On Saturday, September 24, the Spring Lake High School Marching Band competed in two marching competitions at Kenowa Hills High School and Grand Haven High School. The band performed their 2016 show, "Music of the Night" for fans and judges alike, treating them to the sounds of "All Night Long" by Lionel Richie, "Nights in White Satin" by The Moody Blues, "Late in the Evening" by Paul Simon, and "The Music of the Night" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical, "The Phantom of the Opera."
The Lakers placed second in Class B that afternoon at Kenowa Hills, scoring a close 79.1 to winner Ionia's 79.7. Unfazed, the band went on to win Class B that night in Grand Haven, scoring about two and a half points over second place Comstock Park with a 79.5. In addition, the SLHS drumline and colorguard each scored 2nd in Class B at both shows.
Starting at 10:00 that morning, the band rehearsed on the fields behind the high school to work on their show before they left. In constant pursuit of a perfection, the band repped multiple portions of their show to make sure that all members knew where they were going on the field.
After one last run-through, the band members donned their uniforms and hit the road. The band performed in the early afternoon to round out the Class B bands. Senior drum major Faulkner Bodbyl-Mast felt "really good about the performance." Having won every competition for the past two seasons, many band members were slightly shocked. Upon hearing the results, Bodbyl-Mast noted that "upperclassmen (including myself) were down and surprised with the result, but grew to accept it…and revitalized with pizza."
After recharging at the school with a quick dinner break, the Lakers hopped right back on the busses and traveled just a short ways down the road to Grand Haven. Being the closest show to Spring Lake, the band got a warm welcome as the drum majors saluted and were cheered on by the home crowd all the way through their field exit.
Center snare Micah Prior thought that,"the energy was better…there was a lot of hype from the battery, especially me, for the GH show and the rest of the season." While the win that night was a satisfying end to a long day, the Lakers are not about to rest.
With two competitions remaining in the season, the SLHS Marching Band will be working as hard as ever. Bodbyl-Mast adds that, "our goal is to see the full potential that this very fine ensemble has to offer." Prior adds that, as the show comes to its final form, he hopes, "that we really create something that everyone remembers for a long time." The marching band performs next on Saturday, October 7, at 7:30 at the Allendale Invitational at Allendale High School.

Fatty liver disease is beginning to reach epidemic proportions, especially in women of menopausal age. Estrogen levels may influence body fat distribution and many women in the early menopausal years gain fat mass as their estrogen levels drop. Women of childbearing age tend to store fat in the lower body, while men and post-menopausal women store fat around the abdomen. This is commonly known as being 'apple-shaped'. Animal studies have shown that a lack of estrogen can lead to excessive weight gain. However, the exact mechanisms are not yet understood.
More than 60 percent of menopausal and post-menopausal women suffer from obesity due to the drop in their estrogen levels. Moreover, women going through menopause are more likely to be diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease than men. Studies have shown that decreased levels of estrogen specifically target the liver and alters metabolic processes that cause fat accumulation. [1]
Women going through menopause have an increased tendency to store visceral fat in their livers. A condition which often leads to symptomatic problems including inflammation.
Miller said fatty liver disease is a public health issue that will affect many people. Although it is usually associated with alcoholism, it is increasingly diagnosed in individuals who consume little to no alcohol, especially those who are overweight or obese, including adolescents and children. [2]
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease usually causes no signs and symptoms. When it does, they may include:
The liver filters out dead cells, toxins, drugs, chemicals and all sorts of debris. It processes bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. And most importantly a healthy liver is the cornerstone of a healthy immune system. You need a clean liver!
There are several different stages of fatty liver disease. The first stage is where fat builds up in your liver without any inflammation or scarring. For many people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the condition won't get any worse than this and a serious liver condition won't develop.
However, in some people, the build-up of fat causes inflammation and scarring, leading to cirrhosis. Cirrhosis can gradually affect how well your liver works, and it can be life-threatening. Fatty liver disease can also increase your risk of getting liver cancer.
Now researchers have shown in studies of postmenopausal animals, that a mix of phytochemicals, along with vitamin D, may help protect the liver against inflammation caused by fat accumulation. [1]
Four key ingredients used together make up the phytochemical compound that causes fat cells to burst and release their contents:
These four ingredients eaten regularly along with vitamin D and magnesium supplementation are known as fat busters. They cause fat cells to burst and release their contents. A decent diet high in astringent fruits and vegetables, full of fat busting nutrients along with regular, moderate, aerobic exercise should increase successful weight loss.
Miller said it's nearly impossible to get enough of any of these compounds through food or supplements to gain any benefit. However, she said, together they have a synergistic effect that "cuts the doses you need."
"We were able to demonstrate that our phytochemical treatment is shuttling the fat away from the fat tissue to be burned or stored elsewhere," Miller said. "Ultimately what we saw was that there was no damage in the liver being caused by this increased fat associated with menopause."

