Prequel: Watch in Time
Sequel: Trapped
Part 1: Person In The MirrorEdit
I wake up and for a moment, I forget where I am and who is with me. Then I look around and look at the girl curled up under the cover. I smile and brush her hair out of her face to where her face is seen through the mask of dirty blonde hair.
She stirs a bit and looks at me. A smile enters her face. "Morning, Doctor," she murmurs. I smile at her once more before shifting out of bed and going to the main room of the tardis, already dressed in my outfit of a brown-with-blue pinstripe suit. I start the tardis up and we start to travel in time to the Salem Witch Trials, back to America with myself.
Once we land, Julia storms out of the room. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!" she shouts. "I WAS ASLEEP AND SUDDENLY, WE MOVE AND I'M TOSSED TO OFF THE BED!"
A sleepy Elizabeth follows Julia. "Calm down, you'll wake up people in China," she mutters crossly. She rubs her eyes, trying to wake up.
Colin comes out after Elizabeth, dressed, which proves he took time to get ready. "Where are we, Doctor?" he asks, confusion gleaming in his eyes. Humans, never will they hide emotion from their eyes.
"May of 1647 in colonial America," I say, a smile on my face.
"1647..." Elizabeth thinks about this for a moment. "Colonial America… Are we in Salem, Massachusetts?" she asks me, looking me in the eyes.
I smile. "Close, we are in Hartfold, Connecticut."
"How is that close?" Colin asks.
I shake my head. "Only a state or two over. Any way, who wants to go find out if someone was actually a witch?"
Julia raises her hand over-enthusiastically. "Sounds like fun… Yeah…" she says, trying to convince herself about the fact.
Elizabeth shrugs. "I guess so."
I smile. "That's the spirit." I take her hand and run, trailing her behind me while Julia and Colin suddenly realize what is going on and runs out of the tardis with us.
Elizabeth's POV
I look around, we stand in front of a home with the name "Young" on the mailbox. "Where are we?" I ask, looking at the Doctor.
"We are at the house of Alse Young. Died at the age of about 47, I have some questions for her," Doctor replies. He walks up to the house and knocks. He then looks back at us. "Well come on then."
I walk up to the door, slowly followed by Julia and Colin.
The door opens and a girl with dark brown hair looks at us. "Wh-Who are you?" she asks, her voice shaking.
"I'm the Doctor, this is Elizabeth, Julia, and Colin. We are here to Alse Young. Is she home?" Doctor asks. I look at the little girl. My heart softens. She is so young and innocent…
"Y-Yes," she says. She steps aside and lets us walk in. The little girl closes the door behind us and leads us to a room in the house where her mother has blocked off with beads, most notably made by the Native Americans, strung from the ceiling. "She's in there."
The young girl wonders off and her mother replies. "You may enter."
Doctor pushes back the beads and leads the way inside. I follow close behind him and look at the lady sitting at the table. "Welcome," she says. "Please sit."
I sit down next to the Doctor and the lady looks at me. "So young and beautiful, to young to carry a child."
Part 2: Two Hearts, One BodyEdit
Julia starts to laugh. "I'm sorry, what now?" she says, her laugh suddenly dropping.
I stare at the lady. "You must be-"
"I do not kid, young child," she says, voice staying in a monotone.
"But it's impossible," I argue. "I haven't done anything like that. How could I possibly be-" I start for her to interrupt me once more.
"I can tell when a child is to be born, even when the egg was just fertilized, only with my own kind, though," she replies, voice cool.
"Own kind?" Doctor asks, finally talking. "What is your own kind, exactly?"
"But she's not a witch," Julia starts. "I'm her sister, I would know because I'm not a witch."
"Only a gene passed to young Elizabeth," Alse says, still not revealing her face.
"We're leaving," Doctor says, standing up. Julia and Colin both look at him before making a shift out of their chairs, but I remain where I am.
"The child… is it going to be a witch like I am or something… different?" I ask.
"The child has two hearts, that is all I can tell you."
Doctor grabs my arm pulling me out of the chair. "Come on, Elizabeth." As he pulls me out of the room, I get a glimpse of Alse's eyes. Dark blue eyes, looking through her hair at me as I disappear out of the room.
Once back at the Tardis, the Doctor slumps over in his chair. Julia looks at him. "My sister, you jack ass. What the hell have you done to her? How long have you known she was a witch? Did you bring her along just so you could find out if Alse Young was a witch or not? How selfish are you?"
"Do you really think I planned for ANY OF THIS to happen, Julia? Hell, if I could, your sister would be curled up in her own bed by now! You wouldn't be here and you know what-" he starts but I interrupt.
"Stop it, the both of you."
"Elizabeth, stay out of this," Doctor says.
I cross my shoulders across my chest. "Doctor, stop being childish. Julia, stop asking questions."
Julia turns to look at me, her hair moving from the side of her head to being behind her shoulders. "I wouldn't have to ask questions if you weren't pregnant! If he didn't plan for this, than explain why she is pregnant with your child, time lord."
"Julia, stop it," Colin says, walking over and putting a hand on her shoulder. "Just… drop the topic."
Julia shakes her head and walks away and Colin follows her, trying to talk her out of her anger.
Doctor grabs my arm. "Come on." He takes me to an off-set room in the tardis. I look at everything in the room. "What is all of this?" I ask.
He just ignores me and grabs some stuff. However, when he grabs a needle, I instantly shake my head. "No no, no needles. What are you going to do?"
He shakes his head. "Relax, I'm going to draw some blood. See how much lying Alse did."
"But needles," I complain. "I don't like needles."
Doctor sets some stuff down on a counter next to a chair. "Alright, fine. You won't be awake. Better?"
"Um…" I start but he grabs some medicine stuff from a jar. "Here."
I look at the medicine before taking some of it. Already, I feel drowsy until I collapse on the dark floor and fall asleep.
Doctor's POV:
I take Elizabeth in my arms and put her in the chair. I prick her finger and take a blood sample. I put it in one of the machines.
I look back at her sleeping form. Everything that was her past, everything that is her now, everything that must not happen in her timeline… I can see it all. But at the same time, with her being so close to myself, I can't see to much of her future. If I try to go farther than a day, I am blocked out.
I stroke her cheek before kissing her forehead.
I look at her stomach and I can see that she is already starting to show. A time lord child does indeed grow faster than any normal child… About 2 and a quarter months… But first signs don't start just yet… Unless…
A bing from the machine takes my mind off of what I was thinking. I go to see the results. I walk out of the room and Colin and Julia look at me.
"Well, what does it say?" Julia asks.
"Alse wasn't lying," I reply.
"About what?" Colin asks, his voice filled with confusion.
"Listen, just go sleep and I'll tell you all later. For now… Rest."
Julia is about to object but Colin gives her a look and she silences. They both walk away to the rooms. I follow shortly behind, thinking about Elizabeth and how she is already showing…
Part 3: Trapped (Elizabeth's POV)Edit
I wake up in a strange room, but surely in the tardis. I stand up and head to the door. I open it and look around. Empty. Slowly, I walk through the hallway and to the main doors of the tardis. I open the doors and see that we are still in 1647. I walk down the streets to the house of Alse Young. I knock on the door and her daughter greets me.
"Hello, can I visit your mother?" I ask the young girl.
"Mother has been expecting you," she says.
She leads me down the hall to where I was earlier. Alse looks at me. "Please do sit," she replies in her cool voice. "Now, look into that frame there. Would you believe that was a mirror? Well, it is. It is of my husband. I have trapped him in there as he was sick, to keep him alive."
"Well what does this have to do with me?" I ask.
Alse looks at me. "This child, it is strong, it will kill you. I shall not let me own kind die. Not today. Not any day."
"Wait," I say but the world around me starts to spin. I scream as I am sucked into one of the mirrors in the room. Hopelessly lost from the world, trapped inside a mirror in the house of the first woman tried and killed for witchcraft in colonial America. And no one knows I am here.

