We know your habits. After a long day, and with an endless well of streamable television to choose from, you hit the couch and flip on Law & Order: SVU reruns. Not a jab at Law & Order (love you, Olivia Benson), but there's so much out there! And for TV junkies, few destinations are as expansive as Hulu.
Here are the shows -- and only the stickiest series, with enough episodes to get you totally hooked, and plenty of fresh plotlines to keep you guessing over the course of a single weekend -- just waiting to be discovered by your random scrolling:
Netflix's New Sci-Fi Show Is Its Biggest Production to Date
30 Rock (2006-2013)
Fans of Liz Lemon and Co. likely let out a brief gasp when 30 Rock disappeared from Netflix, where it had been a staple of the streaming platform for years. Fortunately, Hulu subscribers can still watch the zany antics of this late-night spoof -- breeze through those seven seasons while you have the chance.
Alone Together (2018 - )
Freeform series can be hit and miss (and mostly miss), but this comedy series following best friends and comic hopefuls -- the enormously basic Esther and the unmotivated Benji who mooches off his wealthy older brother -- in L.A. nails what it means for two obnoxious people to be meant for each other. Those eulogizing Difficult People will find relating to the two's mishaps among SoCal's luxury set a comfortable task.
Arrested Development (2003-2006)
There's always money in the banana stand, and there are always laughs to be found in Arrested Development, Mitchell Hurwitz's sly, self-aware family sitcom. Though you'll have to jump to Netflix for the most recent season, the show's original run still satisfies. Arrested Development established a freewheeling comic sensibility that many of your favorite sitcoms -- Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, Community, Archer, Kroll Show -- were influenced by. Don't hold the show's obnoxious fans against it. After watching a few episodes, you'll be quoting Tobias Fünke, too.
Atlanta (2016-present)
After stints writing for 30 Rock, starring in Community, and rapping as Childish Gambino, Donald Glover found time to create, star in, write, and direct several episodes of this half-hour series. Atlanta is a rare species: a deeply funny show offering pointed social commentary. Whether it's casting a black actor as Justin Bieber, lambasting social media obsessives, or just making a freaking great rap song, Glover's massive endeavor manages to feel effortless, capturing a specific mood and experience with wit and precision.
Baskets (2016-present)
Comedians Zach Galifianakis and Louis C.K. created Baskets, which casts the former as a clown struggling in the California suburbs. Galifianakis' Chip Baskets is a dunce, and if it weren't for the harsh reality and morose filmmaking style employed in the series, he'd have us in stitches. But the FX show refuses to be that digestible. Pratfalls roll-jump into -- ta-da! -- existential dread. Wordplay gags loop from comical to manic to funny again. As Chip's mother, Louie Anderson parades around in a muumuu but plays the role entirely straight. Baskets is a breakthrough work of parody, heartbreaking, hilarious, and odd -- everything a portrait of a sad clown should be.
Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009)
When Star Trek: The Next Generation writer Ronald D. Moore first took over this beloved sci-fi property, fans worried that his politically subversive approach would dampen the original's hokey legacy. Now, even with a shaky finale and a nonessential spinoff, the remake stands as the perfect example of how to to do genre stuff right: smart writing, great action, and compelling characters. No space opera has soared this high since -- and few likely will.
Billy on the Street (2011-present)
It's a game show for people who think game shows are stupid! The frenetic Billy Eichner mixes celebrity guests, unsuspecting strangers, and wild one-off games to create a delightfully addictive and fast-paced show that doubles as a broad takedown of celebrity culture writ large. Come on, who wouldn't want to watch Rachel Dratch try to escape from Margot Robbie's Hollywood moment?
Bob's Burgers (2011-present)
What a treat. The earliest episodes of Loren Bouchard's pun-, song-, and fart-filled family sitcom toon are aging like a fine wine, and the new ones rarely disappoint. Though the title would have you believe this show is all about the ever-schlubby Bob (deadpanned by H. Jon Benjamin), it's become way bigger than that. As the show's writers have learned what makes their world tick, it's become increasingly populated with quirkily relatable side characters, relationships, and problems. Watching this show, no matter the episode, is always a fun and immersive -- if only for a bit -- experience.
Broad City (2014-present)
While plenty of shows revolve around 20-something BFFs living in New York City, Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer's madcap buddy comedy is the freshest and funniest take on city life we've seen in eons. If the friendship between these two lovable, sex-positive, stoner Jewesses is the heart of the show, NYC is the third bedfellow in their platonic love triangle -- with Bed Bath & Beyond standing in as their heaven and Penn Station as their purgatory.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)
A sacred text of geek culture debuted on March 10, 1997, almost two years before The Sopranos kicked off the much-lionized "difficult men" period of Golden Age television. But if you were clued in to Joss Whedon's wickedly subversive WB (and later, UPN) action-drama from the start, you knew the revolution of modern television was already under way long before Tony and his ducks. Anchored by Sarah Michelle Gellar's star turn, the show got deeper and darker as it went, turning a comedic riff on horror-movie tropes into a soulful meditation on the nature of bravery. Plus, it's got werewolves and stuff.
Cheers (1982-1993)
For the days when you want to hang out at the bar without changing out of pajamas. Starring Ted Danson as the ex-Red Soxxer and reformed alcoholic slinging drinks, Cheers had a long run -- 273 episodes! -- so you'll invest a ton of time if you're a completist, but luckily, you'll feel like a regular in no time.
Deutschland 83 (2015-present)
In this stylized German-language series, set in its titular country and year, an East German officer poses as a West German in order to gather intel. It's a thematic sibling to espionage dramas like The Americans or The Lives of Others -- but with comedy, color, and romance to lighten the mood.
Difficult People (2015-present)
In this Hulu original, Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner are mean-spirited and petty, and live by the "no hugging, no learning" Seinfeld-ian code, which makes them our favorite kind of platonic power couple. But with every exploitative adventure anchored by their best friendship, the jokes they make at the expense of others (interns, New Jerseyans, Method Man) seem downright sympathetic.
Drunk History (2013-present)
Since its inception a decade ago, Jeremy Konner and Derek Waters' Emmy-winning web series-turned-TV hit has paired blasted comedian narrators with top-tier actors to recreate our country's most iconic moments, making for one of the smartest dumb shows in recent memory. If you're unsure where to start, take a look at our favorite segments, all of which are available on YouTube and Hulu for your bingeing pleasure.
Empire (2015-present)
In this record-industry Dynasty, it's easy to get wrapped up in the Lyon family's batshit schemes. Thanks to constantly shifting power dynamics, Taraji P. Henson's scene-stealing (and Golden Globe-winning!) performance as meddling matriarch Cookie, a catchy Timbaland-produced soundtrack, and countless music-world cameos, the seasons will fly by.
The Exorcist (2016-present)
FOX's spiritually fucked-up reboot takes the movie's soul-saving concept and turns it into something like a more serious Ghostbusters TV show. In Season 1, two badass priests -- one in better standing with the church than the other -- try to prevent one family from descending into total hellish chaos. It's a riveting and surprisingly touching roller-coaster ride. It's also extremely, and lovably, gross. In Episode 2, one of the protagonists barfs what looks like two bottles of Green Machine and then yanks a near-never-ending centipede out of her mouth -- almost like the Santa Clarita Diet pilot without comic relief. The rest of the show takes after its big-screen predecessor -- with more contemporary makeup and effects -- to show that head-spinning demonic possession can do the body a lot of bad. Season 2 is just as great.
Fargo (2014-present)
Noah Hawley's bold adaptation of the perfect 1996 movie sometimes tries too hard to shoehorn in allusions to the source material and other Coen brothers films, but a crackerjack premise and an inspired performance by Billy Bob Thornton elevated Season 1 well above mere facsimile. The impressive casting holds the convoluted plot together so well that you'll quickly forgive Hawley for choosing to hinge a major moment on the sudden arrival of an alien spacecraft.
The Good Place (2016-present)
In this sneaky afterlife comedy from Mike Schur (Parks and Recreation), Kristen Bell's deceased cretin Eleanor is erroneously given a berth in a heaven-esque afterworld. Once the high-concept show gets past establishing its characters and premise, you'll enjoy watching her do whatever she can to avoid being found out and sent to hell by her friendly neighborhood architect, Michael (Ted Danson). And by the time you get to the incredible season finale, it's clear you've been sent straight up to TV heaven.