They are now discovering that children as young as 5 are developing fatty liver disease, through over consumption of sugars, sodas, fructose, corn syrup and lack of exercise.
The study concludes that aging in women increases the likelihood of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Since we can't stop aging, we must look to other options to protect our bodies as we transition through life stages. [3]
So increasing your phytochemicals and Vitamin D may help protect your liver and your health. However, liver disease is also reversible with a complete lifestyle change. Meaning more exercise and a healthier diet. It is the one organ of the body that can regenerate itself given the right conditions.
Eating beets and carrots can help stimulate and improve overall liver function. Beets and carrots are rich in glutathione, a protein that helps detoxify the liver. Both are extremely high in plant-flavonoids and beta-carotene.
There is also a natural herbal drink called "Liver Flush" by Omega Alpha. Its main ingredients include milk thistle, dandelion, burdock root, and wormwood shoot.
Another herbal supplement is "Livamend" which has some great reviews. It contain milk thistle along with, artichoke extract, sarsaparilla extract and wasabi powder. Livamend helps to fight cell mutation, reduce tissue inflammation, and kill bacteria and fungi. It is a wonderful natural formula which helps to stimulate the flow of bile from the liver and assists in cleansing the liver and blood.
HealthForce Nutritionals Liver Rescue Liver Support is another liver supporting supplement.
A damaged liver is unable to metabolize proteins properly and break down the amino acids produced in the body from eating animal-based foods. Avoid red meat, such as beef and bison. As well, you should eliminate or limit the eggs and dairy products you eat.
Also avoid sugary foods such as candy, ice cream and cake and salty foods like potato chips, which are simple carbohydrates with high levels of sugar and sodium, respectively. Eat foods with natural sugars and fibrous carbs, such as strawberries, oranges or apples, to avoid unhealthy levels of sugar and sodium in your liver.
Avoid alcohol; depending on the severity of damage to your liver, a chance for regeneration can occur if you abstain from all alcoholic beverages.
Chris Masterjohn just published an article on his blog, The Daily Lipid, looking into the research on what actually causes fatty liver disease. It's a bit technical, but the information is simply fantastic. His work is some of the best there is on nutrition and health, and I recommend a read.

Oh how wonderful it would be to have a second chance at getting things right. If we had that opportunity in "REAL" life then I would have certainly lived it differently. I might not have sold my Atari 2600, or thrown away my stash of Phantom comics, which I had painstakingly collected for 7 years. In Batman V Superman (B v S): Dawn of Justice: Ultimate Edition – "REEL" life gets a second chance and comes out kinda on top.
Now when we heard of B v S, and the first onscreen appearance of these two iconic superheroes, back in March 2016, all us comic book nerds were "jizzing" our pants in anticipation. Finally, we would get to see the "dream team" together in pure celluloid glory. However, when it came into cinemas, many of us were disappointed. Like a schizophrenic episode of Max Headroom, what we got was a choppy, poorly put together movie, without any real cohesive narrative.
Thankfully the Ultimate Edition seems to correct this.
18 months following the events in Man of Steel, the world is still recovering from the Kryptonian invasion led by General Zod. Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) is most affected, having lost one of his buildings, including the people inside, during the fight between Superman (Henry Cavill) and Zod (Michael Shannon). This sets him on a path to bring down Superman by any means necessary.
With Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) weaving his machinations in the shadows, and the enigmatic Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) searching for a lost treasure from her past, the ground is set for an exciting showdown between the Son of Krypton and the Bat of Gotham.
Similar to Michael Keatons career, second time around the block seems to have worked well for B v S. When the original theatrical release came out it clocked in at around 2.5 hours. The Ultimate Edition adds an extra 30 minutes to proceedings, which enhances the viewing experience considerably. Gone are the choppy edits or switches in narrative that reminds you of a fly having an epileptic seizure. Instead, Clark Kent/Superman is given more screen time with his story fleshed out more. The movie also, as a whole flows much smoother than whipped cream on a scone.
One wonders why they never put the Ultimate Edition into theatres. I believe it would have fared better both critically and possibly financially. Of course, studios need an edit in cinemas that will provide enough screenings per day to recoup finances. However, at what cost.
The Ultimate Edition is a far better and more satisfying watch than the theatrical release. It adds little scenes here and there that enhance the story overall. It will be the only one I will watch from now on.
For those who have seen the original theatrical release, or for those who haven't, I would highly recommend purchasing the bluray or digital download of the Ultimate Edition. Forget what you saw in the cinemas. This is…….Ultimately…..the only version to watch (Agghhh….more bad puns).
I give this 3.5/5 chillies…….the right amount of spice.
P.S. – The Bluray comes jammed packed with extra features as well. You will also get some behind the scenes of both the upcoming Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman…
I give the Bluray extras 4/5 chillies…..extremely spicy.