One of Maghull's newest Labour Councillors will be saying "Guten Tag" to some very special visitors to the town this week.
New Maghull Town Council Labour Councillor Dave Jones will be joining his colleagues from Maghull Football Club to welcome 67 guests from Bavaria to the town.
The German footballers are en route to Maghull because of the town's top class football facilities.
Cllr Jones said: "We are welcoming a total of 67 guests from Langshut, a town outside Munich, Bavaria this week.
"Kenny Pugh of Maghull FC was introduced to Georg Gifthaller through a mutual interest in football. Georg regularly organises trips from Germany to watch football in the UK and was informed of the excellent facilities and standard of football at Maghull FC during a recent visit to Merseyside.
"Thanks to the efforts of Labour-run Maghull Town Council parks and gardens staff and the committee of Maghull FC, the facilities at Hall Lane are acknowledged as among the best at amateur level anywhere.
"The German visitors are coming here to see the faciltiies and the work we do here for themselves and also play a couple of special matches at Hall Lane."
Maghull Football Club will be holding a special day of celebration to mark the visit.
Cllr Jones said: "Two matches will take place on Friday (April 5) together with a BBQ, buffet, refreshments and entertainment provided to our guests and supporters thanks to the remarkable generosity of local businesses who have donated money to ensure the day is a success and give a positive reflection of the community in Maghull.
"The sponsors will be thanked in a souvenir programme printed especially for the occasion.
"Maghull Town Council has been supportive of the event with a generous donation and the Mayor of Maghull has been invited to formally welcome our visitors with whom we will foster a union with reciprocal visits giving Maghull children the opportunity of a lifetime to represent our community in Europe.
"This will be a great event and is testament to the fantastic work that Maghull FC does in the community here in Maghull. Everyone is welcome to come along and join in the fun."
Kick off times on Friday (April 5) are 3.30pm and 5pm and further information can be obtained from the Maghull FC website at http://www.maghullfc.co.uk/.

I'm guessing a young female Southern Alligator? About 2 inches long excluding tail. At that size... I'm guessing that she was born last spring?

Hey man, I have 36 different kinds of reptile in my house. So you can trust my replies. Yes it is a female. You can tell by its head. It is more like a cone shape not a male which has more triangle shape. And by the way it surely wasn't born last spring. It is there for at least five years. Any question contact me

What a beauty! So to echo what has already been said, it's definitely a southern, but really hard to tell sex yet until it's close to full grown. Does look a lot like a female though with the thin slender pointy head, however you never know! It might widen and turn chunky with a little more age!
As far as it being 5 years old as previously commented.. there's no way! I currently have an Allie that was born late last year (we found it as a recent hatchling in our house in November) and mine is only a fraction smaller than that. I'd say probably 2 or 3 sheds behind your little one! That would place it maybe the spring previous so if anything id say maybe a year older than your guess at most!
Are you planning on keeping it long term? If so one thing I'd suggest is to add a few more little sticks to your enclosure, perhaps a small pile in one corner. That's what I do and it's really helpful for them to rub on and around when they shed their skin (as they shed all in one piece like a snake!). If you notice it's colors darken or dull, start misting the stick pile daily until it sheds. The moisture and the rough sticks do wonders to help them slip out of their skin in one piece! Also another hide or two would be appreciated I'm sure. Although my little one likes to hang out in the open most of the time, they do like multiple hides.
Something else to bear in mind is as the weather cools off this lizard will try to brumate. This can be tricky to manage in captivity with indoor temp fluctuations and stuff, and it's very nerve wracking as they wont eat for prolonged periods! If you're going to try to keep it from brumating you may also have trouble, as given its size it's probably done it at least once in the wild already. It's hard to teach old lizards new tricks! (Discovered through experience!)Haha.
Any trouble or issues you have, come check these threads, or just ask. It may be a slow response, but most of the people here really know their stuff and will help with whatever!
Congrats on your new friend!

Intracranial chondrosarcoma (myxoid type)
Patient Data
CT brain
Loading Stack -
0 images remaining
Large rounded mainly hypotenuse mass lesion in the right frontoparietal region, with surrounding vasogenic deem and moderate mass effect, in the form of effacement of the ipsilateral sulci, lateral ventricle (partially) causing a degree of midline shift.

