves for Olivia's daily dose of awkward. Coming up next!
No, but it was pretty bad. So, after all this fun shopping we were stopping by Aldi's. Mom had gone in to pick up the groceries, but she left me outside in the car with the windows down. It was sunny and comfortable and as you can see from the picture below the lighting was fantastic. So, being the teenage girl that I am, embarrassingly enough I began taking a selfie or two. Being the tactful undercover mastermind that I am, I only snapped one when there was no one in the vicinity to observe my indulgence in these ridiculous antics. Being the apparently blind human that I am, I failed to miss something. This is where the real pain starts.
Sitting in the passengers seat of the car right beside me was a person. An older person. I had been taking selfies right there for them to observe. Man. Didn't know I was capable of having a heart attack til then. But I apparently I am. Because I did.
I still don't know if it was a man or woman. That may or may not be a result of my paranoia from that point on until mom got in the car. In that moment I felt that I represented all that this next generation was to that person. It was. Yeah not the best feeling in the world. So there we go.
Moral of the Story: As a general rule, try to avoid taking selfies in the car. It's rarely worth your time. And if you do BE AWARE OF ALL YOUR SURROUNDINGS AT ALL TIMES. Life or death situation people. Oh, and also just as an aside- don't be who I am. Just don't. It never works out. This blog post: exhibit A.

Check out Nick's Music submission. My apologies for not getting it up sooner.If you ask a religious person what God is, no matter what faith they are they will answer the same basic way. God always was and always will be. He can never be created or destroyed. He is inside of everything in the universe and He created the universe. Now if you ask a scientist what energy is they will all say the same thing in whatever language they speak. Energy always was and always will be. It can never be created or destroyed. It is inside of everything in the universe and it created the universe.So if God and energy are two names for the same thing, which I believe is true than to paint a picture of God is to paint energy as a form. And people usually use the human form to represent God because that is what they are familiar with. So I decided that the best representation of human beings harnessing energy, using soundwaves which are vibrations (also energy), and imagery (light, again energy) to make the biggest impact on the world was the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles. They used many different forms of energy including the energy they felt in touch with while on LSD to spread happiness and love to an incredibly large and unprecidented amount of people. So since I can't just submit the actual artwork for Sgt. Pepper because that's just cheating I am submitting this graphic I made this week with Mike Vivas for the band. It took Vivas and Frank 4 hours to download all of the pictures and it took me 14 hours of photoshop to present the final product. The high res version is like 50MB and it's fucking awesome but this one is cool too.

Jason Ruff: Mixing The Unattainable Objects of My Youth
Cigarettes and sneakers certainly sounds like an unlikely starting point for an art project, but these two 'unattainable objects' of Jason Ruff's youth inspired him to create a series of replicas of his favourite sneakers - all made using cigarette packaging...
In order of appearance, the series (which first started in 2012) includes the interestingly named Air Yahoos!, Yeezys, Air Spirits, Jordans, Classics and Golds. While some of the sneakers are made purely from cigarette packaging, others also feature cardboard elements from the likes of board game packaging, food packaging and promotional brochures.
New York-based creative Ruff kindly took the time to talk to Art & Sole, explaining both the concept behind the Mixing The Unattainable Objects of My Youth project and how it started: "I grew up with Air Jordan and Joe Camel. I'm the product of a consumer culture and the idea of 'being cool' was a daily aspiration. I have always been fascinated by sneaker design and product packaging, and sneaker status was a big part of my elementary school years - one was either respected, busted on or jacked for the things on their feet. At the same time, trips to the local gas station mini-mart brought a curiosity for the packages behind the counter. The only thing I knew about those packages were that they were colourful, a little dangerous and not for kids. The mixing of the two started when I found a bag of cigarette cartons put out for recycling on a walk home last year - I saw the swoosh, and the project was born."

MONTREAL -- There are no clinically relevant changes in pulmonary hemodynamics after injection of the ultrasound contrast agent Optison (perflutren protein-type A microspheres), a small post-marketing study showed.