Following-up on Wednesday's thoughts…
Imagine what it was like to be Job's friends. Watching him lose so much. (What do you say to someone who has just lost ten children!)
We learn in the book of Job that the counsel and conversations Job's friends provided were not always very helpful. I bet they thought they were doing the right things—trying to move Job through his grief. But they also wanted to help Job feel better so their upside down world could go back to normal. Their words and impatience were not what Job needed.
Job needed to see God. And he did.
"My ears had heard you but now my eyes have seen you" (Job 42:5).
I am reminded of this…
When I am walking with my friends through their pain, disappointment, or deep sadness, I am called to show up in love. I am not called to be God. As much as I'd like to "make it better" for them, I need to listen for God's guidance to know how best to support them.
Sometimes God may use me to encourage them. Sometimes, to provide advice. Always, to love them.
I need to let them see God's love in me…in the way God wants me to show up.
God, please help me to know what YOU want me to do, or who YOU want me to be to my Girlfriends when their worlds are upside down. Thank you for loving them a zillion times more than I could ever love them.
P.S. This story has a great ending…"After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before [14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, 1,000 donkeys, 7 sons, 3 daughters]…The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first…After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. And so he died, old and full of years."

security including coastal security. The Navy and the Coast
Guard have initiated several measures to improve the security
of the coastline.
Both the organisations have adopted a synergistic
approach with other stakeholders of coastal security to work
towards establishing an effective mechanism for improving
coastal security and preventing a repeat of such incidents.
Participants representing central and state government
ministries and departments are participating in the seminar.
These include senior bureaucrats of the Ministry of Home,
Shipping, Ports, Petroleum and Natural Gas, Ministry of
Environment and Forest, security agencies like the Indian
Coast Guard, Police, and CISF.

I'm not talking about Arizona, nor am I talking about Jean Grey of the X-Men. So, moving on...
I'm talking about my personal story of rising from the ashes and starting anew. This is something I've never liked to share, but after three years and encouragement from my dearest friends to write about it, here we go. At 9:00pm on May 20, 2009, an electrical fire started above the ceiling in my bedroom. (I learned from the fire inspector this was the flash-point.)
My mother had called me while I was at a friend's house a few miles away, telling me to hurry home because she heard loud noises on the second floor. Fearing somebody had climbed a ladder to break in a back window, I raced home while my mother locked herself in the first-floor bathroom. A moment before reaching my street, not even five minutes after the initial phone call, Mom called again to tell me the house was on fire and that she and my dog had made it out safely. Pulling on to my street, I couldn't reach the driveway, as it was blocked by the first of many firetrucks that would arrive that night. After parking and running to the neighbor's yard to see my mother, I learned that the door had shut behind her and she didn't have a key to let the firefighters inside. I ran to my front door to unlock it before the firefighters tried to break through, something that would've taken precious minutes, as the antique door was made of three-inch-thick solid oak. I ran back to my mother, who by this time was surrounded by a few neighbors who happened to be walking down the road at that time.
The next four hours are a blur. Too often, people say they're in a state of shock. That night I felt a
searing pain in my head and the rest of my body nearly shut down. I did
all I could to act strong and keep my mother's spirits up while trying to avoid passing out. I remember very little, and the night plays out in my mind like simple photographs. At some point, a dear friend from down the street walked over. He stayed with us for hours just to attend to my dog. Mom called my aunt (her sister) to give her the news. She drove over to check on us then returned home to make room for us later that night. Though the fire was out within an hour, about 25 firefighters from five stations ended up working throughout the night to tend to the fire and its aftermath. Around 1:00am, I was allowed to enter my home with two firefighters for a very brief moment to gather possessions from the dining room and bathroom at the front of the house, the only two rooms not to have received fire or water damage. I scooped up some of my mother's things from the bathroom then managed to find a few pieces of clothing in the foyer closet. After this, the remaining firefighters left, and I left with my mother and my dog to stay at my aunt's house.
I still understand how I made it safely to her house. I remember shaking while holding the steering wheel, yet I don't remember a second of the drive there. I also don't remember passing out in the living room recliner, only waking up there the next morning with my mother near me on the sofa. I guess we were both too far gone to make it to the guest bedrooms. Within moments of waking, I had a complete breakdown. I couldn't breath, couldn't speak. I dug my hands into the recliner's arms with all my force as I realized, item by item, what was lost in the fire. It took my mother's yelling to startle me back into reality.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this. I'll share the rest of the story tomorrow, and I truly wish you get something out of it.