- Mixed solid-cystic lesion with necrosis/liquefaction seen within the solid component. Enhancing wall around the cystic component. Intraaxial location. Bright DWI signal within tumour reflects low ADC due to hypercellularity. No calcification seen (CT). The appearance is indistinguishable from high grade glioma/glioblastoma.
During surgery, the margin is well-circumscribed and the tumour is rubbery/leathery.

Loading Stack -
0 images remaining
Paraffin sections show a densely hypercellular tumour composed of small cells with round and oval hyperchromatic nuclei and a small amount of pale cytoplasm. These are arranged in diffuse sheets within a stroma containing myxoid/mucinous material. Poorly formed cartilage is noted in one area. Tumour cells also form perivascular pseudo-rosette like structures around viable blood vessels. Frequent mitotic figures are identified and there is extensive tumour necrosis.
Immunohistochemistry shows strong membrane staining in tumour cells for CD56, patchy staining for CD99 (MIC-2) in a membranous and peri-nuclear pattern, and patchy staining for desmin, smooth muscle actin (SMA) and neurone specific enolase (NSE). No staining for GFAP, synaptophysin, TTF-1, tyrosinase or a range of cytokeratins (AE1/AE3, CAM5.2; CK7, CK20, CK19, CK5&6) is seen in tumour cells.
The features are of an undifferentiated malignant tumour. The myxoid stromal material and focal poorly formed cartilage suggest myxoid chondrorsarcoma. Immunostaining for CD56, NSE and CD99(MIC2) is consistent with this diagnosis.

When it gets warmer outside, many people choose to cook their food on a grill. There are two different types of grills you can use. It all depends on your preference. Your grill options are a gas grill or a charcoal grill.
Why use propane grill?
Many people prefer to use a gas grill because they find it more convenient of the two. Not only is it easier to ignite, but it tends to cook food more evenly. If you decide to use a gas grill to cook your meal, you will need to make sure you hook up a turkey bbq on a propane grill correctly. If the barbecue turkey is not connected the way it should be, it could end up putting you and your family in danger.
Check the propane level.
Before you start connecting your barbecue to a turkey on a propane grill, you should check that to make sure there is enough propane in it to cook the food. If you have not used your grill in a long time and are not sure how much propane you have left, then you may want to consider buying a new turkey barbeque. It is essential to be extremely careful when setting up your barbecue turkey on a propane grill. This is because you can quickly start a fire if your bbq turkey is not set in the right way. There are some simple steps that you can follow to be sure that you have set your barbecue turkey correctly.
Check for leaks
You'll want to check out your BBQ turkey before you start setting it up. There should be no leaks, and the hoses connecting everything should be in excellent condition. If you find that the tubes are worn or cracked, then it is not a good idea for you to use your grill before buying new ones. After you have made sure that everything is in excellent condition, you can then connect your BBQ turkey to your grill.

If you say the word hook to a fiction writer they immediately think you're referring to the situation or event early in the story that grabs the reader's attention. The hook is intended to impact the reader in a way that makes them want to read further. It makes them want to, well … uh, buy your book!
The origins of the word hook harkens back to physical implements like the two hooks shown in the picture. These are actually the same two hooks except the one on the left is covered with a rubber hose and then the ends were epoxied shut. The reason for doing this is that the hook, while big enough and strong enough to meet my boating application, has a zinc coating. In a saltwater environment the zinc coating will totally rust over in a year or less. Thus, by putting the rubber hose over it and sealing it I've delayed the rusting by many years. Of course, had I been able to buy this hook in stainless steel I could have avoided having to add the covering.
Fortunately, the hooks we use in fiction writing don't rust. However, like the hooks in the photo they do have to be strong enough to do the intended job. Some authors, if they have a sufficient fan base, can get away with a weak hook. I'm not one of those, nor are most of the writers I know. So I'm all for a nice, strong hook.

May 09, 2017 16:30 ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 9, 2017) - Pizza Pizza Royalty Corp. (the "Company") (TSX:PZA), which owns the Pizza Pizza and Pizza 73 Rights and Marks, released financial results today for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
First Quarter highlights:
For the three months ended March 31, 2017 ("Quarter"), System Sales from the 751 restaurants in the Royalty Pool increased 0.6% to $133.9 million from $133.1 million in the prior year comparable quarter when there were 736 restaurants. System Sales in the prior year quarter included an extra day of sales in February 2016 due to the leap year, which management estimated to be $1.0 million.
Royalty Pool System Sales for the Quarter increased over the prior year comparative period as a result of the impact of net, new restaurants added to the Royalty Pool on January 1, 2017, offset by the reported same store sales decrease. Additionally, the extra day of sales in the prior year quarter should be considered when comparing 2017 to 2016.
Same store sales growth ("SSSG"), the key driver of yield growth for shareholders of the Company, decreased by 0.7% for the Quarter compared to a 2.5% increase in the same quarter last year. SSSG is not affected by the additional day during the leap year in 2016, as SSSG is calculated using a 13-week comparative basis.
Paul Goddard, CEO, Pizza Pizza Limited, said: "Our sales were softer than anticipated this quarter. The average customer check increased, but customer traffic decreased compared to the prior year quarter. In the past year, we've selectively increased prices on a few of our most popular offerings which has negatively impacted traffic, but positively impacted restaurant profitability. In what seems to be an industry-wide trend, we encountered continued weakness in consumer spending, not only in western markets, but, in parts of Ontario as well. Having said that, we are excited to begin celebrating Pizza Pizza's 50th anniversary with sales-building campaigns designed to increase traffic."
The Company declared shareholder dividends of $5.3 million, or $0.2139 per share, for the Quarter compared to $5.1 million, or $0.2091 per share, for the prior year comparable quarter. The payout ratio was 103% for the Quarter and was 100% for the prior year comparable quarter.
For Canadian federal tax purposes, the dividend is considered a taxable eligible dividend.
The Company's working capital reserve is $5.0 million at March 31, 2017, which is a decrease of $150,000 as compared to December 31, 2016. The decrease in the reserve was the result of flat adjusted earnings in the Quarter, coupled with an increase in the dividend effective June 2016.
The reserve is available to stabilize dividends and fund other expenditures in the event of short- to medium-term variability in System Sales and, thus, the Company's royalty income. With this reserve in place, the Company has set a 2017 targeted payout ratio at or near 100% on an annualized basis. The Company does not have capital expenditure requirements or employees.
Fully-diluted basic EPS for the Quarter increased 1.4% to $0.217 per share compared to $0.214 per share for the same quarter in 2016. The increase in EPS for the Quarter is attributable to increased royalty income and a decrease in administrative expenses.
As compared to basic EPS, the Company considers "adjusted" EPS1 to be a more meaningful indicator of the Company's operating performance and, therefore, presents fully-diluted adjusted EPS. Adjusted EPS for the Quarter was flat at $0.219 when compared to the same quarter in 2016.
1 Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and may be calculated in a manner that differs from that used by other issuers. For additional information about the calculation and use of these measures, please see "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures" in the Company's Management's Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A").
Current income tax expense for the Quarter was consistent with the 2016 comparable period at $1.4 million, as the operating results were comparable.
Of particular note is that the Company's earnings from operations before income taxes, calculated under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), differs significantly from its taxable income, largely due to the tax amortization of the Pizza Pizza and Pizza 73 Rights and Marks. The amount of the tax amortization deducted is based on a declining basis and will decrease annually.
The number of restaurants in the Company's Royalty Pool increased by a net, 15 to 751 on the January 1, 2017 Adjustment Date. The number of restaurants in the Royalty Pool will remain unchanged through December 31, 2017.