The Good Wife (2009-2016)
Look past the fact that this serialized drama is on CBS, home to NCIS, CSI, and other shows your parents adore. The Good Wife is potent, pressurized, and constantly zigzagging in new directions. The saga of Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) began with a wife reeling from her district attorney husband's affair and subsequent scandal. And it ended as a full-blown opera, full of deception, moral quagmires, and vibrant friendships. Give The Good Wife a few episodes and you'll fall in love with its characters.
The Handmaid's Tale (2017-present)
After racking up several Emmys, including for Best Drama Series and Lead Actress, Drama (Elisabeth Moss), this adaptation of Margaret Atwood's novel showed Hulu means business. Now's your chance to see what had the Emmy voters all worked up over a dystopian world in which women are kept as childbearers for a wealthy, oppressive elite.
Harlots (2017- )
Hulu's original programming doesn't get the same amount of attention as that of Netflix or Amazon, because not as many people subscribe to Hulu. But you shouldn't overlook Harlots, which has perhaps the best production design and and premise of any Hulu original (yes, including The Handmaid's Tale). Centered on 18th-century British brothels, Harlots is much more than a titillating show about sex, though that's in there too; it delves deep into life on the outside of "acceptable" society, tackling questions of sex, gender, class, and taboos along the way. Don't sleep on Harlots.
Inside Amy Schumer (2013-present)
Known for slyly subversive takes on gender, relationships, and the irritating rhythms of Aaron Sorkin's writing, this series from the Trainwreck star is the rare sketch-comedy show that's actually consistent. If you've only been watching the viral sketches on YouTube, you've missed out.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005-present)
Few shows make us consistently laugh-cry like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, a dark cringe-comedy about a group of depraved jerks (comedy heavyweights Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson, and Danny DeVito) doing horrible things to each other and the people around them. There are 11 seasons available here, but don't worry about binge-watching -- It's Always Sunny is the perfect show to drop in and out of. Even decade-old episodes keep the lovable dirtbags of Paddy's Pub up to recognizable, juvenile antics. It's a show about physical harm, drinking until puking, and wantonly setting things on fire.
Key and Peele (2012-2015)
Over the course of five seasons, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele created some of the funniest, smartest, and most visually striking sketch comedy of the new millennium.
The O.C. (2003-2007)
Thanks to Hulu, the only high school reunion you'd ever want to attend is streaming 24/7. Witness the early '00s charm and chemistry that won over a nation of tweens, courtesy of leads Mischa Barton, Rachel Bilson, Adam Brody, and Ben McKenzie. The first season is a veritable work of soap opera art, from "Welcome to the O.C., bitch" to Seth and Summer's first kiss; things fall apart as Marissa inches closer to death (spoiler alert), but we're hopelessly sucked in nonetheless. Sandy Cohen's eyebrows are the icing on the cake.
Party Down (2009-2010)
Before becoming Amy Poehler's main squeeze on Parks and Recreation, Adam Scott was a down-on-his-luck actor stuck working as a caterer in this beloved cult comedy. Luckily, he was joined by a killer supporting cast -- Ken Marino, Lizzy Caplan, Martin Starr, and more -- that made this show way more fun than any actual food-service job.
Preacher (2016- )
Season 3 of AMC's irreverent soul-busting romp sends the titular preacher Jesse to Angelville, the Louisiana plantation where he was raised, to reckon with his past before finding God. But before you start the latest installment, you can catch up on the first two installments on Hulu. Get preachin'!
Prime Suspect (1991-2006)
This British series -- primarily known for making Helen Mirren a star (again) -- breaks a murder mystery into two feature-length movies. Like The Night Of, the show demonstrates how the police institution creates as many roadblocks as a crafty murderer. The seven seasons (comprised of 15 episodes and roughly 25 hours) are all solid, but start with the 1991 original, where Mirren's Jane Tennison assumes the role of senior investigating officer of a serial killer, much to the chagrin of her male colleagues. Mirren imbues the been-there-done-that format with movie-star bravado, and as the show charts Tennison's rise up the chain of command, her material only gets meatier.
Rick and Morty (2013- )
This dark, dimension-spanning cartoon from Dan Harmon (Community) and Justin Roiland (Channel 101) follows an alcoholic mad scientist and his dimwitted grandson as they travel through space-time in order to save humanity. It adds up to an alternate reality that's incredibly confusing and emotionally resonant all at once. No, the resemblance to Back to the Future's Doc and Marty is not a coincidence. Yes, it's as insane as it sounds.
Runaways (2017- )
Marvel Cinematic Universe alert! If you're a Marvel fan, you are required by law to sign up for Hulu to prove your fandom is real. This Hulu original tracks six teens who try to take down the supervillain group known as Pride... which incidentally is composed of the teens' parents. How's that for awkward dinner conversations?
Seinfeld (1989-1998)
The genre-defining "show about nothing," now exclusive to Hulu, is worth the subscription fee alone. Whether you're new to the sitcom that put writer Larry David on the map, or watching Kramer burst through that door for the thousandth time, we advise you watch all nine seasons and become master of situation comedy's domain.
The Shield (2002-2008)
The Wire had more to say about the drug trade. The Sopranos' anti-hero was more psychologically rich. Breaking Bad won more Emmys. But there's perhaps no show of TV's prestige golden age with as much white-knuckle tension as The Shield, creator Shawn Ryan's occasionally trashy masterpiece of moral compromise and macho arrogance. Vic Mackey, played with simmering rage and dark humor by Michael Chiklis, led an incredible cast of cops, including future Justified standout Walton Goggins, through a series of challenges that culminated in one of the most perfectly realized endings in TV history. Watch it now.
South Park (1997-present)
South Park still reigns as one of the longest-running and most consistently potent animated sitcoms -- where The Simpsons has largely exited the contemporary water cooler conversation, South Park is as relevant as ever. The green streaming service has every episode, from Season 1 to 21 (yeah, even the new ones the morning after they air). Though the show has evolved and experimented with continuity over the last few years, it looks like the current season is getting back to its self-contained roots. Come for the social satire, stay for the Alexa pranks.
Top Chef (2006-present)
In a world where new cooking shows pop up faster than hip molecular gastronomy-based tapas bars, Top Chef is a rare achievement: tasteful, imaginative, and perfectly prepared. What's the secret ingredient? Smart hosts and talented contestants. It's really that simple.
The Twilight Zone (1959-1964)
Every lauded sci-fi movie or television show owes Rod Serling residuals. Over 156 episodes, Serling speculated and dreamed, refracting his present day through the trippiest scenarios to ever beam through mild-mannered American homes. The Twilight Zone's visual prose took us to jungles, to space, to 20,000ft, and to the sunny block from every person's childhood, where the worst existential revelations tended to lurk. The Twilight Zone still speaks volumes. Buckle up and fly into a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind.
Twin Peaks (1990-1991)
David Lynch and Mark Frost's detective series is often credited with instilling television with artful potential. Without Twin Peaks, there'd likely be no Mad Men or Breaking Bad (and both shows nodded to the ABC series). And yet, the show's dreamy, saturated look is really a cherry on top. Twin Peaks is a steady stream of oddball characters and fantastical twists, encountered by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) as he hunts for the murderer of a small-town teenager. Your weird friends love this show. You should, too. It's finally time to understand those Log Lady Halloween costumes -- and get you ready to binge the 25-years-in-the-making third season, available on Showtime.
The X-Files (1993-2002)
Hulu is the best place to catch up on Mulder's paranoia, Scully's sleuthing, and the burning chemistry that launched a thousand GeoCities sites. The streaming site offers both the original 201-episode run of Fox's paranormal investigation drama and the recent miniseries revival. If nine and a half seasons is too much to binge, cherry-pick the classics. We made it easy by ranking the entire series.
Younger (2015- )
Love triangles, sassy sidekicks, and book publishing -- much to enjoy on this not-really-guilty guilty pleasure, which you will find almost dangerously bingeable. Now is the time to get acquainted with the surprisingly cutthroat world of book publishing!