Mardu Lifegain Allies – A 100 ticket Modern deck
For starters, those of you unfamiliar with this event should check it out here. Now those of you who keep up with me as a Magic player know that most of my "brewing" is kept to 40 cards, so generally when an event comes around that needs 75, if I am smart, I just pick up a deck and jockey it. Well, pretty much knowing I wasn't going to test, I went through, found a reasonable mono-red deck, tweaked a bit to get it under budget and then I was done. I figured the field would mostly be cheap creature aggro decks, so if I could get on par I could just try to outplay people. Then it happened……
I was just browsing through MTGO and I came across the idea of Allies. I wasn't actively playing during original Zendikar block, so I did some research and my ears got really piqued up. I like goofy deck, and if I though that small creature aggro would be the meta, then small creature lifegain aggro should generally beat that. Plus, instead of taking a "real" deck and making it cheaper, I just started brewing from the beginning. I mean, these allies aren't exactly expensive dollar-wise, so I should be able to put together something unexpected. And hell, it would be a fun story if I actually did something with it.
I started by putting everything in I wanted, clicking them over from MTGO to my deck until I was done and I had just over 60 cards…..before I added lands. Well, cuts must be made. Summarizing what was a kinda long and arduous process, I ended up with a BW Allies deck that was focused on lifegain. I also heard rumblings of a budget affinity and living end deck, so I wanted to make sure those were covered. The Scrappers seemed like basically the perfect thing to bring in, with there being almost nothing else, so we now shifted to Mardu. This allowed me to drop in the single Munda and Chasm Guide. Munda is just a solid guy to cleanse your draws moving forward, and the Chasm Guide could give me a chance to March or Rally straight to victory. I liked the idea of the Bala Ged Thiefs to help shut down any form of control and the Diabolists would give me a quick way to burn down another deck that was just stalling me out without an alternate win condition.
Despite not being an Ally, I felt the Eldrazi Displacer was once of the best friends I could have. I would allow me to blink my own guys with CIP effects to repeat them, stop my opponent's creatures from attacking, and even have a really solid 3/3 for 3 body when needed. This was certainly not a deck prone towards removal, but you have to have some, so the 2 Path's in the main deck would hopefully suffice when my opponent dropped something down that was nearly impossible for me to deal with.
The mana was just a matter of me trying to insure I got some fetches for the Retreat – a way of activating some of the abilities at instant speed, and then making it all work while still giving me a chance to have the colorless needed for the Displacer to work. This is where the budget got real funny because I had to make some decisions I didn't really want to just so I could keep under budget:
In the end, we got a deck that doesn't necessarily need to attack, or even necessarily block to both win and not lose:
So, after playing the deck for 3 weeks and really getting to look at it I came to some really harsh realities:
#1 – I didn't have enough land. Just, period, I was often stuck down a land, so it really needed one more in it.
#2 – I couldn't do a thing in the world about any enchantment, which was just a horrid oversight on my part when building the deck
#3 – Some of the sideboard options I had were just bad and needed to be looked at again.
All of that said, I went and said, "Well, I wonder if I can make this deck any better if I were to start over again today?" I mostly decided that I liked the main deck. With a few small changes, I thought it was great and did exactly what I wanted it to from a spell perspective. The lands needed to be swapped up. A lot of the changes needed to happen in the board where certain tweaks were needed to insure I could cover my bases more cleanly. After a big of tinkering (and in fairness, no further testing), I now have the 2.0 version of the deck – the version I would submit if I had to do it over again. Note: SOI was not released when this challenge started, so SOI cards were not considered.
I feel this version does a better job of shoring up some of the holes the deck had, and with the one Tazri maindeck, a small tutor aspect to be able to find what is needed after board. Value of this deck as of this article: 98.96 tix
So this was just a quick primer on what I was thinking, and what I would do if we had to do it all over again.
Thanks for the read and keep playing everyone!

post match review
Wednesday: Uganda v Canada
Thursday: Uganda v Netherlands
In the 1st three games, Uganda's top order failed. They are having two more chances to make thing in right way and probably avoid Uganda from a nightmare ending to the ICC World Cricket League Division 2. Uganda will play against Canada on Wednesday in fourth place. Canada is currently in fifth position and pre-tournament favourites Netherlands are in last position. Peter Kirsten's team should have to find a way of winning streak, which lost to Kenya at the United Cricket Club Ground in Windhoek, Namibia.