With four and a half years and almost 600 workshops under her belt, the Rainbow Fairy (otherwise known as Natasha Gavin, founder of I Know Why It's Yum, Mum!) can make teachers' and parents' jaws drop as they witness the fussiest of little eaters trying fruit and vegetables that they've never eaten before.
Natasha Gavin founded her social enterprise following her then three-year-old son calling down the stairs: "Mum, I need to have porridge for breakfast and broccoli for dinner, I can't poo!"
She says that while she does not remember exactly what she said, she must have explained to him the benefits that certain foods have for the body.
This was her 'Eureka' moment – children are happy to eat healthy foods when they understand exactly why it is important and how they help their bodies.
Driven by the ever-growing issue of childhood obesity, she went on to start up I Know Why It's Yum, Mum! in December 2010 with her two close friends, which culminated in their first show at a primary school in January 2012 and the creation of the Rainbow Workshops for two- to five-year-olds just a few months later.
Explaining why bananas can make us happy
Dressing as a "kooky" Rainbow Fairy with no wings, just a rainbow fascinator, rainbow shoes and brightly patterned cardigans – "I have two sons so I was very conscious about appealing to boys and girls" – Mrs Gavin goes into nurseries to help children get to love fruit and vegetables.
She explains there are three methods involved in the workshops: "To enchant, to captivate and to brainwash."
Introducing children to the idea of a rainbow diet and five-a-day, Mrs Gavin's catchy songs and clever concepts and methods encourage children to develop an interest in fruit and vegetables by explaining their benefits and taking away the fear of healthy eating.
She says: "The focus is on fruit and vegetables. I don't tell them not to eat sweets, chocolate, crisps, and this is what parents like.
"It's not preaching to them about what they should and shouldn't eat, it's telling them why peas are good for their muscles or why a banana can make them happy and getting them to eat more fruit and veg.
"Then hopefully they just don't have much room left for things like sweets and bread, empty calories!"
As the Rainbow Fairy, Mrs Gavin has ways of encouraging even the fussiest of eaters to try new foods.
She explains that desensitisation is key to turning these children towards fruit and vegetables.
This is where the fun part – playing with food – comes in.
"I'll throw a pomegranate to two or three children, roll a cabbage towards them. And the carrots I take in still have their tops on so I tickle some of the children with this – all ways of desensitising them," she says.
"This helps me see which children might be a bit reticent and then I can focus more on them. I also ask nursery staff to just subtly let me know which children have the major issues or food phobias so I can spend more one-to-one time with them."
Children at Buttercups Homefields Nursery recently got to meet the Rainbow Fairy and have some fun with fruit and vegetables in this way, surprising parents by eating things they hadn't before.
Staff at the nursery told daynurseries.co.uk: "The children all gathered around touching food and having fun with some vegetables to encourage some fussy eaters.
"They had pretend fights with cucumber swords, they were carrot snakes with snake tongues (peelings), they burst pomegranate jewels on their tongues and turned grumpy faces into happy faces after eating a slice of banana."
The pomegranate 'jewels', which one child enthusiastically described as "tasty", are a big hit with children, likely due to Mrs Gavin's simple yet clever technique of limiting the amount available for the children.
She explains: "If I have a box of pomegranate seeds and there's only enough for one each, everyone wants to have one. But if I had lots of seeds the children wouldn't be interested."
This, coupled with peer pressure from other children and the Rainbow Fairy's remarks of "big boys and girls like their vegetables, don't they?" tends to be enough to encourage reluctant children to try something new.
Unenthusiastic staff the biggest problem for the Rainbow Fairy
But while the nursery staff at Homefields enjoyed the Rainbow Fairy's visit just as much as the children at the nursery did, Mrs Gavin explains that sometimes staff can be a little reluctant and unenthusiastic, which can be an issue when it comes to engaging the children as staff are looked to as role models.
Although this only happens around 10 per cent of the time, Mrs Gavin tries to avoid it happening at all by constantly bringing them in and actively engaging them in the workshop.
She says: "If I can see a teacher is not engaged I'll draw them in by saying their name and getting them involved."
"Shall we have a quick check in Mrs Smith's ear to see if her brain is big," the Rainbow Fairy asks the children. "And whether she eats up her pumpkin and sunflower seeds which help her remember things?"
She adds that if a member of staff refuses to eat something the Rainbow Fairy offers them, she makes it clear to the next member of staff that they should for the benefit of the children, just as she does: "Everything I get the children to do I do first."
Top Trumps, European tours and mythicism
With rainbows, stickers, bubbles and songs, there is something for everyone in Natasha Gavin's Rainbow Workshops, and her success extends far beyond the nursery classroom.
Since starting her social enterprise, Mrs Gavin has published her own set of I Know Why It's Yum, Mum! Top Trumps, produced a CD of the songs she sings in the workshops (including her original, copyrighted Rainbow Diet Song complete with actions), and she has even been on international tours in Paris, Warsaw and Madrid.
But she says that some of the best things about being the Rainbow Fairy are watching children do things most adults would believe impossible, helping children overcome their fears, and receiving feedback from parents years after their children attended a workshop.
She explains: "I get feedback from parents sometimes years after their children have been to my workshops telling me I changed their child's eating habits, or that their children still quote back what I taught them, and they've continued the learning at home with our Top Trumps cards and my CD."
Some parents, she says, have even turned her into something of a mythical creature by writing letters to their children from the Rainbow Fairy to encourage them to eat more fruit and vegetables.
For fussy eaters, Mrs Gavin offers a range of information, advice and tips, including:
1. Get the children to grow their own fruit and veg
2. Have fun with food through play and song
3. Explain why they should eat a rainbow of fruit and veg
4. Compromise
5. Reward small steps