Asked about the minimum wage in Tuesdays GOP debate, Dr. Ben Carson started off the evening with a blatant lie:
Every time we raise the minimum wage, the number of jobless people increases. Its particularly a problem in the black community. Only 19.8 percent of black teenagers have a job.
No. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics 2015 numbers, blacks of both sexes had an unemployment rate of 30.6 percent. That means the employment rate, not seasonally adjusted, is around 70 percent. When adjusted for seasonal employment summer and Christmas jobs employment rises to 31 percent.
The job situation is, indeed, a bad one in black communities. But raising the minimum wage will not make it worse. The Department of Labor busted that myth already.
Ben Carson may know about a lot of things but economics are not in his wheelhouse. Repeating disproven myths about the minimum wage will not help his cause. He should just pass when asked questions about economics.

In her TED talk titled "The Power of Vulnerability," Brené Brown, a story-telling researcher gives insight on her 6-year long attempt to deconstruct vulnerability. What is vulnerability? How did it begin to run our lives? Brown breaks down that every insecurity and indecision we face all comes down to our feelings of worthiness. The people who feel they belong, who love unconditionally, who take risks, who invest in something that may not work out, those people believe they are worthy of all of that.
During this 6-year long research, Brown spent 4 intense days immersing herself in case studies, interviews, and sessions of hundreds of people who all had one thing in common: wholeheartedness. Through jokes and all too true realities, Brené gets real with where our vulnerabilities originate, and how we can move past them.

27 September 2014
For our first meeting of the new season, we caught up with friends and welcomed 2 new people to the Guild. We look forward to sharing our knowledge with you. We had a visitor - Emma from the WoolWagon.biz Emma, gave us a brief talk on her own craft background, how she had started her business and of course details of her lovely yarns! She had yarns to suit all tastes and pockets, from lovely double knitting to sock yarn to chunky - in fact yarns you would not see in the shops with lovely colours to unusual textures. The Wool Wagon, can been seen at St Georges Market every Friday and can be found on Facebook. In our afternoon session, Harriett told us of her visit to Metropolitan's Dream week and showed us the items she had made at a workshop by Bill King and the latest from Iris Bishop. Using the inspiration from Dream week and some yarn from the Wool Wagon she had created a lovely reversable hat, plain yarn on one side and multi-coloured on the other. Just the thing for the colder weather. Harriett also told us how she had heard of the Royal visit at the end of May. We got an insight into what had gone on before it, how the stands were selected and also what the Queen said when at Harriett's stall in St Georges and what she had interested her! Harriett has had quite a summer!!