Up to 10 minutes after injection of the agent, there were no significant changes in either pulmonary artery systolic pressure or pulmonary vascular resistance compared with a control solution, according to Michael Main, MD, of Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City, Mo.
The findings were consistent regardless of whether the patients had normal or elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure at baseline, he reported at the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) meeting here.
Preliminary findings from the study were considered when an FDA advisory committee met in May to assess the safety of Optison and another commercially available contrast agent, Definity (perflutren lipid microspheres).
Concerns were raised by the FDA in October 2007 after the agency received spontaneous reports of 11 deaths, and nearly 200 serious cardiopulmonary events, that occurred shortly after administration of the contrast agents. A boxed warning about cardiopulmonary reactions was placed on the labels of both Optison and Definity at that time.
GE Healthcare, which makes Optison, and Lantheus Medical Imaging, which makes Definity, agreed to conduct post-marketing safety studies after the 2007 warning.
The three studies that GE Healthcare agreed to conduct were:
- A registry of about 1,000 patients to define Optison's safety profile in clinical practice
- A retrospective study using a large billing database to evaluate acute mortality in critically ill hospitalized patients who underwent echocardiography with and with a contrast agent
- A pulmonary hemodynamics study that was reported by Main at the ASE meeting
There were no serious adverse events or deaths identified in the registry, and no increase in mortality identified in the retrospective study in patients given Optison, Main said.
The findings of all three post-marketing studies of Optison "really ought to allay any serious concerns regarding safety for the commercially available ultrasound contrast agents," he said.
The principle safety issue that has emerged with the ultrasound contrast agents is about a one in 10,000 risk of anaphylactoid reactions. According to Main, these reactions can be readily mitigated with awareness that the reactions may occur and the availability of allergy kits in imaging centers.
The pulmonary hemodynamics study involved 30 patients who were referred for cardiac catheterization for clinical reasons -- 11 had a normal pulmonary artery systolic pressure at baseline (35 mm Hg or less) and 19 had an elevated pressure.
Within each group, patients were randomized to receive a single IV injection of 0.5 mL of Optison followed by an injection of 0.5 mL of a control solution (5% dextrose) or to receive the control solution first followed by Optison. There was a 15-minute washout period between injections.
Hemodynamic measurements were obtained within one hour before the first injection and then at two, six, and 10 minutes after each injection.
Among the patients who received both an Optison and control injection, there were no clinically relevant increases from baseline in mean pulmonary artery systolic pressure or pulmonary vascular resistance for either injection. The findings were consistent in the patients with both high and normal pulmonary artery systolic pressure at baseline.
With Optison, the mean pulmonary artery systolic pressure was 55.2 mm Hg at baseline, 55.6 mm Hg at two minutes, 54.1 mm Hg at six minutes, and 54.6 mm Hg at 10 minutes.
Up to 24 hours after the injections, there were no deaths, serious adverse events, or treatment-related adverse events observed.
Main reported receiving research grant support from GE Healthcare and Lantheus Medical Imaging, which make Optison and Definity, respectively.

Southwest is currently having a fare sale for flights flown between April 3 and June 13 and then again August 31 and October 31, 2018. With fare sales I always double check flights that I've already booked to see if the price has gone down. I know many readers have been able to get a bunch of points back on flights previously booked during these fare sales! It's also a good opportunity to look into flights that you've been meaning to book. This sale goes through end of day Thursday March 15, 2018.
If you already have a Southwest flight booked for a flight that decreased in price, you can get back the difference with no change fees. You can read more about the exact process and steps to go about this with these two blog posts: "Changing and Canceling a Southwest Flight" and "If a Southwest Flight Goes Down in Price…." Keep in mind though, earlier this year Southwest changed their rules where if you "change" a flight it makes a fully refundable fare, non-refundable, so you might want to cancel and then rebook. You can learn more about this new rule here. But essentially if you…
- Paid for the flight… You will receive a voucher for the difference in fare price to be used one year from the date the flight was originally purchased (NOT the date the change process took place). This voucher is non-transferable. The voucher will be tied to the confirmation number of the original flight. There is NO fee for this.