Choral Speaking CompetitionApril 25, 2011
Our society held an annual choral speaking competition during the 28th of April. All the students in the school participated in this massive event. Students were split into six groups from junior 1 to senior 3 and participated according to their English classes.
The event was held in two separate locations which were the ground floor of the JE center for senior 1 and senior 2 classes and the student activity center for junior 1, junior 2 and senior 3 classes. Due to time constraints the competition for junior 3 classes was postponed and the judges went into their classes to judge their choral speaking during regular English lessons the following week.
The judges for this year's competition were Ms Janet, Mr Paul, Mr Jeffrey, Mr Timothy and Ms Lisa. The titles for each level were as follows:
Junior 1
|Leaping from Primary to Secondary
Junior 2
|Am I wasting my time?
Junior 3
|Exam, Exam, Exam
Senior 1
|From Junior to Senior
Senior 2
|Am I staying or leaving?
Senior 3
|Tertiary education embraces me
This year due to poor schedule and location management, the whole event was very chaotic. We apologize for any inconveniences caused. Though it was a mess on that day we still managed to successfully complete the event. We learned a lot from this experience and we hope next year we can once again hold a choral speaking competition but with improvements from the experience collected this year.
9 April 2011April 9, 2011
It's April and here we marched towards a new month! Today, all of us were separated into 2 different room, and played 2 different activities. The first activity we had is called "Smack the Word". There is a few words written on random places on the whiteboard, and a small and soft bat on the table. Once the fellowship captain called out the word, a member in each group is required to grab the bat as fast as possible and smack it on the word on the whiteboard. It was really exciting, especially when we see how the losing team catch up with the winning team after felling behind for around 10 points.
The second activity we had is to solve a human puzzle. At the beginning, we were playing in groups, holding random group member's hand. Then we have to do every possible actions to solve the puzzle. After that, we played the activity altogether. At this time, it seems more difficult to solve it, since it is a huge puzzle and requires teamwork from every member. Luckily we managed to solve it, and played another round of this interesting activity.
Below is some interesting pictures taken during the activity.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 9, 2010) - Lundin Mining Corporation (TSX:LUN)(OMX:LUMI) ("Lundin Mining" or the "Company") reports that very heavy rains over the last few days in the Extremadura region of Spain, where the Aguablanca Mine is located, have caused operations to be curtailed.
Associated with this rainfall, there has been a significant slope failure on the southwest wall of Aguablanca's open pit affecting the main access ramp which has curtailed operations pending an initial technical investigation. Following the investigation, a decision will be made regarding the future of the operations. This decision is likely within the next few weeks.
Aguablanca Mine is a small nickel/copper mine in southern Spain and is a non-core operation for Lundin Mining. Internal estimates ascribe around 3% of total NAV to this asset.
Commenting on the slope failure Mr. Phil Wright, President and CEO of Lundin Mining said, "Aguablanca has proven to be a very difficult operation this year with pit slope stability issues and despite the best advice, we have continuing problems."
"Pending the results of an initial assessment presently underway by mine management, we may conclude that a longer-term suspension of operations is necessary to allow further review of the alternatives for operating this asset, including the possible relocation of the main ramp.
"If we decide that a longer-term suspension is necessary, it is not possible to predict at this stage how long might be required prior to recommencement of operations and we will accordingly consider the carrying value of Aguablanca as part of our normal year-end financial statement preparation.
Lundin Mining has a carrying value for Aguablanca of approximately $120 million. Production at Aguablanca for 2010 is now expected to be 6,150 tonnes of nickel and 5,200 tonnes of copper.

200 DEGREE EXTENDED LIFE FUL HT ASIC MEMORY QUARTZ GAUGEProject ID: OG./00199/98
Źródło dofinansowania:
Dane projektu
Całkowity koszt:Niedostępne
Wkład UE:Niedostępne
Kraj koordynujący:France
Topic(s):1 - OIL AND GAS
System finansowania:DEM - Demonstration contracts
Geoservices, for many years, has operated down-hole pressure and temperature gauges to measure and record data at reservoir conditions in oil and gas wells.
Project target : Demonstration of the use of a full ASIC specially designed electronic chip (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) allows down-hole pressure and temperature gauges to perform at temperatures above 180°C, typically 1000 hours life time at 200°C.
As an installation, our new generation of gauges (MQG-X) already integrate a specially designed chip (HT-ASIC) developed by the SINTEF 4 years ago.
This ASIC replaces over 20 electronic components and has been implemented on gauges since 1994.
The fields results which are excellent, lead us to go one step forward : apply the same electronic integration method to the remaining active integrated circuits and sensible parts of the gauge.
The reliability improvement of the gauge at high temperature will open our activity to the rising "HP/HT market" (High Pressure/ High Temperature) in the North Sea, Italy, Gulf of Guinea, Arabian Gulf and the Far East
Installation in the field :
The pressure and temperature gauges are run down-hole in oil and gas wells, with a metallic wire (slick line) typically 0.092 "OD or clamped on a special drill collars (gauge carriers) when used in a DST (Drill Stem test). The depth can be over 5000 m and the temperature can reach 200°C. The gauges are battery powered and typical dimensions are 1"1/4 OD and 1m long.
Working principle :
The gauge consists of :
- 1 pressure sensor which converts the well down-hole pressure and temperature to electrical signals.
- 1 micro-controller which converts these signals to digital data
- 1 non volatile memory components where the data are stored.
The memory is download on surface through a computer which converts the raw data from the gauge into calibrated pressure and temperature information.
These values are then computed by reservoir engineers in order to characterize the reservoir behavior and evaluate its capacity to produce oil and/or gas within a profitable margin.