The NHS recommends sterilising any feeding or expressing equipment that comes into contact with milk until your baby is a year old. So if you do any bottle feeding at all and are planning on spending time away from home with your baby before she turns one, you need a portable way of sterilising her things. Even with the most generous baggage allowance in the world you're not going to want to take your bulky plug-in electric steriliser on holiday.
If you're staying somewhere with a kitchen, boiling the feeding equipment in a saucepan on the stove is a good solution that doesn't require any extra kit. Make sure there's enough water to cover the equipment, check that there are no air bubbles trapped, and boil for five minutes. If you put the bottles together with their teats and lids and keep them in a clean container, they'll stay sterile for up to 24 hours.
An easier route, which doesn't require access to a stove, is cold water, or chemical, sterilising. There are two options available – tablets and fluid – and which one is best for you will depend on the circumstances of your trip.
They work in the same way: you make a solution and submerge your clean feeding equipment, again ensuring there are no air bubbles. The equipment is ready to use after the time specified on the label (15-30 minutes usually); there's no need to rinse it, just shake off the excess solution. The items will stay sterile if left in the solution for up to 24 hours; after that point you have to make a fresh batch.
The tablets are extremely light and take up no space in your luggage but are less convenient to use. Each tablet is designed to be dissolved in a specific quantity of water (which varies brand to brand) so if you don't have a container large enough you'll need to do some sums and split the tablets accordingly. The fluid is heavier in your luggage but it's easier to measure out the exact quantity you need.
Whether you opt for fluid or tablets, pack a Tupperware box big enough for your requirements, measuring how much it holds before you travel (pack a lid too – the solution can bleach fabrics so you don't want it splashing around). You'll also need a bottle brush and washing up liquid to clean the feeding equipment before you sterilise it, though I've been known to use shower gel for the purpose.
Even if you're not planning on doing any bottle feeding at all, it's a sensible precaution to take feeding equipment and a couple of bottles of ready-mixed formula away with you if you're travelling with an unweaned baby, particularly somewhere remote. In the unlikely event that something happens to get in the way of breastfeeding, you'll want an alternative way of getting some milk down her.

Michael Leopold Baumann '50, November 1, 2001, in Chico, California. Michael received a BA from Reed in general literature. From the University of Pennsylvania he earned an MA in 1956 and a PhD in 1971, in English literature. He taught English at the University of Arizona, at University of California, Santa Barbara, and at California State University–Chico, from which he retired as emeritus professor. Michael went to West Germany in 1978–80, accompanied by his wife, Friederike, as a Fulbright senior lecturer at the University of Erlangen. A bilingual scholar, Michael authored numerous publications in the field of literary scholarship and criticism in the U.S. and Europe. His interest in B. Traven spanned more than 30 years. (Traven, whose identity remains uncertain even after his death, was the author of numerous books, including The Secret of Sierra Madre.) "I became a Traven scholar because I fell in love with Traven's humanism, with his American sense of humor, and with what appeared to me to be his essentially American literary heritage." Michael'a books on Traven include B. Traven: An Introduction (1976), and Mr. Traven, I Presume? (1997). Michael once noted that Reed was the best thing that happened to him, in so far as his education was concerned. "I learned to think (or believe I did) on my own."

The Cardinals hope Adrian Peterson can jump start the NFL's worst rushing attack, and he will get a chance to do that Sunday against the Bucs.
Peterson, who was traded from the Saints this week for a conditional late-round pick, will get the football often on Sunday despite only having a few days of practice with the Cardinals, coach Bruce Arians indicated.
"He's run our style of offense for awhile, and it's just learning terminology,'' Arians said. "But we plan on getting him the football and see if we can get our running game started.''
With running back David Johnson on injured reserve with a wrist injury, the Cardinals are averaging a league-worst 51.8 yards per game rushing and have only one rushing touchdown.
That lack of balance has affected the Cardinals passing game. Quarterback Carson Palmer has been sacked 19 times this season, one fewer than the Houston Texans, who lead the league with 20. But Palmer is second in the NFL in passing yards with 1,573.
"He's a big, strong guy that runs violently,'' defensive coordinator Mike Smith said of Peterson. "As I said earlier, if you don't get the pads on him and you don't get multiple sets and take good angles, he's going to break tackles. He hasn't had an opportunity for one reason or another in New Orleans to get many touches, so he's going to be fresh.''

"I write this from the hospital. Seems I have lung cancer."
That's the first line of Fox News Host John Stossel's letter to his fans yesterday, most of whom are libertarians. The title of the personal release from Stossel on the Fox News opinion page told readers: "I have lung cancer. My medical care is excellent but the customer service stinks."
Throughout the piece, he made his disappointment at the lack of the free-market's prevalence in the medical field clear.
Advertisement - story continues below
"I'm as happy as the next guy to have government or my insurance company pay, but the result is that there's practically no free market," he wrote. "Markets work when buyer and seller deal directly with each other. That doesn't happen in hospitals.
"You may ask, 'How could it? Patients don't know which treatments are needed or which seller is best. Medicine is too complex for consumers to negotiate.'
TRENDING: Victory: 3 'Problem' Nations Tested Trump, He Sent Them Crawling Back
"But cars, computers and airplane flights are complex, too, and the market still incentivizes sellers to discount and compete on service. It happens in medicine, too, when you get plastic surgery or Lasik surgery. Those doctors give patients their personal email addresses and cellphone numbers. They compete to please patients.
"What's different about those specialties? The patient pays the bill."
Advertisement - story continues below
Stossel should be applauded for using this bad news and his recent experience to make a call for our government to stop strangling the medical field.
The more similar any two businesses appear to the buying public to be — and let's face it, to a layman, a hospital is pretty much a hospital — the more likely those businesses will be to emphasize customer care in a free market as a way to differentiate themselves from their competition. If they don't, they'll slowly go out of business.
It's the free-market way — people will buy pricier products and services when they know they'll be treated like royalty by the employees and business owners.
Without that incentive, businesses — including hospitals and other health care providers — have little incentive to treat customers as anything but cattle.