- Booked your flight using points… The difference in points will go back into your account immediately. Although, you might want to cancel and rebook. Again, there is NO fee for this. This is why I love booking Southwest flights using points!
My favorite thing about Southwest is if you have points, you can speculatively book flights and if you need to cancel there are no fees at all! The points just go right back into the account they were booked from.
Anyone able to find a good flight for a future trip or get points back on an existing reservation?
Want More Southwest Points and a Friend to Fly with your for Free?
All three Southwest credit cards are offering an increased limited time offer. The best part about the points earned from the welcome offer is that the points earned count towards the companion pass! Learn more about the offer and the companion pass here.
- Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Plus Card: Earn 50,000 points after spending $2,000 on the card within the first 3 months; $69 annual fee. This card will earn you 3,000 bonus points on your account anniversary.

Cover Me ... I'm Going In
This week, I'm guest blogging with Mark Noce at Mark Noce Stories. I hope you'll come visit. I'm chatting about why I have a hard time being serious :)
In the meantime, I'm sharing in Stina Lindblatt's cover reveal for her upcoming novel, LET ME KNOW.
This shouldn't be happening again…
Amber Scott thought her screaming nightmares would end now that her stalker is locked up and awaiting trial. But they return when her slam-dunk case starts to fall apart. Explicit letters she allegedly wrote surface, suggesting she was the mastermind behind her assault, a willing victim.
Amber only feels safe in the arms of her boyfriend Marcus, the one person she can lean on. Until damning evidence from Marcus's past collides with the case and the media circus drags them both down. To protect Amber's reputation, Marcus has only one option: end their relationship. He won't risk further damage to her case, even if it means breaking her heart.
Amber has to find the strength to step into the spotlight and bring awareness to victims' rights before she's convicted in the court of public opinion. And she's really not sure what's worse—that her kidnapper could walk free, or that the seemingly endless attention and speculation will drive Marcus away permanently…
See how it all began for Amber and Marcus in Tell Me When.
Born in England, Stina loves to travel, and has lived in England, the US, Canada, and Finland. She spent a semester in graduate school living in central Finland, and a summer during her undergrad degree working in Helsinki. She has a Master's of Science degree in exercise physiology and has worked with elite athletes. In her free time, Stina is a photographer, mother of three adorable kids, and devoted wife. She currently lives in Calgary, Canada.
And we're back to me again. You can win a free Kindle copy of SOLOMON'S COMPASS at my website. All you have to do is take a couple of minutes to enter the fun contest over there. Here's a quick blurb, so you know what you're getting into :)
When Coast Guard Commander Taylor Campbell returns to Rock Harbor, Texas, to tend to her uncle's estate, she meets a mysterious former Navy SEAL, Jake Solomon, and learns her uncle didn't drown accidentally. His murder was one in a string of murders of a group of Vietnam veterans who called themselves the Compass Points.
Before her uncle died, he sent Taylor a message with the location of his buried treasure. Unearthing it will place her squarely in the killer's crosshairs, but she's determined to fulfill her uncle's last wish.

She and her friend, Hayley Siegel, recently formed the Needham High School Figure Skating Club, looking to expand beyond their sometimes-insular skating community and win gold for Needham High's blue and gold in competition, just like their athletic peers.
"When I started at Needham High School, I saw that there was a lot of attention to school sports," Itzkowitz said. "I realized that the athletes started to feel a lot of school spirit when they trained and competed on behalf of Needham High."
Itzkowitz has skated competitively for six years, training six days a week with her coaches, Carrie Wall and Bobby Martin. She usually has to go to Foxboro or Acton for ice time, making it difficult to participate in school activities.