Did you just fall out of your chair reading that title?? I did when my husband sent me a message with this title. Yes, my husband sent me this recipe earlier this because he had seen someone on his Facebook feed post this absolutely delicious recipe. So I have to give major thanks to the lovely Jessica over at the sweet eats blog.
This was such a quick and easy fix and what made it even more perfect, I didn't even have to trek out to get the ingredients because most of us keep all these handy items on hand.
All you need is:
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 8-ounce block of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cups chocolate chips
First, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Then, add brown sugar and whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture starts to bubble. Set aside to cool, and whisk in vanilla.
Next, cream together cream cheese and powdered sugar for 60 seconds. With mixer on low speed, add in brown sugar and butter mixture. Mix until combined. I added the chocolate chips like the recipe called for at this time so the mixer could break them up into pieces. However, my kitchen aid didn't really break them apart too well. Oh well.
Finally, garnish with additional chopped chocolate. Serves with fruit, cookies, crackers, pretzels or a spoon.
Now doesn't that look yummy! I am making it to bring to my family ice-skating party tonight! Hopefully it's a big hit :)

According to reports, the boy cannot walk or do anything for himself.
He has been identified as Siphamandla Choma and has not been to school so far this year. He was allegedly assaulted at school by the principal accusing him and another boy of stealing R150.
Siphamandla twisted his spinal cord and lost the feeling to his legs. He is now wheelchair-bound. Christine Choma, the child's mother, was quoted saying that it was very painful for her to see and that she was not coping.
A case has been opened and the Education Department has been served with papers.
"The claim is based on a delictual claim – meaning the child were to be protected while at school, and the conduct of the principal we believe, is not in line with the policy of the government… more especially of the fact that there is no corporal punishment," Lawyer Eddie Mabaso told SABC news.
The Mpumalanga Education Department says it conducted its own investigation and awaits the outcome of that probe.
The school principal cannot be named as he is yet to appear in court.

There are plenty of console and PC video games that make the transition into mobile apps in some form. We've seen companion apps, somewhat related games made for mobile (Fallout Shelter comes to mind), and even full spinoffs like Call of Duty. And in some form, Titanfall will be coming to mobile.
Game developer Respawn Entertainment has partnered with Nexon, a free-to-play publisher, and mobile developer Particle City to create a Titanfall-based game for iOS and Android, among others. It'll likely be free with in-app payments, which is Nexon's style. What kind of game it will be is unbeknownst to us. It could be a spinoff of the full game, or some card collection game. We hope it isn't the latter.
The game will be launching sometime next year, so hopefully more details surface soon!

10 new car buying scams to avoid
According to the Better Business Bureau, issues with new-car dealers remain among the top consumer complaints. Here are 10 hair-raising scams to watch out for.
Now we're far from suggesting that the industry is rife with rip-off artists, but the typical new-car transaction contains many avenues for manipulation – if not outright fraud – that can easily be leveraged to an unsuspecting buyer's disadvantage.'
"People can get into trouble because no one has ever taught them how to really go about buying a car," says former car dealer and current consumer advocate and radio show host Nicole Markson. "People are not skilled at negotiating because they do it once every three to five years, while dealership personnel do it all day every day. The field is not level from the start."
According to the Better Business Bureau, issues with new-car dealers remain among the top consumer complaints, and even a cursory investigation on the topic opens the proverbial floodgates to torrents of woeful tales. While some grievances can be attributed to inattentive or rude personnel or overly aggressive salespeople, many consumers find themselves the victims of egregious tactics that would make even the most brazen hucksters shake their heads in disbelief. Consider these horror stories provided to us by Edmunds.com:

How to terminate a car lease
Over the last 5 years, more and more consumers in America and Canada have sought options to terminate a car lease early due to the economic downturn resulting in stressed financial obligations.
Car lease termination traditional is thought of returning the car lease early to the leasing company, and incur the expensive penalties originally agreed to in the lease agreement. In some cases, consumers have simply walked away from their lease, though the result impacts their credit ratings.
However, over the last decade, leasing companies have begun to accept car lease termination through the lease transfer process, or lease assumption process. Primarily leasing companies have turned their view to the preference of having anyone who is credit worthy retain the lease throughout the remainder of the lease term (ex. 3-5 years), vs. incurring costly legal and operational fees to chase after the original lessee who is already financially strapped.