|Spec jar versions
|Fri, 30 Apr 2004 16:26:28 GMT
Yesterday I talked with David Blevins and Jeremy Boynes individually and both suggested that we remove the spec jars from the main build as they should never change. It actually was kind of weird... I think they share the same brain ;) Anyway, it is a good idea, so I propose we change the spec jars to match the version of the spec they represent, so the geronimo-spec-ejb jar would be version 2.1 and the geronimo-spec-j2ee jar would be version 1.4. Further, I think we should tag them as '-rc1' as we can't be sure they are correct until we complete the TCK. If there are no objections, I'll work on this as I add the daily build tasks. Hopefully this will make our entire build run faster. -dain /************************* * Dain Sundstrom * Partner * Core Developers Network *************************/

text: Things have been quiet in wire walk land, but not for lack of trying. The weather has turned colder and life has been busy- not ideal for slacklining. I've been working to try to schedule a tight wire lesson but it's been tricky to coordinate. I've been contemplating how to build some kind of contraption to practice on my own, indoors, during the winter months, but might need a bigger house to make it happen! In the meantime, it's circus documentaries and books!

1) The Under Bridge Railroad
Negan's best men are no match for Daryl's clown car bush. Able to hide dozens of women and children in a single bush! I'm detecting Tara may be harboring ill will towards Dwight, based on the fact that she just hucked a charred walker straight at his grill.
2) Father G Is Not Looking So Hot
You're not looking so good, Father G! Sweaty and talking slow and having trouble reading a map that's two inches from your face. Ohhh, I know what's going on. You're at Coachella! Try closing one eye, that usually does the trick. Only three hours to hightail it out of there before that crawling zombie kills you both.
3) Eyes Wide Shut
Guys. I didn't go to any fancy eye college, but even I know you should have your shit open when taking a roadside eye exam.
4) Daryl's 10 Minute Rest
Love Daryl's management style. These people are exhausted because they haven't slept? Let them rest for TEN MINUTES. Have you ever tried resting for ten minutes? It doesn't work. Resting for no minutes is better because at least that way you're not lying to yourself with this 10-minute nonsense.
Dwight posts up in the background on the skinniest tree of all time. It's basically a giant toothpick for his asshole.
5) Morgan Is Giving This Kid Crazy Lessons
Morgan is preparing his apprentice with crazy lesson. New Carl is already being crazy at an 8th grade Morgan level! Staring into the distance, clutching a murder stick. Glazed over face, only speaking to say he's fine or make death threats. They grow up so fast, he's going to be clear in no time.
6) Negan Ran Out Of Infinite Ammo
You heard the man, Eugene! Negan used up the last of his infinite ammo, so go to that ammunition factory that was last mentioned, like, TWO FUCKING YEARS AGO, and whip up some more infinite ammo! Chop chop!
7) Their Cups Runneth Over
Wow. Father G was right about this place! It's a gold mine! He found … a piggy bank and some radio nerd's journal. Great work. The Doc would love to listen to Father G's dying ramblings, but he has to go kill a dead guy.
8) Maggie's 42 Months Pregnant
Maggie looks at this baby to remind us she's pregnant. Because we'd have no other way to tell since she still has abs. Only 37 more trimesters to go, Mags!
9) Pill Party
Hear that, Father G?! These are antibiotics! You're saved! And he has some Quaaludes in the closet. The LAST QUAALUDES EVER! Let's fucking party, dude!
10) Swamp Things
Uhhhhh. Guys. This swamp looks extremely dangerous. You're all gonna die. And you're gonna die with WET ICKY SWAMP SOCKS. The worst fate imaginable.
11) Gregory Is Still The Worst
Public service announcement reminder that, despite anything he ever says, Gregory still sucks worse than icky swamp socks.
12) Butt Tunnel Vision
It looks like Father Gabriel is inside of a butthole looking out. There is simply no other way to describe it.
Wait, he just found map and some car keys in that piggy bank? His butthole seeing ass keeps winning. Screw the map, take him and the 'ludes to Zombie Vegas and put five grand on red! This blind priest is hot!
13) Vengeance For Doctor Lady
Sorry, Dwight. Tara doesn't care about your apology. Because you killed Doctor Lady. Everyone's fifth favorite doctor on this show. WOODS CHASE, BITCHES!
Uh, that was a really weak woods chase. I'd like to speak to the Woods Chase manager, I demand a refund.
14) Just Shoot Me
Let's pump the brakes on that Vegas trip. It appears Father G's luck may have run dry, what with the doc getting fully stuck in a bear trap.Guys. I didn't graduate from any fancy gun shooting universities but aren't you supposed to keep your eyes open for the duration of your aiming?
Jesus take the trigger! Vegas trip back on!
15) Daryl's Pissed
Daryl is PISSED Tara sent Dwight back to the Saviors. He's saying more words than he's said for the last four seasons so you know he means business!
What's His Name (Jobin?) covers Judith's baby ears because she does NOT need to hear those stuff and things. That is sooooo a What's His Name (Jobin?) season 8B thing to do. What a fully developed character.
17) Breaking Sad
Daryl breaks the news to the gang in slooooow motionnnn. "Caaaaarl. He didn't make it. He diiiiiied. It took foreverrrrr, you should honestly be stoked you weren't around for it. It was laaaaame."
And the tears of joy overwhelm them.
18) Morgan's Bedtime Story
Morgan comforts this kid by letting him know he already violently murdered the guy who killed his brother. Sooooo, yeah. Sleep great tonight, little buddy.
19 Eugene: Scientist Of Bullets And Love
Eugene responds to one of the last women on earth flirting with him by scolding her for her lack of gloves and proper eye protection. Then he barks at hear to whip up some eggs and prepare to wipe the sweat from his brow. If you turn the volume up on this scene, you can actually hear her vagina sealing up. TUNE IN NEXT WEEK! Will Father G be a good employee in Eugene's bullet factory? They're definitely going to save some money on his protective eye wear. Will Gregory and that dude take advantage of Maggie's work release program? They're plotting their revenge right after they starve to death. Will Negan attack Hilltop? Yes, but only after five or six more minutes of sensually rubbing Lucille into zombie faces and tummies. Maybe ten more minutes of zombie tummy rubs. Twelve minutes tops. NONE OF THIS AND MORE! Next time on S08E12 of The Walking Dead.