"I love to skate, and I am very committed to improving and doing my best on the ice," Itzkowitz said. "Skating keeps me very busy, so I don't have time to join any sports or clubs at NHS."
Itzkowitz said she did some research and discovered that some high schools have competitive figure skating teams. Itzkowitz's mother, JoAnne Itzkowitz, said her daughter wanted to validate her sport in the eyes of her peers.
"With so many popular sports at the high school, her sport is virtually unknown," she said. "She wants it out there. Skating is a real sport."
JoAnne Itzkowitz added she's happy to see her daughter try to branch out and integrate figure skating into her school life.
"She skates every day," she said. "The skating world is very sheltered."
Itzkowitz's approached her friend and classmate, Siegel, to see if she was interested in forming a team. Siegel skated since she was four-year-old, starting with the Needham Park and Recreation Commission. She began skating competitively when she was in the sixth grade and is now a member of the Babson Skating Club, coached by Alberta Minkovitz and Susan Gray-Wisnia.
"Jordi asked me if I wanted to do a high school competition with her, and we needed to be an official club to do it," Siegel said. "I had heard about other high schools that have one so I thought it would be fun if we did too."
Itzkowitz contacted the U.S. Figure Skating Association to guide her in forming a team in Needham.
"I wanted to understand exactly what the requirements were so that I could approach our principal," Itzkowitz said. "I wrote a letter to Mr. Richards, and I was so excited when he e-mailed me back that he was interested. I couldn't believe it."
When Richards gave Itzkowitz the go-ahead, she sought a teacher adviser for the club, e-mailing the entire teaching staff. Science teacher Jill Krajewski replied, offering her help.
"I didn't know her before," Itzkowitz said, "but we met one morning before school, and she agreed to be the adviser."
Krajewski didn't know a lot about figure skating, but felt she could guide the fledgling club, which was officially formed in March.
"We're learning as we go," Krajewski said, adding that the club would look to add more team members in the fall.
And if more skaters join the club, Needham High School's chances for bringing home team titles at competitions would increase.
"Hopefully there will be other girls or boys who will want to join so that our team can grow and we can have a better chance of winning a competition because we will have more points from the other skaters," Siegel said.
The current two-member team skated in its first competition in April, performing programs taught by their coaches. Itzkowitz won gold in her category, skating a clean program to "Stray Cat Strut" and "The Pink Panther." Siegel also brought home the gold, winning her category after skating a clean program to "Cabaret."
"I was excited when they said, 'Representing Needham High School' because I am very accustomed to my usual competitions where I represent the Colonial Figure Skating Club," Itzkowitz said.
Itzkowitz said every school had a banner for the competition, including a blue and gold NHS banner with a rocket logo that the pair made.
"It was fun to hear people cheering for their school, and to meet skaters from different schools," Itzkowitz said. "I am excited to have the extra opportunity to compete on behalf of NHS."

United States District Court, D. South Carolina, Orangeburg Division
September 14, 2017
Jerome A. Owens, #299108, a/k/a Jerome Owens, Plaintiff,v.Alan Wilson, South Carolina Attorney General, and State of South Carolina, Defendants.
F. Anderson, Jr. United States District Judge
pro se Plaintiff, Jerome A. Owens, is an inmate at
the Allendale Correctional Institution. He brings this action
under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, contending that Defendants
violated his constitutional rights.
reviewing the pleadings, the Magistrate Judge assigned to
this action[1] prepared a thorough Report and
Recommendation ("Report") sua sponte and
opined that this case should be dismissed without prejudice
and without issuance and service of process. (ECF No. 14).
The Report sets forth, in detail, the relevant facts and
standards of law on this matter, and this Court incorporates
those facts and standards without a recitation. Plaintiff
filed objections to the Report on May 15, 2017. (ECF No. 17).
Thus, this matter is ripe for review.