Ash Cares
The needs of the students attending school in the Ashwaubenon School District continue to change.
In 2005-2006, 18% of Ashwaubenon School District families qualified for free or reduced lunch. In 2013-2014 that number rose to 34%. Some schools in Ashwaubenon are approaching 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
In 2006-2007, 33 students were identified as being homeless in Ashwaubenon. In 2013-2014, 109students were identified as being homeless.
Recognizing the unique educational challenges that often face students when their families experience financial difficulties, the Ashwaubenon School District social workers have developed several programs to help families alleviate some of the stress.
One of these programs is ASHCARES. This is a network of people who receive notification via email when an Ashwaubenon student/family is in need.
Items requested may be as simple as 4T pants or winter boots and can be new or gently used. To become part of the ASHCARES network, please email email@example.com.
Bethany has designated "ASHCARES" as an on-going mission project. Our Senior High Sunday School students have been working on "tie-blankets" for ASHCARES as part of their outreach ministry.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. — With the release of "Fifty Shades of Grey: A XXX Adaptation" just a month away, Smash Pictures have decided that they are not ready to close the book on Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, the young couple at the heart of E.L James' erotic book trilogy.
Smash Pictures Vice President Stuart Wall announced today that the studio has green-lit a sequel to its three-in-one "Fifty Shades" parody that will center solely on re-imaging the events found in James' third book "Fifty Shades Freed."
"With the books being so long there was only so much we could include in the first volume," Wall told XBIZ. "We covered as much as we could from the first two volumes. The new parody will only focus on 'Freed.'"
Wall said that the staggering amount of pre-orders he's received for "Fifty Shades of Grey: A XXX Adaptation" also made the decision to produce a follow-up a no-brainer.
"In all my 20 years of working in the adult industry, I have never seen a response to a film like this," Wall said. "Our 'Fifty Shades of Grey: a XXX Adaption' has hit record numbers for us. Phone calls from all around the world are pre-booking this in anticipation."
Allie Haze and Ryan Driller will reprise their roles as Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, as will those playing recurring characters. Jim Powers is once again attached to direct.
"Fifty Shades of Grey: a XXX Adaptation" is set to street on Sept. 20. The spoof's hardcore trailer can be seen here.

Hsv1 Does That Mean You Have Genital Herpes
Hsv1 does that mean you have genital herpes?

Genital herpes hsv1 and oral herpes hsv1, what to do?
See a dermatologist: You may have hsv1 + hsv2. There are prescription and otc remedies promoted but they are all a waste of money. Prescription pills are very effective. You need advise on what this means to you as well as your contacts. It is not likely that you will get what you need unless you see a dermatologist or perhaps an infectious disease specialist. Although there is extensive knowledge about this, most phy. ...Read more
Can you tell me can I have genital herpes even without outbreaks and tested negative on hsv1 & hsv2 after 6 mos?
Unlikely: If you have no outbreaks and have negative antibody tests, then it sounds like you don't have herpes. ...Read more
If you already have hsv1 (cold sores) are you immune to it? So you would not be able to get genital herpes from hsv1?
Sorry: Hsv is a virus that lives in your nerve roots. If you have hsv 1 you can still get hsv 1 on your genitals. ...Read more
I've had hsv1 my hole life. I gave my boyfriend oral with a coldsore and then had unprotected sex. What are the chances of me getting genital herpes?
HSV1: Cold sores spread from person to person by close personal contact, such as kissing. Cold sores are caused by a herpes simplex virus (hsv-1) closely related to the one that causes genital herpes (hsv-2). Both of these herpes simplex viruses can affect your mouth or your genitals, and can be spread via oral sex. In this situation you may get them especially since you were having an outbreak. ...Read more
HSV2 igg 1.5 IGM neg no s/s of infection. Never lesions, Thoughts. False (+) or (+) genital herpes infection. Virus dormant like HSV1? any worries
Maybe false positive: Edited, correcting a misunderstanding in my initial reply: Most HSV2 IgG tests, e.g. HerpeSelect®), are officially positive at ELISA ratio 1.1 or higher. However, it is reliably positve only at 3.5 or higher. With your value of 1.5, there's at least a 50:50 chance you do NOT have HSV2, despite the test result. Speak with your doctor about confirmatory testing, e.g. Western blot test. ...Read more
My husband has hsv1 with no symptoms of cold sores, can I still get genital herpes from this through oral sex?
There are two separate herpes viruses. One cannot transmit a virus they do not have.
75% of adults have hsv 1 already. We now understand that 90% of those do not have outbreaks. But, viral shedding does occur and contagiousness is common even without an outbreak. Hsv 2, the 'genital' herpes, is found in 25% of humans. ...Read more
If 80% of us pop. Carry hsv1 virus why isn't genital herpes much more common with oral sex being such a popular activity?
You're right: With the growing popularity of oral sex activity, the hsv2 virus is becoming more common. It used to be that hsv1 was oral and hsv2 was genital. It is now recognized that they are both similar viruses that can affect either site. The strain is truly irrelevant as they are both highly contagious, prone to recurrent eruptions, treated with anti-viral medications & can lead to permanent nerve damage. ...Read more
Will my doc allow me to suppress my genital herpes after just my 1st outbreak of hsv1 on my genitals I'm afraid to pass this on to my kids?
Manageable risks: If a mother delivers vaginally with her first genital outbreak, there is ~30% risk the baby could get it and have a terrible illness. If a recurrent outbreak, this drops to ~4% but suppression of outbreaks (meds) or c-section delivery before the membranes are open 4 hours can cancel the risk. Rarely, some women shed herpes without an outbreak and could pass it, baby sick around 2 wks. ...Read more
If I had hsv1 outbreak on my mouth and had oral sex with husband could I have gotten genital herpes that way?
Herpes transmission: Yes, it is possible.Get a more detailed answer ›
I got a cold sore for the first time and scared me to death. But since I have what theyy call "hsv1" is it likelyy to get genital herpes faster!?
No risk, no worries: Probably you have had your oral HSV1 infection a long time, even though you've only had your first outbreak. Half of all adults have oral HSV1. Oral HSV1 is not likely to ever infect your genital area; you are immune to transferring it to anywhere else on your body. Having HSV1 makes you slightly less susceptible to HSV2, the usual cause of genital herpes. ...Read more
I have no herpes symptoms, not HSV1 or HSV2, not in or near my mouth, not on or near genitals. My girlfriend says I gave her genital herpes. Likely?
Have you ever had any Herpes anywhere?
You can shed viruses even when you are not having an active outbreak. ...Read more
If a partner already has HSV1 and I perform oral sex on him at the "tingle" stage before a cold sore, how likely that he could get Genital Herpes?
Unclear question:
If you have oral herpes and it is HSV 1, and your partner already has HSV 1, then you will not transmit the infection with or without the sore.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.
Practice safe sex. ...Read more
A girl says she takes a prescription med for cold sores she gets in mouth. I thought meds are for genital herpes? Why would she take for hsv1?
To relieve symptoms.: Hsv1 occurs as oral herpes and is also called herpes labialis. Cold sores are as a result of hsv1 and can be extremely uncomfortable if they are allowed to run their course. Medications given for control of the symptoms for blisters and painful mouth conditions help tremendously and are similar to the medications for controlling hsv2 which is found in genital herpes. ...Read more