We are accepting gifts so some who see this may wonder why they should financially support a project that is not officially a non-profit. This is part 2 of the series of entries in which I address the question. For this entry, I will look at the next possible question: How will our objective be accomplished?
In the prior entry we pointed out the need for things to add to peace and understanding on an international level. The need of adding community and unity to human kind internationally is very important so that we can be one step closer to the dream of world peace and cooperation. We suggest that a personal international meet and greet would be a good way to address this need.
Quite simply our goal of unity and community will be accomplished in all of our activities. The very act of two very disparate people traveling together in and of itself is a part of that. Each person who finds us online and chooses to keep track of our journey and via online groups to interact with each other is another step. Every person who meets us at port and shows us (and our youtube and blog audience) their city and country is yet another part of that.
So we thank you for reading and being the very first link in an international chain that we hope to build world wide!
~ Niccolea

Family & Baby Photographer
Candid and Natural Family Photos With Zero Cheese
Welcome! I'm Antonina. I'm a family photojournalist specializing in candid, natural family photography that involves zero cheese and absolutely no posing.
I believe in seeing extraordinary in the ordinary. I believe that real is the new perfect. I believe that children deserve to have lasting memories of their childhood, and have photographs of them with their parents, playing, walking, exploring – and even going about the day-to-day things.
I'm passionate about creating meaningful family photographs for families from across the globe, and work all across London.
Richmond Home-Based Baby & Child Photography
I will come to your home in Richmond to photograph your baby, child, bump or family in a relaxed, candid and unobtrusive natural light session. With no bright lights, flashes or studio equipment, and no pressure on a child to "behave", these at home photography sessions are guaranteed to produce beautiful and meaningful family photographs you will treasure forever.
Outdoor Photography Shoots in Richmond-upon-Thames
Richmond has a unique blend of beautiful outdoor locations perfect for a relaxed family photoshoot.From strolling along the river to playing in Richmond Park or even a family outing to Petersham Nurseries, there are plenty of options to capture your family life in a beautiful setting. Before your photoshoot, we will talk in details about the places your family enjoys the most, and design the photoshoot to capture you having great time in some of your favourite locations.
Underwater family photos in East Wittering
Documentary pregnancy photoshoot with a toddler at home in Highgate
This expecting mama got in touch with me as she wanted to document the transition from one child to two with beautiful storytelling photographs and an album. She could already see her life changing, and that's what attracted her to my honest, documentary storytelling.read more
Newborn baby girl photoshoot at home in London
This newborn photography session in London was no exception and we spent a lovely couple of hours capturing real and honest portraits of this new family of three. There was no need to wait until the baby fell asleep (she didn't really!) and we were able to capture many beautiful and honest photographs of the new parents just finding their feet with this whole parenting gig, as well as a few lifestyle portraits to share with friends and family.read more
I will treasure these forever!
"Oh my goodness! I think you have captured every single possible expression of the kids as well all the antics they get up to! I'm blown away! Love them all even the ones of us in our PJ's. You capture the essence of our family. I will treasure these forever!"
We love them!!
Thank you so much!
"We just love them all and you have captured just everything with such detail it will help us hold on to those beautiful memories."

LANDOVER -- Bernard King may prove -- as he did in 1987 -- that he can recover from knee surgery after sitting out for more than an entire season. But for the members of the Washington Bullets, King's release Thursday was the best move for the rebuilding team.
A team whose future is geared toward the development of younger players -- 10 of the 13 players on the roster have four or less years of NBA experience -- the Bullets decided to stick to their master plan by releasing King, 36.
After the Bullets didn't reactivate him last week, King got into a shoving match with coach Wes Unseld during practice. The team suspended him for four days after the Jan. 14 incident.

I enjoyed the Tableau session. It was a good introduction to the tool.
they ran out of pizza
It was great! Very informative. Knowledgeable presenter.
I really enjoyed this workshop. Wendy was very informative, engaging, and well-prepared, and I hope she'll teach more workshops with similar skills in the future. I'd love to learn more about this!
Loved it and fairly simple
Excellent program. Very helpful. Thanks, Don Wukasch
It was very nice. Thank you for offering this.
I learned a lot about becoming a more efficient researcher, and letting technology do some of the legwork of searching for journal articles in my field!
This tour is excellent because not only did Jamie do a great job of showcasing and explaining the art work, but the pieces are often hidden right next to campus buildings, and are often not seen because people don't know that they are there. I highly recommend this tour to anyone, whether they are interested in art or not.
I realized after signing up that this session was not available online. It would be helpful to record it for those folks to watch it if they were not able to attend like me. It is important to be a savvy google searcher.