Court is charged with making a de novo determination
of those portions of the Report to which specific objections
are made, and the Court may accept, reject, or modify, in
whole or in part, the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge,
or recommit the matter to the Magistrate Judge with
instructions. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
However, a district court is only required to conduct a
de novo review of the specific portions of the
Magistrate Judge's Report to which an objection is made.
See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b);
Carniewski v. W. Virginia Bd. of Prob. & Parole,
974 F.2d 1330 (4th Cir. 1992). In the absence of specific
objections to portions of the Report of the Magistrate, this
Court is not required to give an explanation for adopting the
recommendation. See Camby v. Davis, 718 F.2d 198,
199 (4th Cir. 1983).
Owens argues that his prior convictions in Florida, which
enhanced his sentence, should not have been considered in
calculating the sentence he is currently serving. (ECF No. 17
p. 3). Plaintiff lists his sentence enhancement as an injury,
and he seeks to negate or lessen the sentence. (ECF No. 17 p.
2). The Supreme Court of the United States, however, has held
that "[h]abeas corpus is the exclusive remedy for a
state prisoner who challenges the fact or duration of his
confinement and seeks immediate or speedier release, even
though such a claim may come within the literal terms of
§ 1983." Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477,
481 (1994) (citing Preiser v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S.
475, 488-90 (1973)).
Heck, the issue before the Court was whether a state
prisoner could challenge the constitutionality of his
conviction in a suit for damages under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
Id. at 478. The Court noted that "the
dismissal of [plaintiff's] §1983 action was correct
because [the] courts below found that his damages claims
challenged the legality of his conviction."
Id. at 477-88, 489-90. The Court further noted that
a damages claim related to a sentence that has not been
invalidated is not cognizable under §1983. Id.
at 487.
Plaintiff alleges that his sentence is unconstitutionally
lengthy, and he is seeking damages in the form of equitable
relief.[2] Plaintiff asks this Court for a
"declaration of the Federal Law, " alleging that
he was "deprived Due Process of a Federal Statutory
Law." (ECF No. 4 p. 9). Plaintiff also contends that
"[t]he facts of Heck authority and the case
law does not have any bearing on the facts or question before
the court in the Magistrates [sic] report and
recommendation." (ECF No. 17 p. 3). Plaintiff further
states that Heck "only hints at the answer to
the current issue before this Court in dicta and therefore
does not constitute directly applicable precedent."
(ECF No. 17 p. 6).
Owens is mistaken. Heck is directly applicable to
the present case because Owens is contesting his sentence and
the enhancement thereof. See Heck, 512 U.S. at 487.
The Magistrate Judge thus correctly opined that, under the
Supreme Court's ruling in Heck, Owens' claim
for damages and release from custody is barred, unless he can
demonstrate that the conviction or sentence has been
successfully challenged, because the success of his action
would implicitly question the validity of his conviction or
duration of his sentence. See Id. Moreover, as Owens
has not demonstrated that his conviction has been reversed,
expunged, or declared invalid by a state court, and no
federal writ has been issued, his action must be dismissed
for failure to state a claim, and his request for damages
under §1983 is barred. See Heck, 512 U.S. at
477-78 ("[T]he dismissal of [plaintiff's]
§1983 action was correct because [the] courts below
found that his damages claims challenged the legality of his
conviction."). As the Magistrate Judge correctly
stated, "[t]o the extent Plaintiff is challenging his
conviction, a writ of habeas corpus is his exclusive
remedy." (ECF No. 14 p. 4); see Heck, at
after carefully reviewing the applicable laws, the record in
this case, the Report, and the objection thereto, this Court
finds the Magistrate Judge's Report fairly and accurately
summarizes the facts and applies the correct principles of
law. The Report is incorporated herein by reference.
Accordingly, this Court adopts the Magistrate Judge's
Report and Recommendation. (ECF No. 14). Thus, this action is
dismissed without prejudice and without issuance and service
of process.