Make sure you both are tested for hsv type 1 and 2. It was previously thought that type 1 was only localzed to the mouth and type 2 to the genitals, but that is not correct. Also consider the fact that your gilrfriend already carried the virus and you did not give it to her by giving her oral sex.
Take care. ...Read more
Can someone with genital herpes have a western blot when there's no outbreak? I've had hsv1 on mouth many times, blood test said hsv2 1.25 & hsv1 5.0

IGG test came back + for HSV1.I've been having itching on labia majora before my period every month, but no sores. Could this be from genital herpes?
Could be: Genital lesions are usually due to HSV 2, but HSV 1 can cause genital lesions. It would be prudent to get the actual lesions tested as the itching may not be due HSV at all. Having HSV 1 and genital itching does not mean the two are related. ...Read more
Fingered a girl with genital herpes 2 months ago. Washed hands for 5 min right after. Noticed cold sore on lip but do have hsv1. Is it possibly hsv2?
Hard to say: Hsv 1 is more often linked to cold sores at the lip margins while hsv 2 is most often linked with genital lesions. However, both strains are occasionally found at either location. Whether or not this has anything to do with the exposure you cite is hard to say. ...Read more

Test failure:
The tests for viral presence and accurate identification (hsv-1 and hsv-2) are not 100% accurate. They tend to look for antibodies for the particular virus, which may not have yet been detectable when the test was performed.

Canker sores: Aphthous stomatitis is not due to herpes simplex. Dr. Namey and dr. Perkins have provided excellent advice and would read these carefully. The location of the herpetic lesions (oral v. Genital) no longer is specific for types 1;2. Cold sores may be herpetic, but not canker sores. ...Read more
I currently have an outbreak of genital herpes simplex 1 (diagnosed recently). Do I need to be lysol wiping the toilet seat for infection control?
Here are some. ..: If the toilet you have used is just for you, it's absolutely no need to disinfect.... If using public toilets, it's optional because the toilet users after you have no chance to contact your out-breaking sites with their broken-very unlikely-skin. So, the likelihood to transmit herpes virus is almost next-to-none. Clinically, I don't believe there has been a study being done to address the answer. ...Read more
If I have redness from a herpes outbreak from 3 weeks ago, does that mean I'm shedding virus? Blisters healed. Just the redness on skin. Genital hsv1.
Not needed: Persons with herpes can shed virus whether symptomatic (/have lesions) or not. Just easier when lesions present. For more information, see: http://www. Herpesite. Org/herpes-virus-infection-transmission-risk-shedding/. ...Read more
If I have contracted herpes from oral sex (hsv1) on my genitals, will it be better managable than hsv2 or it will cause the same outbrakes?
Genital HSV-1: Is generally less bothersome than hsv-2. You can always get on an antiviral such as valacyclover to reduce number and duration of outbreaks as well as decreasing the risk of spreading it. Over time the outbreak frequency should decrease. Good luck. ...Read more
My bf gave me hsv1 orally onto my vagina. Seeing as tho he already has this virus in his system can it cause him 2 get herpes on his genital area too?
Unlikely.: It is generally thought that getting herpes a second time is much harder than getting it the first time. Studies have shown that a person with oral herpes can catch a new case of genital herpes. Other studies have shown that this is rare - but it is possible. Your BF should wear condoms, and you should both be treated with an oral antiviral (Valtrex (valacyclovir) or Famvir). ...Read more

Streetcars were forced to share the road with automobiles changing traffic within the city. As more people purchased automobiles, the road became a battle between private and public transportation. As a result, traffic congestion was a serious problem downtown. It was estimated that 10,000 people would come in 5,000 cars and 50,000 people came in 1, 000 streetcars. While the traffic jam in the picture may be an outlying case, it reflects a time when the many options for getting around
were too much for the city roads to handle. Even today, we experience traffic jams on roads and think an increase in the number of roads is the best solution. As the number of automobiles on the road increased this was and still is a constant issue. Baltimore