Illicit opioid use continued in both groups, but frequency was reduced. Results do not provide support for diverting resources from MMT into long-termm detoxification."

In collaboration with the City of Gresham, the Boys & Girls Club of Portland will expand youth service programs into the Rockwood neighborhood. Located at the intersection of SE Stark Street and SE 165th Avenue in Gresham is an almost 4-acre site that was formally used for a commercial nursery and a landscape company. A new 28,000 sq. ft. Boys & Girls Club including 7,000 sq. ft. adaptive reuse of an existing building and 21,000 sq. ft. of new building with a full-size gymnasium is proposed for development on this site.
The site development surrounding the new Boys & Girls Club youth facility provides programmatic and site specific responses to the various physical and environmental influences within and surrounding the site. Programmatic goals for the site development include: parking and drop-off areas, an inviting and flexible courtyard space at the building's main entrance, half-street improvements, new landscaping, and a play field that hosts primarily youth soccer events.
Holst Architecture is leading the effort and providing architectural services. GreenWorks is providing site design and landscape architectural services, and TM Rippey is providing the civil engineering for this project.

Few more spurious quotes from the very end of House of Chains. Relatively spoiler-free.
The proportions had begun wrong. From the very start. Leading her to suspect that the proclivity for madness had already existed, dark flaws marring the soul that would one day claw its way into ascendancy.
I have walked into the Abyss.
I am as mad as that goddess. And this is why she chose me, for we are kindred souls…
This is another good example that illustrates what Ascendancy truly is and how it is regulated. Even if it's a theme of the book making the process more blurred and defying categories, since at the core "Ascendancy" is strictly linked to the ambiguous production of meaning. Dancing on a edge to keep a fine balance.
He did the best he could – with such honour as to draw, upon his sad death, the attention of Hood himself. Oh, the Lord of Death will look into a mortal's soul, given the right circumstances. The, uh, the proper incentive. Thus, that man is now the Knight of Death—'
Even here Ascendancy is the result of both convenience and kinship. A wicked sort of reward. The honor of failure. There's no salvation in Ascendancy. There's no glory.
This is why Ascendancy is symbolized by T'lan Imass. Immortality made into failure.
T'lan imass / glory & ghosts
'The glory of battle, Koryk, dwells only in the bard's voice, in the teller's woven words. Glory belongs to ghosts and poets. What you hear and dream isn't the same as what you live – blur the distinction at your own peril, lad.'
Karsa's expression soured. 'When I began this journey, I was young. I believed in one thing. I believed in glory. I know now, Siballe, that glory is nothing. Nothing. This is what I now understand.'
'What else do you now understand, Karsa Orlong?'
'Not much. Just one other thing. The same cannot be said for mercy.'
'The heart is neither given nor stolen. The heart surrenders.'
The bonecaster did not turn round. 'That is a word without power to the T'lan Imass, Onrack the Broken.'
'You are wrong, Monok Ochem. We simply changed the word to make it not only more palatable, but also to empower it. With such eminence that it devoured our souls.'
The very last few words that conclude the book, in italics, deliver not only the answer to all this, but also a huge revelation that hit with all its power. Neither of the three preceding books ended on a so high note.

Sikh Environment Day
The Sikh community is organizing a Fresno city park cleanup on Sunday to celebrate Sikh Environment Day, which marks the new year in the Sikh calendar in remembrance of one the Sikh gurus: Shri Guru Har Rai ji. Organizers say the guru is revered by many for his "love and sensitivity to nature and its preservation."
The cleanup will be held from 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Sunday at Victoria West Park, 3861 W. Clinton Ave., Fresno. The public is invited to help.
Statement about deportations, immigration
More than 80 clergy and faith leaders with Faith in the Valley on Wednesday shared a letter addressed to Central Valley elected officials regarding deportations and immigration. Around 300 Faith in the Valley members also traveled to the state Capitol Wednesday to urge the passage of SB54: the California Values Act and SB31: the Religious Freedom Act.
Part of their statement: "As clergy and faith leaders representing various faith traditions and thousands of people across the Central Valley, we write to express our great concern over the apparent ramping up of ICE raids and planned deportations of hundreds of hard-working families in recent weeks, as well as recent orders which cast an unprecedented broad net of who can be swept up in deportations. These raids have led to much fear, anxiety, and questions from the undocumented individuals, unaccompanied minors, families, and communities we represent and love. The lack of clarity and transparency from ICE on what is happening and planned in the coming days only add fuel to this atmosphere of tension. We sincerely hope that is not intentional.
"As you know, immigrants (documented and undocumented) and refugees comprise a significant portion of our population here in the Central Valley. They not only make our economy run and feed the world; they are also a major reason why we are proud to call this region our home. Our current immigration system has deep flaws and we, therefore, stand in opposition to efforts to increase deportations and enforcement without national reforms to protect due process, keep families united, and provide a realistic and just pathway to citizenship that does not criminalize individuals."

Eric San Juan has a piece up at his site where he really takes a frying pan to the whole Donald Trump mystique, and it's quite a masterful deconstruction that really needs to be seen. Here's a highlight:
Tragically, Trump doesn't even need to be elected to do damage to this country. He already has. His rhetoric has already helped poison the well (and it's not the first time over the years he's been accused of that). He has made bigots comfortable with being bigots again for the first time in decades. Bigotry and racism never died, of course — if you think black Americans don't live by a different set of rules in this country, you'd give Helen Keller a run for her money — but at least we had reached a point where we all agreed that it was shameful to be a racist. Bigots were encouraged to shut their damn mouths, their poison shared only in private or with knowing glances and nods. Yet now, Trump is making bigotry mainstream again. The damage is done and it's getting worse by the day.There's much, much more over at Eric's site, and I highly recommend jumping over there and giving it all a read.