About Water Balance
Water Balance was founded by Tom Reynolds to assist farmers and urban landscapers at the
Ag-Urban Interface AND BEYOND
optimize plant health, soil nutrient balance and irrigation management with proven, efficient and cost-effective solutions.
Tom entered the agricultural arena in the late 1970's and in Arizona where cotton, citrus, and cattle productivity had peaked (area, not yield). Soon, environmental aspects of water, soil, and air pollution were making all the agricultural news headlines. Molecular biology and chemistry were mature, and personal computing technologies, first in farm accountancy, along with radio technologies, were moving onto Arizona farms. Tom started using computers in 1973 as an employee at a construction company, By 1979 he held his B.S. degree in Ag-Industry_Crop Production and was employed collecting and reporting soil, water and crop data over a three-county service area in central Arizona. From sunrise to 1:00 PM data and samples were collected and recorded. By 4:00 PM, using a computer program written by E. Ray Bigler, CPAg, we had processed the data, printed the graphs, and started transmitting these reports to our several clients for their irrigation and nitrogen scheduling the next day or week.
As an early service provider to farmers and ranchers, Tom's Water Balance business model is built upon four pillars (see home page). Tom has witnessed California agricultural producers remaining economically successful while also tending to their environmental impacts, which help keep their over-allocated watershed's fauna and flora in at least some degrees of health. Gone are the days of groundwater mining, unreasonable nitrogen losses to acquifers by non-uniform irrigation application, and unchecked air pollution. What Water Balance provides to farmers and ranchers enables them to invest in irrigation systems that reduce costs, reduce deliterious environmental impacts, nurtures watersheds, while improving water and nitrogen use efficiencies with much better certainty. Irrigation efficiency in wheat, citrus, cotton, and hay below 85% is no longer a 21st Century prerogative. Furthermore, producers in a position of precision irrigation and fertigation can go even further, beyond 90% efficiency, to maintain average farm gross incomes at what Dr. English at Oregon State University refers to as
optimal irrigation management and deficit irrigation
. Only precision irrigation system design, crop feedback systems, precision water measurement/budgeting, crop production analysis, and the resources and commitment from owners create the space managers need to go there, tightening their belts with acceptable levels of uncertainty.
Tom received his Master's in Science in Agribusiness in 1989 from Arizona State University. Farmers in Maricopa and Pinal Counties were just facing water use regulations. Tom's Master's Thesis, "
Can Growers Live Within the Law
" provides substantial basis for his argument that scientific irrigation scheduling significantly (95% confidence) increases yield. Increasing yield without increasing water application volume translates to higher water use efficiency.
"Thomas Reynolds has provided high quality irrigation design services that meet NRCS standards and specifications. He has endured challenges that come with design changes in irrigation design requirements, and is persistent in making the recommended design changes in a timely manner."