The new series of The Apprentice has recently hit our television screens. Famously, it features Alan Sugar's catch phrase, 'You're fired!' and the obligatory pointed finger. So, how do people like Alan Sugar get into the position they're in?
Although he's now a millionaire, Alan Sugar didn't come from a moneyed background. In fact, his father was a tailor in the garment industry. Sugar also didn't attend university; like Richard Branson, he left school aged 16. When leaving school, Sugar sold aerials and electricals from the back of a van, which he bought for only £50. Hardly a propitious beginning. However, many highly successful entrepreneurs started off with little to no money.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic (IAAF)―With several top-flight Ethiopian runners set to contest the Volkswagen Prague Marathon on Sunday (May 7), there's a strong chance that the IAAF Gold Label Road Race could witness its first ever Ethiopian double.
On five previous occasions, Kenyan men and women have taken both titles on offer in the Czech capital. And while there have been five individual victories from Ethiopian athletes at the Prague Marathon, the east African nation has never managed a sweep of both titles.
That could change on Sunday, though.
Feyse Tadese is the fastest entrant for the women's race. The 2012 world half-marathon silver medalist achieved three consecutive marathon victories from 2012 to 2013, winning in Seoul, Shanghai and Paris. She failed to finish at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, but rebounded by finishing fourth in London in 2014 and second in Berlin later that year, clocking a lifetime best of 2:20:27.
This weekend's marathon will be her first race since her seventh-place finish at last year's London marathon.
Less experienced than Feyse Tadese but almost as fast, fellow Ethiopian Amane Beriso will also be racing for the first time in 12 months. In Dubai last year the 25-year-old ran 2:20:48, the sixth-fastest marathon debut in history, but went on to finish a distant 13th in Boston three months later.
While Amane Beriso lacks experience, compatriot Mulu Seboka has it in abundance. A former winner in Dubai, Toronto and Mumbai, this weekend's race will be her 37th career marathon. She finished second in Prague back in 2009 and was victorious at the 2015 Karlovy Vary Half Marathon in 1:09:11.

Radio, the grandfather of electronic media is a matchless and exciting medium – handy and personal – which encourages its listeners to develop an unusual association with presenters and stations. Unmatched with other medium of mass communication, radio is persistent, enterprising and friendly. Our expert Jitin Chawla on the array of opportunities the field provides
Radio Broadcasting/Journalism
Radio has transformed in its size, its format, its duration, and its programmes but has continued remained omnipresent. But one thing is for sure, that Radio needs creative and talented people to fill a range of interesting and diverse roles.
Writing is at the heart of programme broadcast. Your success in this field is determined by your ability to write well. You should develop the ability to capture the essence of a complicated story and then present the essential facts in a clear, concise and interesting manner. This helps the audience to understand, digest and remember what is presented. A Broadcaster must learn to work under pressure. Sometimes, some programmes, like news, demands a deadline. Common sense is indispensable for a broadcaster. As a broadcaster gathers experience, he becomes a storehouse of knowledge, and aware of the nature of different organizations. More than anything else, a broadcaster must have self-confidence.
A good quality education and sound qualifications hold you in all careers. Most Radio broadcasters have a graduation degree at the least, which can be in any subject. Post graduation in Mass communication or a Diploma in this field adds to the knowledge of Radio Production, as it is an essential part of its curriculum.
There are three main entry routes into broadcast. In Public service broadcasting, graduates, after passing an audition test and completing the Vani certificate course, enter into broadcasting on assignment basis. In commercial radio stations, RJ's get honorarium on hourly basis or sometimes a fixed package. Community Radio does not allow salary, and volunteers can perform even if they do not possess any formal education. New aspirants develop their skills on the job. Trainees may follow an experienced broadcaster, assisting in research or arranging interviews, before gradually taking on their own assignments. Employers may offer technical training in the use of recording and editing equipment.
Station Directors or Station Managers are overall in charge/responsible for the running of Radio stations – leading the programme, engineering and administration of the staff team, to ensure that they meet the objectives of the station, in terms of output, audience, or revenue. The job is demanding, and can involve working for long and unpredictable hours.
One might be from any background in class 12th, but the entry is through exams for BJMC. The entrance tests include questions on media based GK, Maths, English and reasoning. Some Universities have a creative test as well, where one needs to design advertisements, write radio scripts etc., followed by a GD and an Interview. Apart from that, one can go for Post Graduation in Broadcasting Journalism, Mass Communication, Journalism, PR, Advertising, Radio Jockey etc.
Some of the top universities are Delhi University, Bombay University, St. Xavier's College-Mumbai, Jai Hind College-Mumbai, Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism, Jamia Millia Islamia, Symbiosis-Pune, Guru Gobind Singh IP University-Delhi, Banasthali Vidyapeeth –Rajasthan. However, if you don't get into the above colleges at the undergraduate level, pursue English (H)/Hindi (H), or any other undergraduate course and go for Masters in Mass Communication from Indian Institute of Mass Communication-Delhi, Delhi University, IP University, Aligarh Muslim University, Banaras Hindu University, Central University Jamia Millia Islamia. Private institutes like New Delhi YMCA, Bhartia Vidya Bhawan & some media houses also run news reading course like NDTV's 10 month Certificate in Broadcasting Training, India Today Media Institute, Express Institute of Media Studies, Time School of Journalism, The MUDRA Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad (MICA); admission through CAT (www.mica.india.net) , All India Radio, New Delhi (13-week in house course for its RJs), `Miranda House, Delhi University (Deptt. Of Adult & Continuing Education etc).
Radio Jockey
Priety Zinta did it in Salaam Namaste, Vidya Balan in "Lage Raho Munnabhai", and how can we forget the "Bhaiyon aur Behano" style of Ameen Sayani, the golden voice of yesteryears – who began his radio career in 1951 with Radio Ceylon and later kept millions engrossed with "Binaca Geet Mala" on AIR. Today, he anchors a show on RED FM in addition to producing a number for the network.
According to him, "An RJ (radio jockey) is the mouthpiece of the station. He has to take the burden of representing the right, as well as the dark side of the station." A radio jockey is a person who hosts a radio talk show, where he/she selects the music to be played and also interacts with the audience via telephone.
The last decade has brought about a sea of change in the way people look at entertainment, and the media is racing to provide them with just what is being asked for. The radio boom – that was seen in the form of transformation from AM channels to FM channels- witnessed a new industry uprising. This gave opportunities to various private players such as Radio Mirchi, Red FM, Radio City etc. With this, there has been resurgence in the popularity of Radio.
Radio jockeys often work within tight schedule constraints, which can be physically and mentally stressful. However, as Jayshree, who has been an RJ for the past six years, feels that the intangible rewards – personal and professional contacts, creative work, and the satisfaction of becoming widely known, far outweigh the disadvantages of irregular and often unpredictable work hours, work pressure, and disrupted personal lives. One should be able to evolve a style of their own, and keep a watch on all other stations, and listen to all others like BBC, CNN, FM, not to copy them but to avoid any duplications.
There are a host of crash courses in voice-overs or mixing, run by professionals in the field. At present, there are two ways of gaining entry into this field. Give an audition at AIR which holds auditions for RJs every 3 months, for which you have to enrol yourself. Notice for the audition is put up on a board at the AIR building.
The programme coordinator holds the auditions; you might be asked to do a mock interview with a celebrity or a mock dial-in show etc. Out of around 300 hopefuls who audition, only 6 are chosen. Those selected, undergo training for 2 months where they learn everything from a CD player to mixers, DATS (Digital Audio Technology) etc.
Another option for entry is to approach the software producer companies which produces radio programmes for the client. Software producers generally prefer people with 2-3 years of experience. Sponsored programmes pay you between Rs.5,000 to Rs.8,000 per show.