Multifractal And Monofractal Scaling In A Laboratory Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence Experiment
Document Type
Publication Date
Published In
Astrophysical Journal
Both multifractal and monofractal scaling of structure function exponents are observed in the turbulent magnetic fluctuations of the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment plasma. Structure function and probability distribution function (PDF) analysis exhibits multifractal scaling exponents in low frequency, inertial range fluctuations of the turbulence but monofractal scaling in higher frequency, dissipation range fluctuations. The transition from multifractal to monofractal scaling occurs rapidly suggesting a dissipation mechanism that is insensitive to turbulent structure scale size. Structure functions and PDFs are presented for both temporal and spatial measurements. Variations in the magnetic helicity in the plasma are also shown to modify multifractal scaling characteristics of the inertial range, but do not affect the monofractal scaling of the dissipation range.
methods: statistical, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), plasmas, turbulence

So your planning a little weekend get away for you and the Mrs. Where to go what to do.....You could knock off midweek, and hop a plane to Vegas, or jet into some beach hideaway on the coast. That's the easy and yet somewhat mundane way to do things. Doesn't require much thought,might require some preplanning for accommodation availability,but it does the job and can run into the pricey side.
But have you ever thought about whats between the place you get on the plane and the point you landed? This place called America is huge place with so many miles of roads and points in between. The band Pure Prairie League wrote a song called Two Lane Highway, America has probably more miles of than you can imagine, and holds some of the greatest treasures and memories you'll ever see or have. Granted there's no 5 star hotels,beach or swimming pools, but once your sense of adventure kicks in, that WTF attitude is all you got, the world is your oyster. Get that CD collection of road music, a couple pairs of old blue jeans and some comfortable shoes hit the road. Before you turn the ignition key pick a final destination spot, then find every back road two lane piece of black top that runs through every small town in between.
For some that may be a bit to hard core, and the thought of coming to a cross road every 20 miles and having to make the decision of which way to turn creates to much stress in your life. So pick an established route like Old Route 66 that starts in Chicago and ends in California. Plenty of things to see an do along the way, complete with restored motels down to the neon,gas stations,cafe's and restaurants .
Just recently, I drove from Chicago to West Virginia via Canton Ohio,Columbus Ohio and finally Parkersburg West Virginia. I took US RT 30 which goes directly through Canton Ohio, home of the pro football hall of fame. US RT 33 to Columbus, and then East into West Virginia, SR 2 up along the Ohio River to Wheeling WV picked up I 77 west to 316 in Ohio into Newark Ohio then US 33 back through Decatur Indiana up to US 30 in Ft Wayne and home.All told about 1400 miles but very scenic, a plethora of photo opportunities, small town nuance, festivals, rural beauty and just plain relaxing plus a lot of jumping in and out of the car to shoot pictures, browse, ok I did some shopping, sue me.

Two major solution providers in regulatory compliance join forces to leverage complementary technologies.
Arachnys leads to key discovery in the investigation of suspect on FBI's Most Wanted by global investigations firm
A global investigation firm has conducted a high-profile investigation which demonstrates the importance of combining emerging market data with corporate and litigation information.
Arachnys was mentioned recently in the Joint Committee on Human Rights & Business Inquiry. The Joint Committee included both the Commons and the Lords. Andrew Silvester of the Institute of Directors cited Arachnys as instrumental in curbing slavery in the supply chain:

Sorry I've been sort of MIA recently, but here's something I've been meaning to post for a while. I went to Joan's on Third, Juice Served Here, and Lady M with a friend a little while ago, and here are the pictures to prove it. In case you're wondering, my dress is from Urban Outfitters, and my shoes are Dr. Martens. On another note, Joan's was delicious as always, and I highly recommend the curried chickpeas (on the left of my plate)- they were absolutely amazing. Pretty much everything at Joan's tastes great, and I am never disappointed whenever I order something new. Juice Served Here is also a great juicery, but I will admit it's way overpriced. If you think the 6.50 price tag at Pressed is outrageous, well Juice Served Here's prices are almost double, and they even have a twenty dollar juice, which is absurd. That being said, I ordered the Pixie (#21), which was a mix of pineapple, strawberry, and orange juice, and it was fantastic. I didn't try my friend's juice, but I'm pretty sure she loved her's too. Last but not least, Lady M. Let me just say that I have no idea who exactly Lady M is, but I would absolutely marry this woman if given the opportunity. First of all, let me just say that aesthetically speaking, the store is so fresh, clean, and beautiful. We ordered both the original and green tea flavored crêpe cakes, and both were out of this world. Heaven IS a place on earth, and that place is Lady M. I haven't tried anything other than the crêpe cakes there (otherwise known as "mille crêpes"), but a slice of that cake alone is enough to keep me coming back. I've really never tried anything like them anywhere else. They are basically just layers of crêpes and frosting, which sounds super simple but is also super delicious. There is no way to describe these in a way that will do them justice, but they are just so utterly satisfying both texturally and flavor-wise. I thought the green tea flavor might be overwhelming, but it was absolutely perfect (however, I would not suggest it if you're not a green tea fan). Ultimately, you're just going to have to go out and try a slice for yourself to understand exactly what I'm raving about, but I do know that I will be returning very soon.
I've been really into doing these restaurant reviews, and I know they must be frustrating if you don't live in the Los Angeles area, but I think I'm going to start posting some recipes soon too, as well as other general lifestyle posts. Let me know what you think! Also, sorry I missed this week's 10 truths-- I'll get back to it next Tuesday!

Meet the Team
MyWorkDrive by Wanpath LLC, was developed by the Founders of Intivix, an IT Support and Consulting firm founded in 1996 based in San Francisco California. As an IT support firm and Microsoft Gold Partner, we received frequent requests from clients to provide a remote file access solution that is simple, fast and secure. For today's organizations it's common to have a large percentage of the employees who need remote access to company files. But, in-house users don't want to give up the benefits of an internal network (speed, ease of use). Our experience with VPN software, cloud solutions and syncing software lead us to develop MyWorkDrive. The other solutions we looked at were overly complex, slow or expensive to implement and maintain. We are the only solution that solves that problem. We give you easy, secure remote access to your organization's files using your server storage with no security worries about your data being in the cloud or syncing down to remote computers.