WONDER WOMAN - podcast review out now
Amazingly, DC have pulled it out of the bag when it comes to their cinematic universe, with Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman actually being a pretty good film. While it does play it safe, it is a refreshingly focused film, especially in a franchise that has become known for its rushed pacing. Gal Gadot stars as our titular hero, a naive Amazonian warrior who traverses the landscape of World War I and learns that the humans evil may not be as black and white as she thought. A refreshingly succinct cinematic outing, we discuss the themes and motifs in Wonder Woman, and question how she'll fit into future DC movies.

Jeff Jackson, a Democratic state senator representing Mecklenburg's District 37, knows how to have fun with a snow day.
His constituents -- or at least his Facebook friends -- got a kick out of that, with more than 100 comments and 500 likes by 9:30 a.m. He got a long list of requests, from raising teacher pay to banning puppy mills and legalizing marijuana.
Around 8:30 a.m., Jackson started tallying his accomplishments:
By that time the #JustOneLegislator winter fantasy had gone viral. Mutual Facebook friend Laura Hehn had a suggestion -- "Work together and make some positive changes!" -- and even offered a couple of new hashtags: #JustTwoLegislators or #JustTheJeffs.

When Interfaith Prayer Is NOT a "Foreign Fire"
Earlier this year, I participated in a very controversial event. An event so shocking that it was branded by one Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem as a gathering that "sickens his stomach" and a "strange fire," — a clear reference to the demise of Nadav and Avihu in Vayikra (10:1-2). Furthermore, the comments on social media as well as my private discussions with people left many wondering how I can halachically justify attending the event in the first place.
What, you may ask, could have caused such a stir?
The occasion was The Day to Praise. It was an event where Christians were invited into an Orthodox synagogue in Jerusalem to partake in a Hallel service to celebrate Yom Haatzmaut conducted by members of the Jewish community who are involved in Jewish-Christian relations. I wrote about this event in advance and thus became a lightening rod for this criticism.
The Day to Praise was a private event sponsored by the Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation under the auspices of Rabbi Shlomo Riskin. There was separate seating and everyone wore head coverings. The format of the event was as follows: a short explanatory dvar Torah on the Psalm was given by a Jew, a Christian read the Psalm in English or Spanish, followed by a musical interlude referencing the Psalm. Six psalms, six divrei Torah, and six songs, with Rabbi Riskin opening and concluding the service with messages stressing the importance of Christian support of Israel and the miracle of the State of Israel in our lifetime.
Given the 2000 year history of Church antagonism to the Jewish people, the shock of Christians coming into synagogue to partake in a service understandably evokes powerful visceral responses. Many people had the gut reaction that this must be wrong and that there certainly must be some Halacha prohibiting it. The consensus among those critical of the event is that inasmuch as Christianity is Avodah Zarah it is forbidden to pray with together with Christians. Others simply said that interfaith prayer is generally forbidden without even inquiring about or even being willing to hear what exactly was done at the event. Some accused me of blurring the lines between Jews and Christians, which could lead to assimilation, as well as endorsing and enabling Christian evangelizing of Jews.
While discomfort is understandable, we dare not assume that what is uncomfortable and new is therefore forbidden.
As for the claim that Christianity is Avodah Zarah, I would caution my interlocutors that before labeling Christians with the most negative of definitions, we should know our sources well.
Many people are surprised to learn that the definition of Avodah Zarah as it pertains to Jews is different from what constitutes Avodah Zarah for a non-Jew. There are practices and beliefs that are forbidden for Jews as Avodah Zarah that are permissible to non-Jews and are consistent with the seven Noahide laws. In other words, between pure Pagan idolatry on one end of the Avodah Zara spectrum and pure monotheistic faith on the other, there are beliefs and behaviors that are permissible to non-Jews while Jews are held to a more restrictive standard.