Free speech groups are calling on Gov. Terry McAuliffe to veto a bill that would force schools to notify parents if their child is assigned to read books with sexually explicit content.
The National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC), along with groups such as the American Booksellers for Free Expression and the American Library Association's Office of Intellectual Freedom, says the bill "relies on a standard that is both over-inclusive and vague" and includes titles such as Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," Anne Frank's "The Diary of a Young Girl" and most publications by William Shakespeare.
The legislation was sparked by a Fairfax County mother who objected to her son reading Toni Morrison's "Beloved" in his English class in 2013. The novel is about a former slave who kills her daughter rather than return her to slavery.
House Bill 516, first sponsored by Republican Del. Steve Landes, permits parents "to review instructional material that includes sexually explicit content" and requires schools to provide alternatives if the parent objects.
The free speech groups sent a letter to the governor this week that says "singling out material with a certain type of content inevitably creates a biased perspective and casts a negative light on the material regardless of its educational value."
Many school divisions in Virginia already have similar policies in place, but there's no law in place.
McAuliffe has not said whether or not he supports the bill. He has until April 11 to act on the bill.

As a sportswriter, once you've been in this business a while, you tend to lose your rooting interests. You just hope for good games, great storylines and later deadlines.
But circumstances sometimes have a way of touching the heart. It did for me Friday night. While standing on the sideline at Tampa Plant High School's stadium, I found myself rooting for Eric Jackson.

Clermont debutant Samuel Ezeala recovering in hospital after brutal tackle
Clermont winger Samuel Ezeala has had a rough start to his club rugby career. The teenager was knocked out cold after a nasty head clash with Racing 92's Virimi Vakatawa. Thankfully, he seemed fine on Monday, flashing a smile and a thumbs-up from his hospital bed.
The incident occured just under an hour into the match, as Racing were enjoying a 39-6 lead.
The Elusive Vakatawa broke free and made a run of several metres before being met by Ezeala, who turned 18 just last month, in a collision that left the youngster sprawled out on the ground.
The next few moments were somewhat unsettling as training staff came out and even held up sheets as they began assisting Ezeala. Shortly after, he was carted off the field.
My brother is feeling better ??????????— Virimi Vakatawa (@vvakatawa) January 8, 2018
Speed recovery my brother
God Bless ???????? pic.twitter.com/9qYuLSRNje
Thankfully, Clermont has issued a statement saying that Ezeala's MRI scan was clear and there was nothing to worry about. He should be free to return to the club on Tuesday. Vakatawa visited him in hospital, giving him a French jersey and posing for a photo.
Earlier he had tweeted:
"I was not planning to hurt you today my brother,im sorry. Speed recovery and hope to see you back on the field soon. God Bless You my brother"
As for the rest of the match, things continued to go downhill for Clermont as the champs went down by the shocking final score of 58-6.

Write down 25 goals.
Review your list and circle your top 5 goals. At this point, you will have 2 lists. The 5 items you have circled are List A and the 20 items you have not circled are List B.
List B simply became your list of distractions.
Come what may, these things do not get attention from you till you have completed your top 5. Eliminating inefficient products and choices is fairly simple. It's getting rid of things you appreciate that is tough.
Every habit has an expense.
It is tough to avoid utilizing your time on things that are simple to justify, however have little reward. The jobs that have the best possibility of hindering your development are the ones you appreciate, however are not really essential. They use up time and energy that could be put on much better habits or more crucial jobs.
List B are things you appreciate.
They are necessary to you. It is extremely simple to validate investing your time on them. When you compare them to your List A, these items are distractions.
Eliminate ruthlessly.
Force yourself to focus. Finish a job or kill it. The most harmful distractions are the ones you love, but that do not love you back.

Squads Overview
As a competitive swimming club, Basingstoke Bluefins has an extensive programme of competitions to enable all swimmers to get the opportunity to compete at their own level.
The club offers coaching and competitions for all ages in and around Basingstoke. The competition squads operate under the careful guidance of our Head Coach Graeme Thomas and his team of dedicated and experienced coaches.
It is important to note that the club does not enter all competitions with the objective of selecting the strongest possible team to win at all costs. This would inevitably mean the same swimmers competing week after week and others never getting the opportunity. For this reason we also enter a range of competitions at different levels to give everyone the chance to compete.
Our competition programme is split into INTERNAL competitions that are restricted to members of our club and EXTERNAL (open) competitions where we compete against teams or individuals from other clubs.
Competition opportunities are available for:

Thank you for coming to the assistance of the People of St. Maarten!
Since the day of Hurricane Irma's impact, The St. Maarten Hospitality and Trade Association (SHTA), the island's largest employers' association, has been the lead non-government organization coordinating delivery and distribution of relief supplies to and in St. Maarten.
In a matter of days after Irma hit we established a staging site in Puerto Rico where we coordinated evacuations and flew in badly needed medical, food and other emergency aid supplies on private airplanes.
We have been the primary organization facilitating and coordinating efforts with major international relief groups such as Lift, Rescue Global, YachtAid Global, Rise Against Hunger, Samaritan's Purse, ADRA, Caribbean Flyers, FEMA, CDEMA and many others. Much of the non-government aid that has been delivered to St. Maarten has been facilitated through our work.
How to Donate
With the urgent relief effort concluded, we have ended our individual donation drive at shta-relief.sx. If you would like to support our continuing efforts to rebuild St. Maarten, please contact us at office @ shta.com to discuss.
We'd like to extend special thanks to the amazing people of Puerto Rico for their incredible compassion and generosity, as well as to our friends and colleagues in the yachting industry who have mobilized the entire world to help us.