When you're talking about top-of-the-line fishing rods, you are most likely referring to Scott Fly rods. Scott Fly Rods has been around since 1974 and pride themselves for their passion in rod-making craftsmanship, namely how all their rods are handcrafted in Montrose, Colorado. They take pride in their simplistic design that omits the use of any paints that can potentially hide the beauty of the rod blank itself.
Their rods are manufactured with you in mind, and their attention to the most minute details are astounding. One example of this is their attention to
- Scott Radian Fly Rod
- Fiber bonds with reinforced resins construction
- Lenghts from 7'6'' to 10'
- Fast action rod
- Unique rod with excellent performance
- Scott A4 Fly Rod
- Freshwater rod
- Lenghts from 7'6'' up to 10'
- Multi-modulus design
- Great casting rod
- Scott L2H Fly Rod
- Multi modulus design
- Intended for two-handed use
- Lenghts from 11' up to 15'
- Easy to use
- Scott Saltwater Fly Rod
- Designed for saltwater use
- Accurate casting at far distances
- Excellent recovery speed
- Lenghts from 8'10 to 9'
- Scott Tidal Fly Rod
- Designed for harsh conditions
- Reinforced carbon composite construction
- Multi modulus design
- 9' in length
Furthermore, Scott Fly rods tries to do the opposite of what other rod manufacturers do, which
Their X-Core technology increases in the inner diameter of the rod and creates a faster taper, both of which are meant to improve stability as well as power and control. The cherry on top would be that all these rods are manufactured entirely in the USA.
Table of Contents
1. Scott Radian Fly Rod
The Scott Radian Fly Rod is a top-end Scott rod advertised based on the claims of its combination of fast action and amazing feel and won the International Fly Tackle Dealer Show, the largest international show of fly fishing organizations in the world, "Best of Show" in 2013. The Radian Fly rod utilizes their X-Core technology, giving the rod
This rod also features
What you end up with is an incredibly different
2. Scott A4 Fly Rod
The Scott A4 Fly Rod is a medium fast freshwater casting rod and is intended as a high-performance rod for beginning and advanced anglers alike. This rod features a multi-modulus design for flexibility and recovery and a natural finish that aims to increase strength while decreasing weight.
The A4 rods come in 20 models ranging in lengths from 7'6" up to 10'0". The 10'0" length is additionally what makes this rod a great casting rod. Like the Radian rods, this line also features to grip styles, L and M, in which the latter features a cork end in addition to the handle.
Despite its retail price coming in at less than half than that of the Radian, the A4
As such, while its simplicity makes it ideal for beginners, its advancement make it a
3. Scott L2H Fly Rod
Scott's L2H Fly Rod stand for "Two Handlers" and is what it sounds like – intended for two-handed use. The beauty behind these rods is their ability to maintain stability when applying forward power. The main features of this rod are the multi-modulus design, natural finish, and advanced reinforced carbon.
It has a medium-fast flex profile and medium-fast recover speed. This rod comes in two grip styles, J and K. Both styles have cork ends in addition to the cork handle; the main difference is the split handle on K is much thinner and longer, whereas the J style handle is mostly used on the shorter rods.
The L2H models come in nine different models with nice, long lengths starting at 11'0" and ranging up to 15'0". What you'll immediately notice, even when holding the longest of these rods, are their lightweight feel.
Upon casting it for the first time, you will be amazed at the strength with which you can propel your line forward and how solid the
4. Scott Meridian Saltwater Fly Rod
The Meridian Saltwater Fly Rods, designed for harsh saltwater use, makes the claim of increased recovery speed as a way of efficiently transferring rod energy. The result is a more accurate cast at far distances and in harsher conditions.
The features on this
In addition to the X-Core technology, this rod also features Mil-Spec III, which are anodized reel seats and titanium guides that are intended to prevent corrosion. Lastly, the rod also features what the previous rods did with the advanced reinforced carbon.
This rod has a fast flex profile and the most rapid recovery speed Scott Fly Rods has to offer. This rod only features one type of grip in its fifteen models ranging from 8'10" to 9'0"; despite this, the grip itself is intended to give you a good, firm hold when casting. Though the price of this rod is relatively high, with all the technological nuances, you can expect to have a delight casting at far distances and watching your rod perform exactly the way you want it to.
5. Scott Tidal Fly Rod
The Scott Tidal Fly Rod is the fly rod you want with you out in the harshest saltwater. This fly rod is made using the latest advanced reinforced carbon composite blank which adds to the hoop strength and counteracts torque. This will make fly fishing in saltwater, an already difficult task, much easier.
Furthermore, this rod is made with a natural finish with the intention of keeping the rod as light as possible. This is exactly what you want in this sort of excursion. Lastly, this
As this is a saltwater rod, the Scott Tidal Fly Rod has a fast flex profile and faster recovery speed. It comes in seven different models all with a length of 9'0'.
The primary difference between each model is the type of line used. For those who want to take on the challenge of fly fishing in harsh saltwater, this is the rod you ultimately want on your side. You will be casting fast, accurately, and easily.
It is without a doubt that Scott Fly Rods are high-end rods. They are not modest in price and, as such, the option of stocking up on multiple rods isn't a realistic possibility for many. That said, these rods have an amazing performance. Unlike other brands that offer decent beginning rods for $30 or less and are more likely to break within a few months, Scott Fly rods are ones that beginners can hold on to for much longer.
The icing on the cake is that unlike numerous other fishing rod brands, Scott Fly Rods offers a lifetime warranty to the original owner. Taking this into consideration, you are much more likely to save money by investing in a high-quality rod rather than multiple beginner rods that snap more easily.
Whether you chose a higher end Scott Fly Rod like the Radian or the Meridian Saltwater, or a more modest rod, such as the A4 Fly rod, you will be getting the Scott Fly Rods guarantee of technological advancement in your rod. It is well worth the investment.