The normative position of Halacha is that Christianity is not forbidden Avodah Zara for non Jews. This is the opinion of the majority and that of Tosafot, the Rema, and the Shach, the latter being among the most mainstream and dominant authorities in modern Halacha. Even my interlocutors, who perhaps prefer a different rabbinic authority, would have to agree that the Rema and the Shach are worthy authorities. It should be noted that these opinions were rendered centuries ago. Christian theology and doctrine have developed significantly since the Rema's time.
Of particular relevance to our topic is the context of the Rema's statement.
In discussing business partnerships that involve oaths, the Rema writes that even though one's partner in business may be gentile and therefore a believer in Christianity, his oaths in the name of G-d are not to be seen as idolatrous because "gentiles nowadays do not take oaths to idolatry and even though they mention their false god, nevertheless their intention is to refer to the creator of heaven and earth — however they combine [the belief in G-d] with something else" and this is not a problem because, as the Rema continues, "they are not prohibited from combined belief."
In other words, when they refer to G-d, they mean G-d.
There are two additional items of halacha that bear mentioning here before addressing the Day to Praise specifically.
First, in the Shulchan Aruch (O.C. 215) it is clearly ruled that one says Amen in response to the blessing of a non-Jew provided one hears the entire blessing.
What is Amen? In saying Amen, I declare a shared belief and affirmation of the spiritual statement of praise by the one who recited the blessing. Why do I say amen to the blessing of a non Jew? The answer is simple. G-d has been praised. I need to hear the entire blessing to know that G-d — and not something else — has been praised. Provided that the words of the blessing are liturgically correct, Amen is said.
Second point: Rambam, in the Mishneh Torah (Work of Offerings 3:2) rules that sacrificial offerings are accepted and offered in the temple from Jews and non-Jews alike. This is not surprising as the well known verse states, "for My house is a house of prayer for all nations" (Isaiah 56:7). What is surprising to many is Maimonides ruling that offerings are accepted from a non-Jew "even if he is an idol worshiper". Even an idol worshiper may bring an offering in the Temple? How can we allow such a thing? The answer — like the above ruling regarding saying Amen to a blessing of a gentile — is that our G-d is being served. The offering of an idolater is accepted because this person entered into our Temple to serve Hashem, in our way, in our house of worship, and led by our Kohanim.
Let me be clear. I raise this last point despite the fact that as I explained above Christians are not worshipers of Avodah Zarah. My point is only to silence those critics who choose to turn a blind eye to the majority opinion and define Christianity in more severe terms.
Which brings us to the Day to Praise event.
It is well known that there are a great number of Christian supporters of Israel. These are people who see a profound theological significance in the existence of the State of Israel. They understand and believe that the long awaited return of the People of Israel to their land that we are experiencing is, in fact, the ingathering of the exiles foretold in the Bible.
What could be more appropriate than for these Christians to praise G-d – who they believe is both Creator of Heaven and Earth and G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — for the State of Israel on Yom Haatzmaut? That such praise and thanks should be the Jewish form of praise and thanks, under the guidance and leadership of rabbis, together with Jews, in a synagogue in Jerusalem should not make the event more problematic. In light of the above sources, the facts that the event included Jewish liturgy and was held in a Jewish house of worship only serve to make the event less problematic.
Numerous critics of the Day to Praise cited Rav Moshe Feinstein's opposition to interfaith events. It must be noted that in the famous responsum in question Rav Moshe frames the problem by referring multiple times to the fact that such events are initiated by the Christians with the goal of causing Jews to assimilate. It makes perfect sense that in the United States of the mid 20th century an interfaith event on neutral ground, initiated and led by Christians would serve to blur the lines between the Christian and Jewish communities. In a context in which the danger of assimilation was paramount the problem with such events was real and obvious.
What about an event initiated, planned, and carried out by rabbis? What about a context in which the chance of Christian proselytizing is non-existent? What about liturgy that is only Jewish?
Perhaps a more appropriate responsum from Rav Moshe Feinstein would be this:
Rav Moshe rules that Jewish children are permitted to pray in school together with non Jewish children — even though the prayer was composed by Christian authors — because there is no specific Christian content in the prayers nor is there any danger of such prayers leading Jewish children away from Judaism.
Earlier in the same responsum, in response to the question of whether or not gentiles are obligated in prayer, Rav Moshe concludes that "inasmuch as from the standpoint of the fundamentals of faith there is an obligation to pray, it is also an obligation for a gentile to pray… and he is rewarded for his faith in G-d and his prayer is an obligation."
We pray that the world will know the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Even the Rambam, who was not an admirer of Christianity, wrote that Christianity is part of the mystery of G-d to bring out His designs — "to pave the way for the coming of the Messiah". In a responsum Rambam ruled that one may teach the Torah to them because they believe in its divinity. If Judaism mandated that His house "will be a house of prayer for all nations" and Psalm 117 — a line in Hallel that is sung in every synagogue — clearly heralds a time when "all the nations praise G-d for what He has done to us," then what better way for these developments to come about than through events such as Day to Praise?
Jewish-Christian relations are not for everyone, but it should not be labeled as something that goes against our halachic system or undermines Judaism. If we are going to be "light unto the nations" that requires interfacing with other religions based upon religious values and theology. It also requires us to have the courage to bring in another faith, who in the past has been an enemy, to begin a new path in reconciliation.
"Hallelu et Hashem kol goyim… ki gavar aleinu chasdo"
"Prasie Hashem all nations…, for his kindness has overwhelmed us"
In other words, Gentiles praise G-d for giving the Jews the State of Israel.
"Foreign fire"? Try "Kiddush Hashem" or "Beginning of Redemption"!

The Black Grouse
Price: $25-$35
Strength: 40%
Black Grouse is superior to Famous Grouse in all respects. The nose gives vanilla and wood on top of the regular Grouse Macallan-influenced apricot. Black Grouse is smooth from beginning to end and unlike Famous Grouse has a nice finish with particularly pleasant wood notes. A delightful little blend, but as a blend lacks the potency of flavor or richness I usually appreciate in single malt whisky. 82 points (B-).
Other Famous Grouse reviews:
Shop for whisky (and help Scotch Drammer) at The Whisky Exchange.

This summer is jam packed with some pretty awesome movies like the action packed Iron Man & Superman & your pet should have a play in all of this superhero fun as well! The girls (Ms P & Ms B) pretty much do everything with us, I think they are the two most spoiled labs I've ever known! Although they can't tag along with Hubby & I to the movies, we brought Marvel & DC Comics home to them with some help from Petsmart!
Petsmart is a regular visit in our house, from getting the girls groomed, to shopping for dog food, new squeaky toys, bones & more, Petsmart has everything you need to keep your canine happy & healthy!
I was sent two shirts for the girls, a Batman & Superman shirt from the Marvel & DC Comics line! Both of the shirts are super cute & they look adorable on our dogs! The girls didn't really know what to think about their new action shirts & instead of running around so I could snap a few photos they both plopped down & had no intention of getting back up!
The shirts do have a little bit of stretch in them, I've never put clothes on either girl but I had no problem getting these off & on. Right know you can find DC & Marvel shirts on sale online at Petsmart for $12, be sure to check out the adorable bandana's! You can find Wonder Woman, Iron Man & even a Supergirl Dress, there is one for every heroic canine!
Aren't they cute? Shop online at Petsmart or at your local store for DC & Marvel Products! Stay connected with Petsmart on Facebook & Twitter!

It was our pleasure to photograph Megan & Keith's wedding at the Crystal Point in Point Pleasant.
After the first look we headed down the road to Riverfront Park for a few more photos.
They got lucky and the rain held off until exactly 30 seconds after their outdoor garden ceremony ended!
Then on to the reception where Kris Abrahamsen from Elite Entertainment provided a great mix of music for them and their guests to dance to. Megan even surprised Keith with a custom made bobble head cake topper! So cute!!!
